Had a FANTASTIC time yesterday afternoon at Moxies ! The potstickers were so good I can’t wait to go back and get them again! Fast service a fantastic server named Zoe I .. and make sure it was with a “I” :) she was great and we will be a requesting her each time we come back . Thank you for making our experience that much better Zoe I! Can’t wait to be back!
I had a great dining experience at Moxie’s Grill & Bar! The food quality was excellent, and the restaurant itself had a nice, inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, which added to the overall experience. The highlight for me was the dessert—absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend Moxie’s for a delicious meal and a great time out.
I ordered Chicken Rigatoni for $27, as for me too oily and nothing special; also further on the picture were tacos with shrimps, which looked quite nice and colourful. My companion ordered short rib beef dip for $24, which was very tasty. The bathroom wasn’t too comfortable and a little outdated, which is strange for the place.
Moxies offers a chic upscale atmosphere and exceptional food, with great service. The dinner menu is sort of limited, but they have enough options to satisfy every taste, and more importantly, the few items listed are exceptional. They perfected every item on the menu, and in all honesty that's better than having 50 items listed with only a few being above average. I prefer their lunch menu to their dinner menu, and like most restaurants these days, food portions have gotten smaller while prices have gone up ... but they didn't sacrifice quality.
My wife and I decided on Moxies for lunch. I ordered the black bean tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly...(I would say a little too friendly, but that is just a personal preference.) While I dont hold it against the restaurant, be prepared to spend a little bit more money. Thanks for lunch.
We were greeted at the door with smiles and Complimentary Champagne. Wednesday promo 1/2$ bottles of wine. It was packed and extremely loud, you need to shout to have a conversation, we managed 😜. Our Server Andre was phenomenal. The roasted tomatoes & whipped feta; garlicky deliciousness, chili cashew chicken always a crowd favorite, the arancini & prosciutto needs a lot of work, overcooked rice lacked seasoning, not good. I will keep enjoying this Wednesday promotion, sound absorbing art/decor may help with the noise level. There are a few friends that would not be able to come due to this issue.
We recently dined at Moxies for a birthday celebration and we had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, (the calamari were amazing 🤩 ) and the service was excellent, making the meal even more enjoyable. The location added to the ambiance, creating the perfect setting for a great dining experience. And the place was kids friendly which we enjoyed. Overall, Moxies hit all the right notes, therefore we really recommend it 👍
LOVE how well set up this place is (like charging outlet in each booth) and how the end to end dining experience was memorable. Spacious tables that give you privacy. Staff was professional (although proactive / willingness to refill water would be nice!). Food was great, especially the feta dip with tomatoes and bread appetizer. Overall, food leans on the side of high sodium so if you like your food mild, pls try to ask the server for less salt on the food. The white chocolate brownie was 👌👌! 🌱 Quite a generous selection of vegetarian options!!
Always a good experience at Moxies
Food and service were fantastic.
Great food. Great service
Man $75 for 2 beers and a plate of nachos, Nuff said Food
The food was underwhelming (most of the food we ordered was overly salted). The service was minimal. Server didnt get parts of our order right & didnt check after our order arrived. Took forever to get her attention to ask for more water after the 1st carafe we were offered ran out. Music was extremely loud, my dining partners and I had to shout to hear each other which made the whole experience unpleasant.
Andre s service and recommendations were all perfect. Everything we ate was incredible! Vegetarian options: I love that there are a lot of vegan and vegetarian options.
I was impressed with how attentive they were to food allergies and sensitivities and the creativity of the chef and manager to create a decent meal. Many other places would just dismiss the food allergies and say we cant help you.
This restaurant has an awesome buzzing atmosphere. We went with friends on a Thursday for dinner and the service was excellent. Every meal ordered was beyond delicious. I had the chipotle mango chicken dish and a sangria. The seating is 2 level and I noticed an outside seating area as well for warm days. All I can say is I cant wait to go back!! Vegetarian options: Many options and my friend enjoyed the beyond meat burger.
We ve been here twice and enjoyed our food both times. The first time we had the Blackened Mahi Mahi, which was delicious, and the New York. The second time we had the Salmon and the Rib Eye, both tasted fantastic.
The food and the drinks are great.
Audrey is the best.
Very clean and welcome. The service was good and so was the food.
All the hostesses are very kind and welcoming. Servers are energetic and very attentive as well! The Lounge is pretty modern and has beautiful decor/lighting. Food is pretty tasty, but be aware it is slightly expensive, so make sure youre in a good place financially before you go! Great place for dates, anniversaries, birthdays, or work gatherings :)
Loved it! Everything is fresh and delicious. Excellent in all aspects
Food and service was amazing. The truffle fries are to die for. All our food was incredible, drinks were great, all around great place
Everything Ive tasted has been good at Moxies. Nice ambiance! Decent prices
I cant say enough nice things about this restaurant. I was in the area for business and stopped here for dinner. I ordered the mahi mahi fish entree and it was arguably one of the best meals of my life. The service is very quick, professional and outstanding. What impressed me the most was the attention and care they take when preparing and serving meals for gluten-free (GF) diners like me. They can prepare must dishes GF upon request. Seldom have I witnessed such attention to detail with precautions taken. The GF cheesecake dessert was something to die for. I want to travel back to Kanata merely to dine at this location. Thank you Moxies!
