Moxies - University offers "great food" and "excellent service" in a modern setting. Guests rave about the "spectacular" white brownie and "tasty, fresh" dishes like Mahi-Mahi and shrimp tacos. While some find it "too noisy," the patio provides a quieter option. It's a popular choice before events, with attentive staff enhancing the experience.

    I went with the family to ring in the New Year, and it was a solid choice. The food was excellent—great flavors and cooked just right. Our server was top-notch, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The vibe was perfect for a family night out, and the prices were on point for the quality. Loved the complementary Prosecco. Definitely a place I'll be returning to.

    The food was terrible ; chowder was cold and the steak was not a 7 oz . It was tiny and thin and full of grizzle and nervy . Chewed and threw out . Server asked but did not acknowledge the problem so we just paid the bill and left . Steaks are better at the keg for the same price ! This steak and soup dinner was not worth 140$

    New Year’s Eve at Moxies was a lively and festive experience, and despite the crowds, the evening unfolded with plenty of charm. Food & Drinks: I skipped the prix fixe menu and opted for a more casual selection: a refreshing mocktail, crispy truffle fries, and a classic French dip sandwich. The mocktail was perfectly balanced—sweet but not overly so—and beautifully presented. The truffle fries were a highlight: crisp, well-seasoned, and aromatic, with just the right touch of decadence. The French dip was comforting and flavorful, with tender meat and a rich au jus that added depth to every bite. Service: Despite the restaurant being packed, the service was attentive and pleasant. While there were minor delays (to be expected on New Year’s Eve), the staff made sure to check in regularly and keep the energy upbeat. My server even recommended the mocktail, which turned out to be a great choice. Atmosphere: The ambiance was vibrant and celebratory, with lively decorations and a palpable excitement in the air. Though the noise level was high, it felt appropriate for the occasion. As midnight approached, the restaurant embraced the festive spirit with a countdown and a complimentary toast (non-alcoholic options included!), which brought everyone together in a cheerful moment of celebration. Overall Experience: The evening was a wonderful mix of good food, fun vibes, and a sense of shared excitement. While the hustle and bustle might not appeal to those seeking a quiet meal, it was a perfect way to ring in the new year with a festive flair. Pro Tip: Stick to crowd-pleasers like the truffle fries, and consider a lighter drink option like a mocktail to keep the evening balanced. Patience and a celebratory spirit will go a long way on such a busy night!

    It was extremely loud!!! Large groups should be seated in private dining areas. I could barely hear my friend all night!! The food was fine but there was an issue about my friends bill and the waiter was rude and told her “ to read the menu before ordering” ???? This is Not how you solve issues!! 000000 costumer service!! He also barely checked on us and brought the bill out before we even asked. Brought out tea without sugar and had to ask another waiter to do so after waiting for ten minutes…. Not the best night and we are both pretty regular at your establishment. As a matter of fact, I planned our Christmas party at Moxie‘s at Yorkdale yesterday and it was wonderful. Very disappointed
