[[HIGHLIGHT]]Moxie Steak House is a modern steak house in a beautiful, bright space, semi-open kitchen serving high-quality cuts of beef, other proteins with creative sides including vegetarian options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All items offered à la carte so you pick your protein with options of sides and vegetables. This visit ordered: STARTER: - 4 stars :: Parker House Rolls with a mango compound butter - delicious but the rolls could've been a tad softer and kept warm vs sitting at the kitchen pass as they're ordered. PROTEINS - 3.75 stars :: Filet Mignon - friend said it was like butter and delicious though it was delivered medium vs medium rare :: Duroc Pork Chop - grilled, thick cut. Unfortunately, as soon as it was brought to the table I could tell it would be dry. I didn't see any marbling nor was it juicy...Even with an added demi glace ($5) on the side didn't help much. Next time I'll request it rare with some pink. SIDES - 5 stars :: Loaded potato - can't go wrong and done nicely - fluffy, buttery with bacon bits :: Duck confit Yukon with garlic cloves - simple yet delicious! Potatoes tender but didn't have any crisp I was expecting. :: Grilled Zucchini with halloumi and sweet relish - yummy as you get char, salty from the halloumi cheese, and then a tangy sweet relish DESSERT :: Noted as Strawberry Meringue Tart - essentially a pavlova with freshly sliced strawberries with an amaretto creme anglaise - great flavors but gets a bit chewy and hard to eat...still devoured :) Other dessert option: soft serve ice cream with a pizzelle. Our server, Kara was friendly, professional, efficient and made for a wonderful dining experience. Overall, food good but possibly an off night on the doneness of the meats. Highly recommend a visit. Lot parking with the Alameda Marketplace and to the left as you cross the Park Street Bridge. Weekend brunch offered. Outdoor seating available Price per person inc t/t and non-alcoholic drinks: $100 read more

I have been hearing so many positive things about Moxie and I finally got a chance to go to their Happy Hour. It was about 3pm on a weekday and the bar was full so we sat at the community table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice ( music and other noises just loud enough to give privacy at that community table).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I thought the nice cloth napkins for our drinks were a nice touch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the Marinated Olives and Loaded Crispy Potato Wedges (meatballs sold out {enter sad face})along with a variety of drinks. I highly recommend the Passionfruit margaritas! I can't wait to go back! read more

We just about walked past Moxie. We met Kat the bartender. This was around 2PM (14H AMAZING!!! We'll be back for sure! Love the place... we're more lighter appies/snacks Day drinkers... so go hit up Happy Hour! read more

Service was exceptional. Food was delicious and interior/presentation of plates was well done. If you can afford an expensive steak, this place is highly recommended! Filet mignon was tender and I savored every bite! I would like to return as soon as possible :) read more

I was sad to see Angela's go, and hadn't taken the step to go to what was in its place. Finally took that step and will say that I was pleasantly surprised by Moxie's. Service and Staff: - All of the staff members were very nice Food and Drinks: - Poached eggs on top of grilled sourdough, asparagus and lemony hollandaise: yes, this is the full name of the dish (they don't have set names). This dish was delicious! I was hesitant about the asparagus at first due to the difference in textures across the meal, but it blended in nicely. The flavors were good. Comes with two poached eggs and a good amount of smoked salmon. - Steak & Eggs: little but on the smaller side in regards to the steak skewers. The potato doughnuts are delicious (especially with the romesco sauce). Miscellaneous: - Parking available via a shared parking lot with the marketplace (as well as street parking) - If you have room, there are a few dessert options. They also have a donut cart - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good for small and large groups[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor and outdoor seating available[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time visiting this restaurant and food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress, Crissie was so personable, she had great recommendations and she was very attentive without disturbing us too often.

