Quality of the food served was excellent and expected for the price. The atmosphere was quite nice, was apparent that a lot of thought went into the atmosphere detail. For a sit-down evening dining experience it was perfect. This is not the kind of place you go for a fast dining experience, but for an enjoyable "evening out". With appetizers, soup, and main courses the total time in dining was approximately 3 hours. Perfectly reasonable in my estimation for this kind of establishment. The service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Our server was also quite accommodating. There were so many great looking appetizers that we each wanted to try 2 different ones, and they accommodated by allowing half orders. I'd also inquired if the lobster could be shelled and topped onto the Ribeye steak, this was also no problem. Our 2 favorite appetizers were the stir fried squid (I've tried squid done in many ways, this was a very unique and wonderful flavor!), and the Hot & Sticky Mango Shrimp. The Broiled Goat cheese was also VERY good. The blackened beef had a really unique and delicious flavor, but if i was to be very picky was a bit tough textured. Following appetizers, we had a spicy crab chowder (soup), and my companion had the Warm Spinach Salad. The Spicy crab chowder was probably the only thing that came close to a disappointment, the crab was overcooked and grainy, but the flavor was still quite good. The Salad was the hands down winner. I'd never heard of a Spinach salad that included sauteed chicken livers, but it was VERY good (I'd place it on my highly recommended menu items). Main course I had the 16oz Ribeye, med rare with a Fresh steamed lobster, de-shelled on top. Great cut, great flavor, and perfectly prepared. Really appreciated that they didn't over-season the way some steak houses tend to do.. to the point where you lose the flavor of the steak, but enough to really compliment the steaks flavor. My dining companion had the 16 oz ribeye, with the cognac peppercorn sauce. The steak was equally well prepared, and the sauce was a great compliment to the steak. If i was also to be really picky, the drink menu is in the process of being revamped, and I had to go through several selections before I found one they still had available.. but this is REALLY nitpicking to be completely objective. Will definitely be added to a regular and special occasion list of the good restaurants in town.

We came here because it was next to our hotel. We'd arrived after a long flight and didn't feel…read morelike driving. I ordered the short rib beef dip sandwich. Can't highly recommend it. The beef was sparse and a bit dry, which was curious since the bread was quite greasy. I upgraded my side to a "power greens" salad which I did actually enjoy. The greens were fresh and topped with a pleasant poppyseed dressing. Topping it were thick slices of strawberries and postage-stamp size asiago shavings. My wife ordered chicken tenders and fries which were pretty average. As they are at most places. A locally-brewed session IPA whose name I can't recall (Quidi Vidi was the brewery) was on tap and we thought that was quite tasty. Service was quick and personable.

A Disappointing First Visit to Moxie's…read more Last night, my husband and I, accompanied by another couple, decided to try out Moxie's for the first time. Unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. Upon ordering an appetizer to share, we were surprised to find that plates and cutlery were not provided until a few minutes after the dish was delivered. This initial hiccup set the tone for the evening. While my husband and I enjoyed our meals, the other couple ordered steaks. The medium steak arrived well-done, and we were informed by the food runner that there had been an incident in the kitchen, resulting in the need for a remake. Unfortunately, this meant that three of us had nearly finished our meals by the time the last one was delivered. Throughout the dining experience, our waitress failed to inquire about the quality of our food after the appetizer, and she neglected to ask if we wanted refills. While she did take the initiative to discount the affected meal and remove a glass of wine from the bill, the overall service did not meet our expectations. Given the premium prices at Moxie's, we anticipated a higher standard of service. In the event of a mistake like the one with the steak, we would have expected a manager to visit our table and offer a sincere apology. Unfortunately, this level of customer service was lacking. While the food quality for two of us was satisfactory, the overall experience was marred by service shortcomings. We hope that Moxie's takes steps to improve their customer service to match the premium dining experience they aim to provide. First impression are so important and our was very disappointing, needless to say we won't be back.

Slow night and I'm sure the hustle and bustle of a weekend evening would be worth the visit. This was my first visit to this location and it was a bit confusing. The hostess was not at the front when we arrived. So we waited for her to return. Once we checked in she told us to go up stairs and we'd be greeted by another hostess. I asked if we should use the elevator, to which she replied "ya, that's what elevators are for". Well thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that the stairs weren't an option. Once we arrived on the upper floor we stood there like idiots and had to walk around to find someone to seat us. Not a great start. Food service was pretty good. Our server was friendly and attentive, but lacked that polished service and look that The Keg typically offers. She seemed rushed and perhaps lacking support and communication from her team. I think had there been appropriate support staff, she'd likely have been great. Where The Keg fell short this visit was the mains. My Blackened Chicken was dry, luckily the hot honey helped elevate the flavour. The mashed potatoes were par, and the green beans were sad... Zero seasoning. I brought this up with the server and she did offer to replace them, but they should have never been plated in the first place. The Prime Rib was good, but the crispy onions were limp. Crème Brûlée was perfect. Drinks were great. Certainly room for improvement. But not quite typical Keg caliber. Nothing awful happened so a solid 4 stars.

Unfortunately as soon as she sat us and went to get us coffee a server arrived to frustratedly inform us that there was an issue in the kitchen, and we needed to either order that second or leave. Completely understandable there can be issues, but it wasn't our fault we were seated so being curt wasn't necessary, she could've been kind and made her point too. I didn't even have an opportunity to open a menu, but luckily my husband found an egg plate lightening fast so I said I'd take the same. The only difference we'd requested was our eggs cooked two different ways, which was wrong when the food came...but of course no use bringing that to their attention under the circumstances and she wasn't interested anyway. From then on we saw only the hostess again (as she came to check on our coffees). Other than that, we heard the staff somewhere joking loudly or occasionally turning customers away at the door due to the kitchen issue, and a female server (?) start berating the hostess right across from our table. Even though our order wasn't right the food was decent and portions huge. The interior setup is unique, most tables incredibly private. Maybe if we'd come on a different morning we could've enjoyed a meal here, this just clearly wasn't the morning to stop in.
