    My wife and I had our 21st wedding anniversary dinner at Moxie. Excellent experience and wonderful location and atmosphere. Tucked away in an unlikely location, 31 years in that location and the owner Adam was great. Food was excellent. I would say that the Moxie overall was one of those unique places that I always look for and are difficult to fine. Will definitely return.

    This place was recommended by several of my friends so I had to check it out. I made a reservation. I called ahead and they called me back. I think it was the owner who called back. SO it's located right in downtown neighborhood. second from the corner. A yoga place is next door. It has an awning at the entrance. It's kind of hidden. There is street parking. We had to drive around a bit to find a spot but not too far at all. I came at just before 5:30 PM which is when my reservation was. They are supposed to open at 5 but the doors were locked. The owner came and opened the door and asked if I was David and said someone coming in had locked it. The owner was so nice and animated, so funny. I think his name is Adam, which another customer called out later. The place was empty except for the staff. Very dark in this place. Lots of old photos lined the walls. He sat us at a table about 3 tables in from the front door. Which is great because I hate being by the door. Adam said this was the Love table. Since we were a couple. There was a wall of all the liquor to our left , very long and a lot of liquor. He gave us a menu and said he would be back to tell us the specials. Another person brought us water and I had to check the place out. I was going to get up and walk around but Adam came right back. He said that in the back all of the phots were of people kissing and I could go there later. I never did though. Next time. I really couldn't tell how big the place was. I never got up. The menu wasn't that big , just one page. Adam went over the specials. OMG there were so many and every kind of fish and meat dishes. I couldn't remember them all. Way more than the menu. It was truly amazing that he could spout all of it out verbatim. I heard him do it again to tables that came in later. We started off with a ground up filet minion egg roll. The way he described it my wife thought it was going to be a flaky beef in a pastry but it was egg roll. I liked the flavor a lot but it had cilantro so the wife didn't. My wife wanted the caprices salad and they split it and gave us each a plate. It was just ok. My tomatoes were hard , still had fresh basil. I asked if he had Remy Martin and he did so I ordered it neat. It came back with a heated glass. Wow I haven't had it that way in a long time such nice customer service here. Each dish we had they cleared away the silverware to. Plus cleaned the table of crumbs. SO nice. I got the seafood pasta and wow. Lots of seafood. Big chunks of fish. All different kinds. Not over cooked and nice and cheesy. I loved it. It came with a huge basil plant on top . The wife got the sea bass and it was great tasting but kind of a small piece. Plus they put horseradish in the mashed potatoes which my wife didn't like. I didn't taste it at all but she did. The owner came back and told us the desserts. We got the carrot cake and it was really good. In house of course. We had such a nice time eating here at Moxie's. It wasn't cheap but quality isn't. Big thing with all the specials , you don't know all the prices either. With tip it was around $180. We will probably be back sometime soon .

    My half of out crab cakes

    With a name like Moxie, I was immediately intrigued. We are so glad we finally tried this special place. Remember they are only open for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is not a large restaurant so reservations are recommended. I called a few days prior to our desired date and time and left a voicemail message. I soon received confirmation from Adam. They have a small menu, but you have to listen carefully to all their daily specials. We shared crab cakes and Brussels sprouts salad. Both were quite tasty. The crab cakes were not overly flavored, but this allowed them to pair nicely with the trio of sauces. The salad was unusual. Made with the outer leaves of Brussels sprouts. We were both glad we tried it. My wife had the veal scallopini and I had veal piccata. Both entrees were very good with mashed potatoes and vegetables. We each had a glass of Argentinian Malbec which paired nicely with our meals. For desert we shared pecan cheesecake. This was delicious. This is a wonderful and friendly restaurant. A great place for a special occasion. Anything from holidays to birthdays or just making it to the weekend.

    We weee in the mood for an old school restaurant with a dark interior and wonderful food for my wife's birthday. She hadn't been to Moxie for over 20 years, but our expectations weee exceeded! Great service, terrific food and wine. And not unreasonably priced for the quality you get.

