Fantastic food and drinks here. The breadcrumbed ribs. The salmon, truffle fries and cocktails were all absolutely spot on. I'll be eating here regularly. 10/10. Staff were all polite and amazing. Some might say the price is high for certain dishes but you get what you pay for. No complaints from me and the team 😎
The service was second to none, stellar in fact. My selection of the Miso Ramen unfortunately was much less than stellar. I found the noodles to have the consistency paste, they were quite tasteless except that the residual could only be described as unpleasant. Did not finish the meal. However, am open to visit again but definitely make another menu selection. On the plus side, dessert made up for it. Large portion and delicious.
Food was great, ambiance was cozy, food came quick. I did not appreciate the server's attitude, she was not rude, but was very dismissive and apathetic, we did not feel welcomed and the slightest request like mayo or anything similar was responded to with silence and blunt attitude.
We absolutely loved Moxies. Our server Sam was excellent in every respect; professional, kind and very friendly. We we had the baby back ribs, mash potato and seasonal vegetables which were delectable, compliments to the chef! My rosé sangria was perfection, tasty and thirst quenching, my new favourite beverage. Do your self a favour and visit Moxies, you wont be disappointed.
It was my 5 year anniversary. Food was so good and had champagne 🍾 yum
Loved our night out at Moxies! Food was on points everything tasted fresh! Great experience overall.
I have a great experience!! The food is delicious and bigger, the service was very friendly and attentive. It is now one of my favorite restaurants in downtown.☺️
The food is delicious. Being a vegetarian my experience was great. You can alter the some of the non vegetarian items into vegetarian. The staff is friendly. At the end we have tried the white chocolate brownie desert that you must try. Roasted Tomatoes & Whipped Feta, Beyond Meet Burger, Pasta, and White Chocolate Brownie
The food was crazy tasty, and I liked the fact that they close late (unlike other restaurants)
Very nice bar and good food
Awesome service Lauren
Very poor service
Lovely spot, fantastic atmosphere, food and service. Very nice selection of vegan and plant-based dishes - the best in the city! Delicious! Janessa and Lauren were amazing!
Janessa and Lauren were so incredible. Their service was exemplary. They checked in on us quite often and were super knowledgeable about the menu. They provided us with great recommendations.
The service was amazing, we had a little hiccup with one of our orders and the staff/mgmt went above and beyond to rectify the situation!!
Everything was perfect and the new dessert is just so delicious The manager and Triton were both very professional and nice This was our 10th anniversary dinner and we had two steak orders The top sirloin was to die for And the rib eye was good Both were cooked to order and we loved everything
The restaurant manger is hypocrisy and a liar. I am a Uber delivery guy, my wife help me to pick up order as there is no parking space, I have to parked alone road , manager said it is ok this time but she reported you on your back right away . Then she deny what she said, don t know how the food looks like, but I know there is a liar who s in charge of this restaurant. God knows what happened and what s true, dare you deny that to me face to face?
Very good restaurant. Music a little loud. Excellent food.
The service went above and beyond! I have severe allergies and they took the time to explain to me how they would prepare the food safely and e en bad the manager come and explain it to me. I felt super comfortable. On top of that the food was absolutely amazing!
Pretty good service and tasty food, but where they were outstanding was their care for allergies. Moxies clearly has great training in this area because the server was so thorough in asking questions and the kitchen was so accommodating and the whole process was great. They even had the manager walk it out and reconfirm details at the table. Anyone with severe food allergies should feel confident in choosing Moxies. I was blown away with it.
Food and service was excellent.
This place has it all, great ambiance , exquisitely prepared meals and the staff goes to all lengths to make sure you have a great time. Special thanks to M. Lord !
Very nice experience Kid-friendliness: Very suitable for children
Can t speak enough about this place. Lauren, our server was so pleasant and took great care of us. Thanks for great hospitality, good food and absolutely amazing happy hour deals!!! Thanks Lauren And moxies will be back super soon! PS: the receipt has a cute message from our conversation. Loved the personal touch :)
Grace was awesome. She made me feel right at home.
Great food! Great service!
Great experience, food and wine was delicious. Heather and Layla took great care of us!
Stopped in Moxie s downtown Halifax on two separate occasions while on our vacation to Nova Scotia. Both times we had fabulous service, food, and drinks. Heather was very helpful with some last minute ideas for our last day in town and Layla s attention to detail was greatly appreciated!
The staff is always pleasant and the food is very tasty.
Great cocktails and vegan options Vegetarian options: Lots of great vegan options. We had great veggie tacos and tofu wraps. Food : 5/5 |
Everything was amazing. Emma, thank you for the amazing service.
