What People Are Saying About Moxie

The Scene
If it's possible to twist, heighten or sculpt an ingredient into an unnatural pose, Moxie will do it. But these flirtatious and showy plates aren't just eyecandy with no flavor substance to back them up. Frequented by upper-class Midtowners; expect to spend $100 for two including wine. This isn't a casual drop-in eatery. Also, service at Moxie can be erratic at times, and the regulars seem to be tended to more solicitously than the new faces.
The Food
Exotic specials and an eclectic array of infusions such as the boldly flavored Thai chicken pasta, redolent of curry and lemon grass, with tender strips of chicken; and the crab pot stickers with a sweet spicy sauce, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
What to Order
Rock shrimp quesadillas; the colorful and cheery cheesecake.
What to Skip
The meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

First time was this last news years eve. It was fabulous! 2nd time on my birthday in Jan. it was fabulous!! 3rd time just this last weekend I took out of town people it was fabulous!!! It is our new favorite place. excellent food and amount of food for the money. great atmosphere. the whole experience is more like entertainment then "just going out for dinner". The out of town people that I took absolutely loved it said it was the highlight of their trip to Sac. They've eaten all over the country and out of the country and said it was one of their best experiences! Some good friends of ours took their whole family there last night and couldn't say enough about it. My friend said the lamb was the very best she's ever had. I don't know whats going on with the couple of bad reviews I read below, when there are only a couple bad reviews among the great reviews, I have to think it's something wrong with reviewers!!!!

This was among the five best dining experiences I have had in 40 years of world travel. If you are near then you owe it to yourself to go and enjoy the evening. I have NEVER posted a review before and probably won't again. THIS WAS SPECIAL. If you like lamb you must have the tenderloin if on the special list.

I have ben to Moxie 4 times, and they have been among the top dining experiences of my life. My husband still favors Biba, but I think Moxie has great food, great character and atmosphere. We usually eat on the early side (5:30-6:30), so have never had a too-busy, overcrowded experience. One time they let us come in and have a glass of wine at 5pm because we had a show to go to, and they didn't open until 5:30. It was a wonderful touch. The photos on the walls add to the experience for anyone into photography.