    Inside

    Moxie has been on my radar for a while now, especially with how highly it's regarded by Sacramentans--particularly the older generation, it seems. Since it's within walking distance, I finally decided it was time to make a reservation. I'd heard it can get especially busy this time of year with graduations, so I called more than a month in advance. While they typically only take reservations two weeks out, they were happy to put my name down. When we arrived, the interior was just as charming as the photos I'd seen. A true hole-in-the-wall opens up into an intimate, warm, and dimly lit space. It feels like being transported to another era, though I can't quite articulate which one. We brought a bottle of wine, which was promptly corked, and the drinks started flowing. As others have mentioned, the owner personally comes to your table to check in and share the specials. I can understand why some people might find that style of ordering a bit jarring, but I found it charming and unique. We started with the grilled portobello mushrooms, which was a bit lackluster in truth. For my entrée, I went with one of the specials the owner mentioned--a Macadamia-Crusted Swordfish with Lobster Ravioli. My guest had the Spinach Ravioli as it was the only vegetarian option. Having never had swordfish before, I was amazed. It was meaty yet tender, with a perfectly seared crust and topped with a tomato-herb mixture and I believe a bit of chèvre, which all paired beautifully. The lobster ravioli was incredible--fresh, rich, and succulent. Everything on the plate worked together effortlessly. It was a standout dish. I tried the spinach ravioli as well, and it was also perfectly executed. We finished with a crème brûlée, our first time having one, and again, the bar was set high. It was creamy, delicious, and not overly sweet. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the owner kindly brought out a complimentary dessert: what I believe was a European-style hot drinking chocolate. It tasted like rich, melted dark chocolate--decadent and thoughtful. I can't deny that the bill was high, but the service is classic and attentive and the food speaks for itself. It absolutely felt worth it for a special occasion. I'd love to come back and sit further inside the restaurant next time--we were tucked in a cozy front corner near the door, which was intimate, but I'd love to be fully immersed in the inviting ambiance. Fantastic experience and an excellent choice for a celebration or if you just want to treat yourself. Go in with an open mind and try something off the specials menu. The owner is definitely a character as other reviewers have mentioned, but he's a genuinely nice guy and made it a memorable experience.

    Could not have picked a better place for a date night. First off - atmosphere is dark and romantic. Great vibes. The staff are super nice and chill, and the owner Adam is so nice and friendly and makes you feel like he is invested in your experience in a casual way. The food was incredible. Our appetizers were so good and the entrees too!

    My husband loves Moxie! He would go there once a month if he could. Unfortunately, we can't afford to eat out that frequently there. We always start with the crab cakes - they are delicious! We've tried most all of their proteins and have not been disappointed. It's fun. A little quirky. And delicious!

    Seared scallops and prawns
    Caitlin B.

    We decided to try Moxie for our anniversary after reading reviews, it was a great decision. The service was impeccable with all of our courses perfectly timed and needs taken care of before we had to ask. I ordered the seared scallop and prawn special, and wow. The scallops were perfectly cooked. They were soft and buttery. The mashed potatoes were decadent. My husband ordered the lamb loin. Lamb isn't the first thing I would order, but honestly I didn't know which dish I liked better! The lamb loin was so tender, breaking apart in your mouth. We have definitely found a new date spot in Sacramento. Highly recommend!

    Crab cake special
    Sophie H.

    Everything here is a 10/10. I mean it !! This was my first time going for my 5 year anniversary and I've got to say it's exceeded my expectations. The owner and our server was so attentive and thoughtful. Even opened our door for us on the way out and told us to watch our step like SO SWEET. I'm definitely coming back for sure and I'd recommend it to couples especially. Very romantic setting. Huge fan of their vintage feel, decor, and dim lit lighting. I've never had customer service like this before. For a second, it made me feel like I'm in some lowkey restaurant in the middle of Italy (which I've been to before.. nothing like this).

    Caprese salad
    Elena B.

    It's been around for quite some time and you can always count on excellent service and an excellent meal. The vibe gives you New York Italian mood lighting. The menu itself that's posted online..I don't think has changed for years so when you see it don't get disappointed because where they wow you is all the specials. Fish,Steak, Lamb you name it they have it as a special and the presentation is outstanding.

    Half eaten plate of short ribs (must have)
    Corey W.