Brianna was an amazing server! I recently had a fantastic experience at Moxies and felt compelled to write a review. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff and seated promptly. The service was exceptional throughout my entire meal, with our server checking in regularly and ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, I highly recommend Moxies for anyone looking for a great dining experience. The service, food, and atmosphere were all top-notch and I will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Brianna from Moxies for a wonderful evening!
Great food and service definitely recommend.
Great nachos.. Bring two friends to finish them!
Was lunch and not busy. Ordered striploin steak , Medium, it came well done and was a VERY poor cut with so much fat and grizzle. Most ended up on the side of my plate. I told server when she came by to check , she said sorry and asked if I wanted another, I had a plane to catch and could not wait again that amount of time. Generally, something should be comped or discounted... nothing at all.. big lessons here to be learned. I wont be back when visiting EDIT - reached out as per below and have heard nothing back for 3 weeks....
Best chicken burger i ever had, our server was absolutely amazing! 10/10 would recommend
Great service and food. Did I mention their Tuna Poke Bowl?
Two mice ran past our table. We were eating at 7pm and not just one mouse but two of them scurried past our table... When we mentioned it to the waiter, he informed us that yes it was a problem they were having, and they were doing their best. Because we saw two of them (while the sun is out)... Id be pretty worried about how many more there are Wont be eating at this location again
Went last night with my friends, we had amazing service. GF precautions were phenomenal. Food was so damn good. Thank you for such a lovely experience!
A great place for a pre-event meal Downtown.
Delicious, delicious food. Better than the other Moxies in Halifax and Dartmouth.
Last minute, we showed up after an event with almost 20 people, Friday night and the hostess welcomed us with open arms! They accommodated our request, and Caleb R was the most charismatic, attentive server! Really great experience. Thanks again!
Good food a little $$$, service was fantastic but it was also noon so not overly busy.
I have eaten here before but did not have a reservation this evening for a busy pre juniors hockey game. The hostess told us to standby for any cancellations. A couple of groups came through after us but knew the hostess and amazingly got seated immediately. Not that it matters to them but me and mine will not be back.
Great atmosphere, nice and close to everything downtown.
Awesome food. Great service. Fair prices/ portion.
Stopped here for the World Cup finals, the manager told us they werent open for another half hour but he let us in anyway! We stayed for the whole game and our server Brie was great the nachos with chicken went well with the Argentina win
Had a blackened chicken burger that pretty darn fine! Would go again.
Every member of staff I met is so incredibly welcoming and kind! The venue itself is very cozy and in a nice location. Came here twice this week. Im a vegetarian and some restaurants get veggie options wrong, but both meals (beyond burger and tofu wraps) I got here were so well prepared and tasted great. Appetizers also have vegetarian options and taste just as good.
As we went for lunch, the place was not crowded, got a friendly service and the food was good too. I still want to try in the evening hours.
Great service at Moxies!
Great food. Even better service. Meryl was awesome. Best server ever!!
Awesome food. Atmosphere is amazing
Meryl was our server, she was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Our food came quickly and was, hot and delicious. We enjoyed our experience and if we lived local, would visit often. Thanks Meryl for making our Halifax experience a positive one to remember.
Went for dinner. Food was luke warm and what I had was a bit on the bland side. About 6 customers so the kitchen wasnt exactly slammed. Wife liked her food. Too expensive to give it another try.
Our server Merle was terrific and the food was great too, however I had called to make the reservation days earlier for a wheelchair accessible table, one that was not right by the door, as most restaurants tend to do. I was assured on the phone that I would be at a table further back and there were a couple of options they had so I wouldnt be at the door. I arrived and where did they put me? The table right by the door. The hostess didnt know what I was talking about when I tried to explain. I wasnt happy and didnt feel validated. Restaurants need to do better to make their whole establishment more accessible for all
Vegetarian options are tasteless and on top of it the staff is so rude that once you pay the bill they won t even serve you a glass of plain water. Had gone there for birthday celebration but they just ruined our mood.
Be ready to see grumpy faces & also not cared once you pay the bill.!! Even when just 2 tables were occupied, Getting a glass of water was impossible after a $220 bill plus tips. Terrible customer service..!! never visiting this place again!! waitress didn t deserve a penny tip
Food was not worth the price of 22 dollars for ramen, and I can get much better ramen for less. There was a bug in my cocktail as well and practically empty during a happy hour. Well there is a reason for that.
