Places 2 Go…Things To See, Hear and Wear.
When I was on the highway on my way over there, I kept thinking – ’I know what Moxies is about – I’ve been to the East end location – its great but its not spectacular.’
Well – I take it back. This place was IMPRESSIVE. WOW. It was soooo sexy.
There are two sides. A cool blue theme on the right side – quiet and sleek, and the red theme room on the left side – the louder more firey side with a HUGE bar. Seriously the bar is like 10 stories high. It’s VERY sexy. All the characteristics of the other large moxies – but escalated.
Here’s what we ordered – it was absolutely delicious, I recommend it:
Ahi tuna crisps: sushi-grade ahi tuna seared rare in a sesame-dijon crust, presented on a ginger shiitake salad with crispy wontons and lemon aioli.
Avocado spring rolls: diced fresh avocado, sundried tomatoes and lime juice rolled in a crispy pastry, served with sweet chili sauce.
Skillet of garlic mushrooms (vegetarian): delicately sauteed with fresh garlic, lemon, pepper and butter.
Tandoori wild salmon salad: warm tandoori marinated wild salmon filet perched on a bed of mixed greens, tossed with mango, onions, sunflower seeds, water chestnuts and a mango and sweet chili dressing, served with melted brie on naan bread.
Shanghai noodles: your choice of chicken or prawns sautéed in a ginger-garlic sauce with shiitake mushrooms, shanghai noodles, baby bok choy and julienne vegetables; intensify the spice, tell us how spicy you want it: mild, medium or hot.

I completly agree. The food was actually pretty good. The service was ok, and the waitress’ were hot. It all added up to a good experience.
One downside is that their bartender staff know very little about making drinks. We asked them if they had Creme De Menth for a certain shot we wanted, the bartender said she didn’t have it. Then from across the room my buddy spotted it and had to show the bartender what it was…..embarrasing.
But other than that, good experience.