Been wating to try Moxie for a while. Its a smallish restaurant so reservations can be hard to get. Party of 4 on a Sat night. They texted us 20 minutes before our reservation time to tell us our table was ready. Nice touch. Plenty of parking in the shared lot behind the restaturant. Arrived 5 mins early and our table was ready. 3 of us ordered the restaurant week prix fixe special of a caesar salad, steak and fries and soft service ice cream. The other ordered the 14 oz ribeye nad brussel sprouts. The caesar was very good and elevated with 2 anchovies on top. The french onion was quite strong so I watered it down a llittle and it was fine. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and the brussel sprouts were tasty. Unfortunately the steak special was a little too salty and was tought he cut and chew. I would have preferred paying more and getting a better steak. The ice cream came in a big bowl with a chocolate cap. Yum! Service was great - very friendly and checked on us to make sure everything was OK. Overall a good experience but didn't knock our socks off. read more

Brought my husband for his birthday and we really enjoyed ourselves! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy, moody vibes, with delicious food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was really personable and attentive too! We ordered: - 8oz Bavette - Brussel Sprouts with Spicy Orange Gochujang Sauce - Classic Mash - Mac & Cheese w/ Gorgonzola - Tableside Caesar Salad - Dungeness Crab cake with a Fennel Lemon Bibb Salad - 2 cocktails My husband loved the Bavette. The mash was *chef's kiss* (buttery goodness). I enjoyed the mac & cheese, but do not get it with gorgonzola unless you LOVE gorgonzola. Everything else was good too. My only gripe was the portion/sizing of the crab cake (for the cost and size, I think you should get at least two). I don't live in Alameda, but would go back if in the area again. read more

Moxie Steak House - Salmon cake and salad! Very yummy. And perfect if you do not want a heavy dinner. - Steakhouses Near Me - Alameda, California

Came here on an early Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy. We were seated promptly (2 people) [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is on the darker side, but we didn't mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For appetizers we had: Mashed potatoes - small portion, but perfect for two people or one person if you are really hungry. We liked it. Brussel sprouts - cooked well, but we did not like the citrus taste Caesar salad - we ordered the small Portion and it came with anchovies, which I loved. I don't like a lot of dressing on my salad, so I would ask for less dressing if you are the same Entrees: I had the prime rib which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. It wasn't bad, but Nothing life changing. For the price: I probably wouldn't order it again. Much rathe pay for the experience at a place like house of prime rib. My partner had the rib eye: medium rare, cooked perfectly so no complaints. Everything is made to share so be prepared to pay for everything extra including all of the sauces like horseradish and Chimichurri. They were about $4 each. read more

After slightly a year or so in their initial operations, I finally was able to give them a whirl. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a steakhouse but a modern one, not those old school ones with dark wood all around and black and white photos. It is dark in there (at night) but it is pretty stylish with urban flair[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. When I first heard a steakhouse was opening in Alameda, I was a bit skeptical. But now that I've seen it first hand, I gotta say I liked it...a lot even. Their menu is strictly a la carte, which is common for steakhouses. Everything has to be ordered individually. Soup, salad, starch or veggies to go with steak, all have to be ordered separately. I found getting 2 sides is very sharable for 2 diners. Their beef sourcing is also very modern. Instead of using basic USDA graded/fed meat, they'll use smaller ranches/farms right here in California. They may even feature 2 different farms, so you may even get an education on top of a full and happy belly. I'm actually leaning into this type of beef eating as it is more wholesome and sustainable. And since I have cut my beef consumption by a lot these days, I might as well eat more with choice and deliberation versus just what our government pushes on us. Templeton Rye on the rocks ($12/5*) Decent pour and loved how they carried this brand of bourbon. This is naturally aromatic and spicy with sweet fruit esters and a bold cinnamon tinge. So I often don't want to mask it with vermouth or cherries, just a little ice to make the spirit bloom. And that price, Iets just say it can turn me into a reg. Asparagus and Roast Garlic Soup ($10/5*) This was a soup special the night I went. Verbally announced. Perfect fine dining cream soup, silky texture and good asparagus flavor. And they garnish it with thick and chewy hits of lardons (OG bacon), small but garlic-y croutons and maybe some creme fraiche. Equally pleasing for the eye as well as for the palate. Abatti Farms Bavette Steak ($48/5*) Sure they've got filet, strip and ribeyes here, but I'm always looking for more not-so-conventional steak cuts like flat iron, flank, hanger or this, which is also called 'flap meat', But the french bavette just sounds so much more suave. Lol. This flap meat steak is pan seared very aggressively that a thick dark brown crust is achieved. Well salted that biting into the crust with the juicy beefy center was beef encapsulated. I heard angels sing in harmony in my head, as I closed my eyes to let the euphoric wave course through my senses. You can get sauces to try (extra charge) but for my first out, I enjoyed the steak just fine without any extraneous saucing. I had never heard of Abatti Farms but after looking it up, they are a small sustainable farm from the Imperial Valley in Socal that raises Wagyu breeds, so American wagyu. Definitely not as fatty as Japanese raised wagyu but still quality inherent fat within the bites. They also featured steaks from another farm that featured the Holstein breed for cattle. I totally want to take this educational ride with them. Classic Mash ($10/5*) Perfectly smooth and hearty texture. Didn't seem like Yukon golds as it wasn't yellowish, so just basic but enrichened with a good dose of butter and probably cream. Nothing to clash with the beef from being overly rich. Simple and solid. Wild Mushrooms ($10/4*) Good assortment of mushrooms all cut into smaller pieces. Intense mushroom flavor with a good hit of fresh thyme. They do more of a dry sauté, almost seems roasted so made it more intense, almost a tad crisp. Most other mushroom preps are more wet and saucy. But this paired with the intense beef, creamy potatoes and sips of their Rhone selection was just sublime. Cognac and Coffee ($13/4.5*) I was too full for dessert so I asked the bartender to make me one I could just sip on. I said I was kinda in the mood for an Irish Coffee type of drink but said you can do your thing. We settled on a variant by using Cognac, Martell I think they used. Just a touch of real soft cream made for a nice aromatic and slow sipper. Maybe next time I'll request a drop of Grand Marnier or some other liqueur to add another layer of flavor. But great finish to an epic winters meal. Regular status here I come. read more