Good food and service. The staff make an effort to be efficient and pleasant.
worst dinner experience in Halifax ever 1) appentizers were already servered for 5mins, we did not get any cutlery 2) no one ever refilled our water 3) we had no napkin entire dinner even we asked for it multi times we only got chance to talk with our waitress 3 times: when we order drink, order food and get bills anyone who is reading this review, NEVER EVER GO TO DINNER AT THIS MOXIE
Update: I contacted the general manager and they were quick to provide a response and options to resolve the issue. Seated after a 15min wait, bartender took our drink order then asked if wed like to order food. We did, and I watched her enter our orders on the computer. Waitress came by with cutlery. 30 mins later waitress came back to say she was sorry but our order was missed because the bartender took the order instead of her. Not sure why she didnt realize when she brought our cutlery. We had to leave for an event, very disappointed we were there for an hour and didnt get food. Manager gave two 10 dollar gift cards which cant be used at the same time, also disappointing. Very poor staff communication.
So in love with this place.!
Good food , good service ,price is reasonable,,,just no any parking .
The food is great, but the service has been bad every time I ve gone there. The servers are frequently chatting with each other or they re flirting with male patrons instead of doing their job. Very frustrating and I m embarrassed whenever I m with a guest.
When I went there it wasnt so great I think its a hit and miss
Decent selection on the menu. Food was very good. Service was good. Nice dining room. There was a large, rambunctious table close to us so was a bit challenging to talk.
Its just good. Food always really bang on. Never a bad experience
Being a vegetarian the food served was amazing. We ordered nachos, tacos, veggie burger and platter. Everything was delicious and server was really helpful. Alongside with fabulous ambience.
Great place to go for food ant time of day. One of the later night places serving food. Excellent dessert menu, will be returning just for that. Amazing staff and quality of service.
Expensive, but not unexpectedly so. Service was amazing and super fast but the portions are kinda small. Such is the life at a fancy restaurant.
Excellent service, food & atmosphere , Im strongly recommend this restaurant
Great service, nice food, nice place
Had the Cajun chicken on a salad. More like heavely salted chicken .
great customer service, food was good and drink recommendations from the server were awesome
Come here often. Great cocktails. Decent food. Amazing bartenders who are friendly and accommodating. Great place to watch a game. Usually busy
It was fantastic! The food was very good with reasonable prices.
I have been to so many Moxies, but this was by far the most enjoyable experience we ve had. Our server Bri was so so sweet and fun. She made our night so memorable. Our food was amazing, the happy hour drinks were great. The manager stopped by to chat with us and we had some great conversations. It was a wonderful experiences and the service is phenomenal. We re only in Halifax for two more days and I hope to stop by once more before we leave. Thank you so much for an amazing time!
Love wine Wednesdays, we dined here May 31st, it was a nice evening and we sat outside. Our server Brie was awesome. I would suggest making Calamari into a bit smaller pieces as we have to use knife to cut then into smaller pieces. Will be back again soon.
Wonderful service and food.
I like the place but was a bit disappointed with the margherita being served in small regular glass....I was out for something fancy.
Food is good. Service is great and place is awesome! Kid-friendliness: Their foods is straight forward and kids would love it. Food : 4/5 |
A good place to go for dates or to hang out with your friends. Their drinks menu is really good. Food
Food is always good, but the staff was even better. Makes for a great experience
Great Seafood chowder.
Had a very disrespectful experience at this moxies today. The manager named, Tets (not sure if she gave us here correct name) assumed and decided not to serve us. We waited for our order for almost half hour and then when we asked why is it taking so long, our server told her her manager had asked to wrap up. When we asked for a reason, she couldn t answer and then we asked for manager, when the manager arrived she made up some excuses and when she realized she made a mistake, instead of apologizing she ignored her mistake and tried yo cover up. She later accepted her mistake and said she should ve not assumed. This is sad as the business owner lost a big client and just due to a manager incompetency.
It was my birthday today and manager ruined it, I spent more than $300. Had a very disrespectful experience at this moxies today. The manager named, Tets (not sure if she gave us here correct name) assumed and decided not to serve us. We waited for our order for almost half hour and then when we asked why is it taking so long, our server told that her manager had asked to wrap up. When we asked for a reason, server couldn t answer and then we asked for manager, when the manager arrived she didn t have any explanation, we asked that why she wasted our time no answer and it was almost the closing time so we couldn t go anywhere else. Totally unprofessional Manager I don t how she got that position totally she don t deserve that. And the worker who was doing a great job lost all the tip due this arrogant Manager.