Loved it! Parking: There is a mall around then the parking is available and the restaurant also has its parking space. Food : 5/5 |
Immaculate food
Good all around. Would visit again!
Okay but very expensive food.
Went in yesterday with my mom for lunch, unfortunately her plate came out very salty but the waitress replaced her place almost instantly and the manager took it off the bill. Mistakes happen in the kitchen it s about how a restaurant deals with it and now a days where every places dime and nickels you I was please with the managements service. Things like this that will make you go back to a restaurant!! Thank you!! 100% will be back!
Food was a little mediocre, guacamole had brown pieces in it Drinks were good, service was good Food
Food is always good, staff is always friendly, highly recommend the place.
Everything was perfect, food, service, atmosphere! Thank you guys for amazing service!
10/10 place! I had absolutely amazing time, food, service and vibe! Thank you!
Always a great evening out. Especially on wine Wednesdays.
Great place for family and friends. Good food, clean, and great service!
Good food and friendly/good staff
It was a pleasant and delicious meeting. The dishes were tastefully prepared and delicious. The service was fast and courteous. Recommended! Kid-friendliness: appropriate
Excellent
Great food, impressive. But too loud with a group of 30 near us
Super friendly team, very clean and organized and the churro dessert was delicious. Anna was lovely and took good care of myself and guests. There was a young child in our party walking around, and the entire team made him feel welcome even though he was in their way. Thanks again
Great Service
Got the vindaloo. Was warned it was spicy. About as spicy as grandmas white bread. For that price I expect flavour
We went to Moxies tonight for our first time and it was such a wonderful experience. Megan our waitress took our orders and while they came beautifully prepared they weren t very hot. She happily took them back and had them remade. They came back excellent. All I can is that the service and food was top notch. Great atmosphere. Went above and beyond to satisfy us , and we will definitely be returning to this location. Thanks for a wonderful anniversary meal
Good place to grab a drink on a patio. Management was helpful in resolving some issues.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff that know their products and how to treat customers. A great team.
The staff are pleasant.
The food is really good. The ambience is way too noisy!!
My aunt and I frequent this location often, and the staff is always exceptional! This particular lunch outing Douglas C was our server and he was kind and friendly, and Dave the Supervisor ( I think) made sure that everything was perfect from beginning to end, always greeting us with a smile, and going the extra mile to provide exceptional service. Thank you both!!
Great location with its proximity to the highway, recreational centres, malls and the Canadian Tire Centre. On this occasion we ordered the nachos, blackened mahi mahi and lemon basil salmon; all of which were delicious. Douglas, our waiter, was attentive and polite. Dave, the manager on duty, was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our lunch and we will be back- thank you for the great service!
Best vibe in the city! Love the drink of the day Menu. Best Alfredo sauce out there!
Good food, steak is amazing, service is a bit slow but it s still good. Mashed potatoes are perfect. Parking: Right beside a movie theatre parking lot and it s just a 2 min walk
Love this restaurant and the chicken Thai salad was amazing!
Went as a group of 14, didn t realize it was a sports bar and couldn t get different seats to be out of the bar/tv area. The Caesar salad contained croutons which I had asked to be left out and the Boston chowder was so salty, I couldn t eat it, though it was taken off the bill. All said, would I go again .I don t think so. Too bad, it had potential.
Great food and drink selection. Had the beef vindaloo and was pleasantly impressed at the flavor and quality of the dish.
Bad service. Have been seated for around 15 mins without any sort of service. They just decided to give us our table and ignore us.
Tuna poke bowl and burgers were super amazing and the vibe was super incredible. We have been to a lot of places but Moxies has the best deals in terms of tequila and drink specials.
The blackened Mahi Mahi was great! Service was spot on. I d return to this restaurant.
Trendy spot that caters to the business-casual crowd. Service is attentive and friendly and food is tasty.
Knowing Moxie s is an upscale dining restaurant, the service was moderate, the waitress was infrequent at our table and the meal was mediocre. I ll be taking my hard earned money to another restaurant. Food
Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing everything, the Mahi Mahi is insanely good
It was a great atmosphere and my salad was very good along with the service. Thank you
Tried there white chocolate brownie..it was delicious and awesome.
Really good lunch menu! It was quite busy with cooperate events happening. But good food and service. Considering the restaurant was packed, the food arrived quite fast.