Party of four on a Sunday night for a birthday dinner. Can you see Moxie on Instagram reels and decided to give it a try for a special occasions dinner. We made a reservation at least a month in advance, and that went well. We were seated probably once we arrive and the hostess was friendly and fast. The table that we were sat at was a perfect size for the five of us. It was comfortable and clean. The bartender was our server. I forgot to get his name. He was wonderful though he had lots of great recommendations. We started with cocktails that were all delicious. They gave us complementary housemaid chips that were actually really good too. For our main courses, we ordered three of the special Wagyu steaks a chicken pot pie and I myself ordered three appetizers to create a meal. Everything tasted great, cooked to perfection, and our only complaint was the sides were a little small. They were barely shareable. The facilities are extremely clean, so that makes me super happy as I like a very neat and tidy and cleanly restaurant to dine at. I would go back, but I don't think anything stood out as I need to go back to eat that unfortunately. The service was extremely great and that actually makes up for the things that were a little lacking. read more

I love steakhouses bc they typically have lots of vegetarian options with sides and small plates. Moxie's menu did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space felt warm and gives off an intimate vibe which makes this an ideal spot for a date or dinner with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went last minute on a Saturday so thankful to have scored a last minute reservation. As expected it was busy so I def recommend making reservations in advance if you can. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated at the high top near the door by the window. I actually loved that spot b/c it made for great people watching.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server, Crissie was friendly, offered suggestions & checked on us often. I had the beet salad with oranges and goat cheese (so fresh and perfectly prepared), the mac and cheese with gorgonzola (YUM!!!) and tried some of my BF's potatoes - he ordered a steak and was very pleased with his selection. We also had a beautiful bottle of wine, soft serve ice cream for dessert and a decaf espresso martini to finish it all off. Excellent meal. Would def go back. read more