I had been to this place several times before but yesterday was the worst experience I ever have. The manager named Teds was so rude and was unable to answer the reason for wrapping up our bill while we were waiting for our order from almost half an hour. Manager are meant to manage anything going around. Dont want to say but she really proved to be incompetent at her work. Never ever going back there and not even recommending anyone ever again. Thanks to the manager for ruining our night for no reason but based on her unexplained assumption.
Good atmosphere and a properly cooked steak! Second visit did not disappoint as well.
Nice time Vegetarian options: The vegan segment in the menu surprised me Food : 3/5 |
Our waitress was beyond accommodating and attentive. She even found a way to honor our request for maple syrup with salmon . The prices are on par with restaurants of this type and the small dessert portions made it easy to indulge. My only critique was that the restaurant lacked a tiny bit of personality. Kid-friendliness: A great kids menu and they were lenient on the age category which is a relief to picky eaters. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy floor transitions.
Really slow service for a quiet Monday evening Vegetarian options: Veggie burger Food : 3/5 |
Over all it was good experience there.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our waitress, Brianna was fantastic--kudos to her! The food was delicious. The volume of the music was a bit too loud for us to carry on a conversation with ease. We certainly didnt allow it to ruin our evening. We had tickets for an event and our waitress had us all fed and the bills settled in perfect time. We will definitely return again.
newyork steak is the best.
Superb discovery! The food is excellent and the meat is cooked to perfection. The service is great too.
Ive eaten here twice in recent months. Ive gotten steak both times, sidled by mashed potatoes and garden vegetables. I thought that the garlicification of the steak was a little much but I only say this because I didnt want to say that the short young server that looks like Mila Kunis, is why I would go back. Cheers Food
A great place to eat and hangout.our waitress was amazingly nice and attentive to our needs.
Our waitress was SO NICE!! The food was phenomenal, and youve got to try their Garlic Parmesan Truffle Fries!
Our server Bre was really nice. She made our dinning experience special. Her food suggestions were amazing. If you go there make sure you get Bre as your server :)
Oh this was a real treat! Loved every bite and I can for sure recommend the tenderloin steak and the key lime pie which were both divine. When you come to Halifax and you look for New Canadian Cuisine, this is definitely the place to go!
Staff members where friendly but was served stale chips and flat beer.
Great setting to meet with friends over a meal or drinks and a lot of great deals throughout the week. The service is always friendly and efficient! Best Moxies in Halifax!
The taste and service were good. In particular, the service spirit of the staff is excellent. I will eat nachos again next time^^
If I could leave zero stars I would. We arrived down at the location at 10:45 to be advised we could not be seated due to shortage of staff meanwhile there is plenty of room and we re instructed to return in about 10-15 mins. Do we not take names and numbers to call to come back? So if someone walks in in 10 mins before us getting back they could get the seat and is he at capacity. This location is always a disappointment take the time to go to Bayer s Lake. Much better service - disappointed I couldn t even get a chance to get to have food this evening because of their poor staff management and hostess. Will not return ever again, Bayer s lake will be the way to go!
Moxies staff go out of their way to provide great service to customers. Ive seen this in the great attention paid to allergy concerns and table requests. Dietary restrictions: Excellent respect is given to dietary restrictions and allergies.
I ve had a really good time and the food was great. Thanks a thousand times to the staff for making sure I got safely into my taxi as I was alone at night . I will come back !
A friend and I stopped by last night for a few drinks before heading to a birthday party. Always a great experience. Will be back.
The food was good and the wait staff was very friendly.
Famous for its incredible service. My friend Ziweis favorite restaurant in Halifax.
Great Service!
Very high scale. Good food (steak was delicious). Prices are a bit high but well worth the quality.
Too lazy staff too bad customer service will never viait again
Kaitlyn was our server. She s very impolite. Cursed out my wife
Food was very good. The service was great.
I and my wife had a great time at Moxies as we were celebrating our 4th Weeding anniversary thanks to the the manager Simon shout out to you
Nice and not too expensive
Tets made us feel like home she is very friendly, professional and very dedicated. I definitely come back to Moxies
Great service overall. Very welcoming.
Highly recommended delicious
Ordered a Steak Frites. I had to tell the Manager that the steak was stiff and had nerves and was not the greatest. I was offered a meal replacement which I appreciated and refused. Maybe steak is not their thing, will give it another try next time Im in town with something else off the menu.
Friendly staff, good food. Well located, close to the conference centre.
The food and drinks were amazing. We were there about 2 weeks ago. Visiting the area
Food was nice, but it was a long wait for it and even longer wait for drinks. Our group left happy and full though!