Moxie Kanata is getting as bad as Vancouver with almost 30 plus violation from cold food served , salty food .dirty cutlery, dirty glasses for water and vin ,dirty washroom with no hot water . Kanata Moxie should present his green Dine in safe certificate at the entrance. People watch out and be safe .
Really good food, but the urinal dividers are like 9 inches away from the wall....so.....take a step back gents
Moxies has become an anniversary tradition for my boyfriend and I. Every time we go, the food is served hot, tastes delicious, and the service was great! Also, try the mocktails if you dont drink because they were also tasty!
Food was great and met the sous chef Tim who made the experience even better. Great bright patio to sit on and enjoy!
Fun place! With attentive friendly staff and delicious food!
Love this place!! Excellent service and food!! Highly recommend!!!
Food was bland and tasteless, the half a steak they gave my wife was cooked perfectly and was very good. The burgers were nothing special rather tasteless. The gin and lemon lime were terrible ( we didn t drink them ) however the fries were the best I ve ever tasted
Service speed definitely needs to improve and the atmosphere is stale.. they need to change the vibe of the place.. food is good..
Some of the most beautiful wait staff Ive ever seen. Its very loud so conversation is difficult and so busy, the servers are pretty slow to check back.
Waited 20mins at the table and no one came up to ask for drink orders or how we were doing, but helped other people that were seated after us. Poor service and were really looking forward to eating there for Mother s Day. Ridiculous.
We tried vegetarian option at Moxie s - the burger was amazing. Highly recommended. The ambience was very nice as well Vegetarian options: Vegetatian Dietary restrictions: Vegan Parking: Plenty Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible
Great beer at a great price. Their wings are one of the best in Kanata. The atmosphere is pretty cool too.
Great food and ambience at Moxies. I visited Moxies last weekend for a dinner with friends, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The modern and inviting ambience and stylish decor create a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere.The service was exceptional. I would highly recommend Moxies to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.
Great place for food & Drink.
We opted to sit at the bar area. We were celebrating a friend s bday! It was a little loud but I knew this already as this section is not quiet. Food great! Had the tacos and truffle fries! Good service!
The food is always delicious. I can t handle how loud restaurants are, so I rarely go in to eat anymore, but it s one of my go to when we have a night out
Service was excellent and we got our food in less than 15 minutes even though the restaurant was full.
The atmosphere is that of a sports bar, complete with disco music, so it is not a place to go for a nice couples steak dinner out.
First time going to this location. Restaurant was clean and service was excellent. Menu is typical Moxies. We placed a reservation for Saturday evening, but walk-ins were easily seated. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.
Loved their food. Wish they didn t fire employees for supporting Palestine. Would have gone there more otherwise.
Always enjoy our meal at Moxies.
food was really good. just gives off teenage girl wannabe bougeé vibe
Overall very good experience
Really nice place for a date. The food, the atmosphere and service are all perfect.
The poke bowl was great and martini was aiight
We went out to celebrate my recent promotion. I was looking forward to an amazing cobb salad but was super disappointed. To make the salad they cut an entire head of iceberg lettuce in half and piled some toppings on top. It was super disappointing. I didnt enjoy having to cut my salad.
Always had a great meal and amazing service!
Just waited 10 minutes without anyone even looking our way - we went to the bar to try and get the bartenders attention and he completely avoided us. It wasn t busy so that was incredibly disappointing. Food is always super mid, they re just one of the only places open late so we go pretty regularly.. after this we likely won t be back.
Burger, pizza and chicken were very good!!
Food and service was great
Today is a special day for us. As Chinese New Year begins, as busy new parents, we decide to order dishes in Moxie to celebrate. Unfortunately, I made mistakes to pick up in Hunt Club Moxie. The store helped me cancel the order immediately. Then I reordered in Kanata Moxie. Due to meetings, we missed the original reserved pickup time. The gentleman (sorry for forgetting the name) just let us to wait for 10 minutes and remade our order, which was beyond our expectations. Thanks a lot for saving our special day! We will definitely come back to the store on a regular basis. The food is always fresh, delicious and exquisite. Thank you!
The talent was exquisite today.
Absolutely outstanding Chicken Zen Bowl. Extremely talented chef who out it together, as well great service. Enjoyed the dish so much, I briefly popped into the kitchen door to thank the chef.
I had originally posted a few years back how this location was a 5 Star spot, however after todays experience, that has quickly changed and its entirely based on the lack of customer service skills upon entrance. Id give it a zero star if allowed. Knowing there was a Senators game tonight, we drove from Orleans as early as we could and arrived at Moxies at 4pm. Upon walking we were immediately told when we requested a spot for 2 on the bar side that the entire bar was reserved (even though it nearly entirely empty as we looked in) and that we couldnt be seated there. When telling the host we simply wanted a quick drink and app as we planned on also going to the game and planned on eating there, she repeated that they couldnt accommodate us. Choosing not to find a solution and allowing us to walk away is definitely the last site of us this location will have as we will definitely not be returning and be sure to never suggest or recommend this location to anyone again.