I've been here a few times for brunch and dinner and my experiences have been pretty great. They have a small but well-curated brunch menu, which also includes a donut cart with fancy artisanal donuts. For dinner they offer nice cuts of beef at a variety of price points, delicious sides and cocktails. Service is courteous, attentive, and friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is lovely due to the moody lighting and mid-century modern art deco decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a perfect date night spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My husband and I came here on a Sunday evening with reservations at 5:45pm. The restaurant was surprisingly small but got pretty busy by the time we were done with our meal. Our server was really nice and had good suggestions on menu items. We ordered the tomahawk steak to share along with broccolini, mushroom skewers, crispy Yukon potatoes with caviar, beef tallow fries and mashed potatoes. The tomahawk with chimichurri sauce was great. It was cooked rare/medium rare, which is just how we like our steaks. The appetizers/sides were all tasty, but I expected the portions to be a bit bigger for the price. Our favorite appetizer was the crispy Yukon potatoes. The sauce with the caviar was really good. I would definitely order the tomahawk again. Just note that it takes 40 minutes to prepare, so we did have to wait a while before it came out. Since the place was on the smaller side, the tables were pretty close to each other. That didn't bother us though. Our neighbors were nice. I'd be back again and probably order less appetizers/sides and just go for the tomahawk. 4 stars because of the prices/sizes of the appetizers/sides. read more

Disappointing Food Quality for the Price Point I visited this establishment after seeing a recommendation on local social media (The Alameda Pulse). Unfortunately, the culinary experience did not align with the premium price point--our bill totaled $160 (before tip) for two entrées, two sides, and two beverages. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the establishment was impeccably clean and the service was genuinely excellent, the food fell short.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My $48 filet mignon arrived overcooked and charred, and the $14 martini lacked flavor, though the side of mashed potatoes was well-prepared. My father's lamb chops ($47) were overly greasy, though his baked potato was executed well, and his cocktail was unremarkable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ultimately, while the ambiance and hospitality are there, the execution of the kitchen does not justify the high menu prices for the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I likely will not return. read more

Moxie is a small family owned business on the popular Park Ave strips of Alameda. It's cozy and perfect for an intimate dinner, although, it can be hard to hear at times since you are closer to other patrons. The food and wait staff are excellent. Waitress was friendly and responsive and the food was great! We started off with duck crostini that were just perfect. The meat was smoked and the toast just the right texture and then a fig(?) jam on top to finish it off. I couldn't get enough of the beet and strawberry salad. It was fresh and colorful, with some crunchy caramelized pecans and goat cheese. The wedge salad was loaded and met the craving of a good wedge. We shared a filet minion that was served with an herbed butter. Each bite was tender and buttery and rich. We also ordered the chive fritters which were a perfect addition to the meal, crunchy outside and tender inside. Lastly, we splurged with an ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce and toasted almonds. So good. What a meal! We're eager to come back and try the tomahawk steak. read more

Adding to my existing reviews, because returning regularly has given me a window into the deep thought processes, warmth and collaboration of the staff and servers, and attention to detail of those who make the food.

We were in the mood for steak and we found this place so we gave it a try. The food was mostly very good. A few of the sides were undercooked, the carrots were almost still raw. The crab cakes were very Mid. The oysters were phenomenal as was the ribeye and the pork entree. We ordered several sides and sauces and everything was good, flavorful. The check was a little high for the experience but overall it was a positive experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was cute and had a very cool vibe, the bar was super cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was a little standoffish tbh so that wasn't the best either. I'm not 100% sure we will go back, but it definitley wasn't a bad dinner. read more

1640 Park St Alameda, CA 94501 "Moxie" is a fine dining steak house in downtown Alameda. I came here on a warm Saturday to meet up with a fellow Yelper and old grade school friend for an early dinner. I made reservations for 5pm. I was greeted as I walked in, and we were seated in the small dining area in front of the bar. The tables were set in a very organized manner, as they prepared for dinner service. I asked the server if there were any specials. She mentioned a "Grilled Salmon w/ Mashed Potatoes" for $25. But then she quickly reminded me that I'm in a steak house! My friend and I skipped the salads. I ordered Gulf Shrimp w/ Cocktail Sauce. My friend ordered a mini Lobster Roll. My Gulf Shrimp were large, plump, and tasty. However, the cocktail sauce was thin and barely made a difference as a dip. Also, there's no bread or rolls served with our meal. Note: After you order, a person comes to your table and removes unnecessary utensils and glassware. Also, if you drop crumbs, someone will come sweep your table with a brush. For main course, I ordered Lamb Chops w/ a side of Beef Tallow Fries. OMG, those Lamb Chops were absolutely delicious! Rich flavor, juicy meat, tender and easy to cut with a knife. For me, the presentation was okay because the lamb chops were stacked and covered the plate. However, my friend ordered a 6-oz Holstein Filet Mignon, and it looked tiny on the large platter. The sides are shareable, so you're supposed to take a serving and put if on your plate. My Beef Tallow Fries didn't stay crispy very long. I think they should serve thick steak fries instead. After we finished our meal, a staff person came and asked us how we liked our meal. I told her the honest truth. The sauce for the Gulf Shrimp was weak. The Beef Tallow Fries were dry and not crispy, and not worth $10. So on the bill, the fries were comp'd and we got 50%-off on the Gulf Shrimp. Thank you! We received tiny cookies with the bill. Notes: - the AC works in this place, and it can get chilly. - make a reservation, this place only seats 26 people. - If you make a reservation and no-show, you get charged $35 - extra charge for steak sauce Someday, I'll return to try their Prime Rib read more