Service from start to finish 5 star Food from start to finish 5 star The manager was very helpful with a group event of 18. Was easy to deal with and helpful with every aspect! We will be back! Go and try this place with a group it won t disappoint!!
great food , and great atmosphere.
The nachos might be one of the best around. Great vibes in this location!
Nice place, very clean , food is very good . Waitress is very Nice person,
Our server Meryl was great! Fast friendly & quick to adjust to our specific needs, the food was excellent as was the atmosphere.
Great meal and great service by Emma
Poor service. Rude waiters and waitresses. Food was good.
I was told the Moxies Grill at this location offers great foods so I gave it a try on Canada day. The menu didnt really satisfy me, items were high carb, over priced and the only seafood option that caught my eyes was not available. The steak was supposed to be medium rare but it was medium. The taste was more of a stew than a steak we traditionally know. Nowadays its hard to find a steak that has nothing but a high quality meat and nothing else.The fries and mash potato were amazing though. I asked for the hottest sauce and I got a little bit of spice in a ketchup but I had a great experience with the staffs and their great customer services. Not sure if I revisit again, but if I do I wont go for the steak menu.
Thanks to the manager Ms.Tets for awesome food and desserts. Ten Star
Very unprofessional service! We sat there for about 15mins and restaurant had probably 2 tables with people on it. Were even asked water or drinks. Waiters would pass by make eye contact and just walk by even when trying to ask them to please come to take our order. If I could I would give them a zero.
Delicious dinner. Lovely setting and patio.
The most expensive dinner ever. Delicious food. My kid had Burger with bacon and fries and ice cream for dessert. I had salt and pepper wings, fries and key lime pie for dessert. Absolutely delicious. Cost us 89dollars includes a 15% tip. Kid-friendliness: Nice and polite hostesses. Order whatever you want on the menu. Wheelchair accessibility: Flat against curb. No stairs.
Great service Great food and amazing and understandable when it came to my peanut allergy!!! And very aware Definitely will be going back
Good food, good service, and the washrooms were very clean. I dont normally mention that last one, but it stood out :P Kid-friendliness: They give out activity booklets and crayons for kids
Excellent food and service
Very good environment, salad is great, however, the steak is not good as our expectation.
Didnt have a great experience last night, but the General Manager got in touch with me and more than rectified the situation. Thank you so much, Becca, we will definitely be back!
We had to call the waiter, he didnt come himself, at the end when we asked for a doggy bag, the waiter placed the box in front of us and let us do it, instead of doing it himself, moreover, the service was long...
Really bad food. Pasta was dry and the wings were absolutely horrible. Terrible waitresses. Completely ignored us all the time. Didn t even get us water. Had to beg them to send the bill. Never going there again.
High quality and delicious food but the service is not good. Although the waiters are polite when they talk to you, you will find that they sometimes ignore you even when they clearly see you asking for their attention. They may even stall and continue doing random chats and attend to you only when they are finished. I wanted to lower my tip because of this but I changed my mind later on.
They make the best calamari I have ever had.
Great place to eat in Halifax
I had the fully loaded Cheeseburger. It was very tasty and the service was outstanding.
Delicious food. We got Tofu Lettuce wraps and a big thing of nachos. All quite tasty. A little more pricey than average, but good!
Nice place in Downton Halifax, good Food, moderate prices..
Great food and the service was really good for being so packed. Danielle was our server and she made sure we had everything. Cashew chicken lettuce wraps were really delicious. Vegetarian options: They have extensive végétarien and vegan options including beyond meat burgers!
Emma was fantastic!
Great manager running this place, very friendly staff, made you feel at ease. Vegetarian options: Great choice. Food : 5/5 |
Good food a bit pricey.
Food was very good, the restaurant is layed-out very well, and our server was great. Well be back!
The food is always delicious. The atmosphere is classy and clean. The staff are next level top shelf servers and they really know how to make you feel welcome and keep you coming back for more. One of my favourite spots to go sit and have drinks with a friend, or have a meal!
Staff was very nice. Quick service
Delicious food and fantastic service
A slow night as it is getting colder outside. But we received the warmest service. Emma s suggestion on the wine was a cherry on the top for our amazing birthday dinner.
We had their calamari, roasted tomatoes and feta, yum. Steak and salmon as mains, delicious. Highly recommend!
A bit noisy place.
Great steak salad and the calories are listed for their meals online.
Great location and feel. Nothing wrong with the food and service; but nothing local about the menu at all. It felt a little pre-fab (even for a chain.)