Staff(Tyler, in particular), food, cleanliness all superb the only off part of our evening, and the reason I gave atmosphere a 3 , was the dude in the booth behind us was loud and dropped the eff bomb in every sentence
Stayed there for 2.5 hours and we ate off the appetizer menu all night. Was excellent.
Food was good Service was quick and efficient Only gripe would be the music was too loud in the restaurant... But thats subjective and the other customers didnt seem to mind. Food : 4/5
Had a really tasty Rib Eye steak and the calamari and shrimp were delicious
Came here for family day dinner...Our server Devin was amazing, super helpful and kind!
Excellent customer service.
Very friendly staff, good choice of drinks and correct prices, around 35 CAD for a bottle of wine that I shared with other 3 people and a gin tonic. The kind of atmosphere is not my favorite for hanging out (modern, located in a parking lot) but the place could be a good option for watching a sport match (plenty of screens everywhere, even on the urinals, which I loved).
Fantastic place for a night out
Good really good like the rib,burger but it took a bit too long but worth it
An upmarket chain restaurant that is a well known gem in the heart of Kanata. Who doesnt sometimes want to be guaranteed a delightful experience with friends or partners at a professionally run establishment for a great evening out? The great thing about Moxies in Kanata is its well run management. If you are unhappy with a meal they will happily exchange it at no cost and dutifully dote on your table to ensure you are pleased with the service. It is difficult to find restaurants that so reliably provide a consistent service in this day and age. The food is also mostly excellent and very easy to please any crowd. There is a reason Moxies is so popular in Kanata and if you havent been then you have certainly missed out. Its a well known among the locals and frequently frequented for business lunches due to its consistency, fair pricing and convenient location. Everyone should try it at least once. I have certainly dined at worse and it is a refreshing experience to be reminded there are still some well run locations about. 5/5 in its class.
Good food, great service.
Came here for some apps before a hockey game. Staff was friendly, and our server was friendly and fast. The food was delicious.
We wemt on New Years Eve, the menu was a little pricey, the steak choice was tough how they cooked it, but the salmon was delicious! The appetizers were also delish A couple eating from a set menu and 3 drinks will cost you with tips about $250, so bring some cash, lol
Nice atmosphere, good food and good service.
I tried three different dishes and all was so tasty. They were perfect. Steak was juicy amd well done. Rubs was well cooked with the tasty bbq sauce. Checken breast was seasoned with authentic mexican spice Also, I enjoyed the atmosphere and service and hoghly recommend for those who are looking for romantic event or casual bar
Shared dinner at the bar. Good food and good value. Extensive wine list. Stayed until about 11pm...was a bit noisy. Food
Very loud. Maybe some acoustic panels cleverly placed would help.
Great food, really enjoyed the beef vindaloo. Nice spicy dish.
Food was meh. Service was ok
They brought water to the table which was nice but there was a fly in it ! The food wasnt anything special. Desert was good white chocolate brownie was Fire tho
Wow! My server David was THE BEST! Very funny and he knew exactly what I needed before I knew I needed it. He was telling me how he wants to go to Florida to finish is commercial pilot licence; and work for moxies while there. I wish him all the best (food was delicious) but David really Made my night amazing!
Good food, good atmosphere. My wide and I went for a date night. I had the shrimp Thai noodle dish so good and Malbec wine from California We had a guacamole & fresh salsa dip with chip as a shared appetizer. Vegetarian options: There were a LOT of vegetarian options. My wife picked a tofu dish
Beef tenderloin is aged 32 days and is triple A grade. Some of the best beef I have ever had. Parking: Box store parking with hundreds of spots.
The portions were small, the soda was flat, and the french fries were cold. I expected better.
Wonderful place. Great ambience and tasty food
Consistently good food and service at all of the Moxies that Ive been to. Kanata location was no exception.
our waiter was wonderful and delightful, very attentive to my celiac needs, the food was delicious, steak cooked perfectly! Dietary restrictions: celiac
Great place with friendly staff! I love that they have vegan options on their menu. Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options are on a separate section of the menu. Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly space
I am giving a 1 star because in Google search it shows they open at 11am. Our reservations were for noon. We got there at about 11:45. They did not let us at least stand in the entrance on this cold and wet day of Dec 3rd. Not happy. They lost a reservation for 9 people. Be prepared to stand outside, rain or snow.
Excellent service, took care of allergies seriously. Delicious food! Great venue
At moxie s in Kanata and Jack is a rockstar . Food:yummy. Atmosphere: awesome. Service: SPECTACULAR! Ask to be in his section