We had a lovely dinner with a group of six. The filet mignon and prime rib were cooked just right, and the sauces like the blue cheese butter and chimichurri truly enhanced the flavors. The sides were perfect for sharing, with the marinated king mushroom trumpet skewer and mac and cheese standing out as favorites. While the dessert menu was a bit underwhelming, with the sundae and gingerbread cake being just ok, everything else, including the service, was excellent! read more

I was in the neighborhood and saw a sign that read donuts from the parking lot. On this particular day I already had breakfast but it was stored in my memory bank. I usually frequent another donut shop, but it's on the other side of Santa Clara off of Webster street. I had gone into this place the next day and discovered it was a Fancy Steak house, but it had donuts. I had ordered a lemon curd blueberry donut and a Bloody Mary. The Bartender Cat was super friendly and the B M was the right spice. I basically enjoyed the Bloody Mary and took the donut to go. It was a little messy but the Donut tasted great. Bloody Mary had bits of celery in the drink which I later found out it was celery salt. I will definitely try out for lunch if I'm in the area again. read more

Came here for a father and daughter dinner and the experience was just okay. I got the ribeye and my daughter had the filet mignon. She enjoyed hers but mine was nothing special and I didn't feel great afterward. Service was mixed. The waitress did recommend a less fatty cut for my daughter, which I appreciated. But she barely checked in on us most of the meal. Later on I started a conversation and asked if she used to work at another restaurant. She said yes and after that she opened up more. She was nice, just not very attentive. I asked for Japanese whisky and she wasn't familiar, so I ordered the Old Fashioned. It was fine. The Pinot Noir I got after was pretty bad. The biggest issue was the gnats. It was dark so you don't notice at first, but once I saw one I realized there were more. I even saw other guests swatting them too. For a place that's supposed to feel nicer, that's not something you expect. The next day my stomach wasn't right and it made me think. The broccolini the fries and the donuts were the best part of the night. For spending over $270 dollars I expected a cleaner environment better drinks and more attentive service. Not terrible but not a place I'm in a hurry to return to. read more

Small intimate steak house located on Park Street. Seats around 26 for dinner? Free parking lot in the back. Excellent service and the restaurant is not pretentious allowing you to share steaks which can be huge or the Tomahawk from New Zealand. I don't know about you but I can't devour a whole 14 ounce ribeye like I did when younger, share it - yeah.... Since we went as a group, we ordered the large Tomahawk, a Ribeye, Lamb-chops, and the fish of the day. All were properly prepared as requested and enough for the nine of us. The sides are a bit small and you'll need to order two-three per couple. We liked the mushrooms and the zucchini squash. Sauces are also extra and we decided to go sauce less with just the meat and the chef's seasoning. Overall, glad to have a steakhouse on Park Street. read more

We were sincerely looking forward to having brunch at our favorite steak house here in Alameda...Unfortunately the experience was not good. We were asked to sit in the bar area, so we did. The bartender I guess was our server as well...because of this, we were largely ignored. I ordered the avacado toast. After the plates were delivered the bartender asked if everything was ok as he was headed to next table to take their drink orders. I discovered as I was eating was that the poached eggs were way over cooked and sadly that took away the cohesiveness of the dish. When the bartender took our plates, I noted the eggs being overcooked. I was told "I checked on you and you didn't say anything"...I hadn't had a chance at that point to say anything as I was just beginning my breakfast. I was not able to get his attention after that. His continued commentary to me was that I should have. As he was taking our plates to the kitchen, he showed my plate to the server and got a big laugh out of her. I tried one more time to mend the rift I was treated horribly and publically humiliated by the man. read more

Came for brunch on a Sunday and it was nice and quiet. Menu is a bit limited but the banana flambeed pancakes and the steak and eggs were quite tasty.

