First impression: love! Sooo trendy and cute inside

Service: everyone was super friendly, seems like everyone is working together and helping each-other out

Food: AMAZING. The carrots were life-changing and I can’t stop thinking about them. We also had the muscles which were so good, the bowl didn’t even have any broth after we were done with them.

Love the tapas style menu, hate the lighting in certain sections of the restaurant. The beef remoulade and Moxy bread never miss; you won’t be disappointed! It used to be my go-to spot for first dates and dinners with out of town friends.

Excellent experience! Couple of drinks, some shared plates and everything was amazingly delicious! (I could've used a straw for the broth from the mussels.) Definitely recommend giving Moxy a go!

It had been 12 or 13 years since I'd last been to Moxy, so I was so excited to bring my fiancé for his first time on Saturday night. About an hour before opening, we were able to easily secure a reservation for 5:45pm and were seated upstairs near the railing. It was his time having tapas so I let him pick most of the dishes to make sure we got things he would enjoy.

For our small plates, first to come out was the calamari. It was perfectly spiced and the peppers were a lovely addition. Then the Moxy bread was delightfully toasted. We also got the crispy pork belly (a top dish for both of us, perfect combination of flavors), the mini Italian sausages (this one fell flat for us), and the mini fried chicken (another top dish). We finished off with the whoopie pies, which to me the filling was a bit too sweet, but the dark chocolate sauce helped to cut that a little bit.

We had a lovely time and can't wait to come back!

For parking, there's some street parking available, but I'd recommend parking in one of the garages and walking, so you don't get caught up waiting for pedestrians and looking for a spot. The Hanover Garage (as of June 1) is undergoing some construction so certain entrances/exits are closed, which can prolong the parking and exiting process. There are signs that recommend the Foundry Garage.

A great menu with multiple small plates available. The short ribs is a must have! Service is prompt and friendly!

Already posted ... had reservations but must have given away our table because they tried to sit us in front of the wash sink!

The staff was nice. The food & drinks were yummy. I liked the vibe of the place. A bit on the pricier end, but its nice date spot for sure.

Have been several times and decided to leave a review. Had excellent experiences each and every time we went. Please bring back the seared cod plate.

I had an exceptional dining experience here. This is a place that knows how to nail the details. If you’re a foodie or cocktail enthusiast you’re going to love it here. Service is timely, accommodating, and super kind. The dishes are thoughtful, creative, and most importantly, delicious. The cocktails are complex, textured and beautifully balanced. Bravo Moxy

The waitress never brought my food, but brought my grandsons food. He waited for me to get mine and it got cold waiting. When I Finally got her attention she told me she did not order it. Never apologized. Disgruntled. Will NEVER GO BACK. Service was focused on themselves, not the customer

THIS IS A MUST TRY EXPERIENCE!
Go in a group portions are small, so everyone orders different items and shares, so you get to try many items from the menu. Prices are equal to the portion size, so when you order 3 or 4, it's equal to a full meal cost, but the variety is great! The food? WONDERFUL! The service? 1st CLASS!

My husband and I had a lovely experience at Moxy. We sat up at the bar and the bartender was very knowledgeable and responsive and the food was excellent.

Food was so plain with no flavor really. Tried many items. Two of our items never came and we just got the check and headed out. The space was nice though.

Cute restaurant with friendly staff and great food! We had the Fried Cauliflower, Cornbread, Beef Short Rib Marmalade and the Johnny Cake Community. They were all delicious! Highly recommend.