    Everything I've read in prior reviews all ring true. I called and left a message and when the owner called me back for our reservation, I asked if they can accommodate gluten free since my wife is allergic to gluten. He said 90% of the menu can be made gluten free. Knowing what I know now, request ahead of time if you want a specific item to me made gf. Next time, we're going to request to have gf crab cakes since they could t be made gf when we were there. While he said they could accommodate for gf, not a lot could have been made gf on the spot. They did have a whole lot of gf options though so we were fine. The host was extremely friendly and really made us feel welcome. Having said that, he does run through the specials at an alarming rate, making you forget what he said almost instantly. The food: crab cakes were incredible. The short ribs were far and away the greatest thing I had here, maybe the greatest thing I've eaten in the last year. The caprese was delicious. My ribeye was delicious and cooked absolutely perfectly. It could have used a little more flavor, but it was very good. My wife's prawns and scallops were phenomenal. The food was outstanding. It was definitely dark but it made for a nice romantic evening. The music was nice too. We will definitely return and try to record the specials next time.

This hidden gem offers an experience that's unlike anything else in the city. The setup is simple but charming: you literally walk up to a window and order your wine.

The Wine Window is affordable, laid-back, and surprisingly quaint. It's the kind of place where the ambiance, the people, and the energy make it feel more like an experience within an experience--not just a drink stop. I had the chance to chat with John, the owner, who shared a bit of the backstory. He previously owned a full wine room nearby, but when the pandemic hit, he had to pivot. Instead of calling it quits, he leaned into a smaller, more intimate concept inspired by wine windows in Europe. Honestly, I think the scale makes it even better. The outdoor patio is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine while people-watching on L Street, and yes, there's even a restroom available (a rare but very appreciated amenity for this type of setup). If you find yourself downtown, do yourself a favor--swing by The Wine Window, have a chat with John, and enjoy a unique Sacramento experience.

    I actually loved this place. It was my first time visiting the other day. We went for my friends…read moregraduation and they graciously sat our large party of eight together. We really appreciated the fact they sat us together. I ordered a few oysters and oh my goodness were they delicious! Absolutely divine. I loved the brine around the oyster such a delicious treat. I highly recommend them. I also had a chambong which was easier to throw back than I expected. I throughly enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this establishment for a girls night. I feel like it totally has that vibe. The happy hour has phenomenal deals and goes until 6:00 pm! Definitely will be back!

    Five of us had reservations for 7pm on Saturday night. Admittedly, the service started out rough as…read morethey were understaffed and no one at the hostess desk. My mother-in-law went to find a staff person and they pointed us to a table with a reserved sign. It took awhile before our table was acknowledged, but we did eventually receive menus and have our drink orders taken. This certainly isn't a place to eat when you're in a hurry. Again, there was a lag between our drinks being ordered and coming out to the table. The cocktails themselves were very enjoyable and well crafted. The drinks and some appetizers held us over until dinner came out. Overall, the food turned out to be worth the wait! That was a pleasant surprise after the service started out so roughly. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and that was enough to bring this dinner up from a 3 to a 4 star experience! I really hope they're able to hire in more staff because they serve some great food and beverages.

    Oh my! Where to start. This was a wonderful meal. It is expensive, but what an amazing meal. We…read morestarted with cocktails. My wife had "it must be Summer. This is like a special French 75. I loved my Paloma. We had the four coarse tasting. For antipasti she had panzanella. I loved the smoked corn vellutata. This was a cool smokey corn soup. Very refreshing on a warm evening. For pasta she had bucatini ala Traponese. I really enjoyed agnolotti. It was wonderfully light but quite flavorful. For entrees she loved scallops. The pork loin was great for me. She loved her desert of ciambella while I savored bomboloni. The staff assisted us perfectly with helpful suggestions and prompt attention. The only minor concern was excess noise on the patio. We're getting older so for us the loud fan and a few loud other diners were a slight inconvenience, but overall our experience at Allora was superb. Thank you.

    My partner and I celebrated our one year anniversary here and had a fabulous time. Our server was…read moreamazing, the service was impeccable and the food lived up to the expectations. We got the three course option: antipasti, an entree and dessert. I picked the porchetta tonnato ( pork belly salad) for the antipasti, scallop for entree and ciambella for dessert. They also brought out palate cleansers and complimentary prosecco for our anniversary which was so appreciated. The scallop was the most tender scallop I've ever tasted, it just melts in your mouth and perfectly seared. The ciambella has limocrllo macaropone, so soft and not overly sweet on a layer of olive oil cake. Reservations are a must. I booked a week before hand and there were limited availability. I would definitely come back for a special occasion! The parking lot is TINY but there are plenty of street parking.