Solid 4 out of 5. With just a few tweaks, Moxie has the potential to become a true 5-star steakhouse. This was my second visit, and a big improvement from the first. I'm glad I gave it another shot. That said, Moxie sets a very high bar for itself. Prices are on par with the best steakhouses in Chicago or NYC, not small-town Alameda, so that's the lens I'm using to evaluate the experience. Let's start with the service and ambiance. Both were excellent. The staff was warm, attentive, and professional from the moment we walked in. Everything from seating to ordering to timing was on point. I felt genuinely welcome, and that really elevated the night. We ordered one appetizer to share, two sides, and two Brandt Farms ribeye steaks. One thing I loved: they offer the same cut of steak from different farms, each with its own flavor profile. That's a great touch and not something you see often. For sides, we picked the chile lime sweet potatoes and grilled asparagus. Both were great choices and more than enough food for two people. The steaks themselves were good, but not great. Both ribeyes were cooked unevenly. One side was closer to well done, the other side more medium rare. Not a deal-breaker, but noticeable, and something that really shouldn't happen at this level. The flavor was a bit underwhelming. It needed more salt, and mine had a nice crust on just one side and not the other. Still, I enjoyed experimenting with the sauces they offer. Overall, I think the place is on the right track. The experience was strong enough that I'll be back one more time to see if they've dialed things in. Moxie has the potential to be a standout steakhouse. It just needs a bit more consistency. read more

We were looking for a new place to go and my buddy found out about this place so we had to come try it out. We made a reservation just to be sure we could get in since it was our first time going there. When we arrived we were greeted right away by the hostess/waitress who sat us down right away. It wasn't that busy there so that was good. They don't have a lot of appetizers to order which was fine with us. They give you chips that are made in house and those chips are delicious, you can get full off them alone. We ordered a few salads to share between us since they were pretty big for one person. We ordered the Cesar and the Wedge salad. We ordered a bottle of Red Wine Grenache and some other cocktails. The wine tasted nice and the cocktails were also tasty. Both of those salads tasted great. The wedge salad had fresh crispy bacon which tasted great. Are entrees were the hangar steak, prime rib (special of the day), pork chop, lamb chops, and the ribeye steak. All of my friends said there steaks, prime rib, and lamb chops tasted great and was cooked perfectly. The prime rib came with two sides (mash potatoes & snap peas) which both tasted good. The mash potatoes were light, and tasty and the snap peas had some great flavor to it. My pork chop was okay, nothing special about it, a little small but it was cooked perfect. We ordered some sides to go with the meal, mac n cheese, asparagus, mash potatoes, and cauliflower. The mac n cheese was very cheesy which I like and the noodles were cooked perfect, mash potatoes like I said was very tasty, and my friends said the asparagus was really good too. We didn't order any desserts because we were too full. :).. The service was really good, I believe our waitress name was Chris or Chrissy. We will definitely be back again. read more

Their reservation system is awful. I made a reservation three days before the intended dine-in date, but wanted to cancel an hour after making the reservation. The reservation system they use, Tock, does not allow you to cancel or modify reservations once made. But upon looking it up, this seems to be something the restaurant chooses to allow or not allow. (For context, I'm not someone who's illiterate with tech, I grew up on in the boom of social media, so I know my way around a website or app) I've tried calling the restaurant during normal business hours, and the call goes straight to voicemail and in the voicemail message states to not leave a voicemail regarding reservations. In that case, where am I supposed to leave any sort of message regarding my request for cancellation? Truly too hard to be worth it, and seems awfully predatory to me. They will not be getting my business in the future and it looks like I'll be disputing the eventual $35 fee they charge for "no-shows or late cancellations" read more
