I heard a lot of great things about Moxie, and am a huge fan of Trouble and Sons, so was excited to finally try this place. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. Service was a little slow, and our entrees were mostly lukewarm. My red snapper was dry, as was the risotto. The braised short ribs did not fall off the bone, but rather were also a little dry. The house salads were ok, but would have preferred the cucumbers and tomatoes be sliced instead of diced. On the upside, the cream of broccoli soup was amazing and the dishes as a whole were flavorful. Our lemon drop martinis were tasty, but the dirty martini had a tad too much olive juice, but was also tasty. The atmosphere was quaint, cozy and warm. Despite being disappointed, I would be willing to give Moxie another try.

Great atmosphere and quality food. All dinners are $18 and up. The Whitefish was average... was missing something. Blueberry Lemon cake and drinks were very good. This is quite a small restaurant inside, there is some outdoor seating but it will fill up fast during peak times. Nice location just east of Bayside mall, it’s a nice walkable area anywhere near the restaurant.

Good food. FRESH! Good atmosphere, and Reasonably priced

The food and our waiter was amazing. As we were waiting for our waiter to bring our receipt and card, a staff member approached us and asked “did you pay yet? We need this table for our next reservation.” It made me feel some type of way. I know the place is busy and we’re waiting at the same time. She didn’t even asked the waiters before asking us. Would I come again. I would have to think twice. Poor service at the end.

Arrived at 12 party of 3. Service slow. All other patrons served before us. Our party was all part of high end well known Milwaukee restaurants. We wanted to see what the hype was about and very disappointed. Burger and bun burnt, Truffle melt burnt and shrimp unedible due to heat level and watery mess. We where served at 1:45 almost 2hours after seated. Highly disappointed would not recommend.

Good drinks, looked like good food, but we didn’t get our food. Terrible service and customer relations from the server. Ordered a pizza (while part of a group) our group got there food but we did not get our pizza. She refused to take responsibility for the pizza not being ready and instead blamed it on the kitchen. Did not receive any sort of apology. Will not be back.

I have been wanting to try Moxie for a couple of years. Mainly because it's LBGTQIA owned, gotta support the team. Reservation are a must, use the online app if you like. The times they offer are legit. We ordered an app, salad and the ribeye. The meal was presented well and the stake cooked nicely. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our dietary needs. Unfortunately we have had better steak for less $$. I ordered scallops with my steak, a $12 upcharge, and that's fine with me. But there was barely a noticeable sear on the scallops. Finally, an odd thing to have to do, but we had to send the steak knives back twice because they were not sharp. I would say serrated knives would have been better. I almost forgot, dessert was lovely. Always get dessert 😋 The atmosphere was pleasant. I was surprised that the single use bathrooms were gender specific. But this surprises wherever I find single use bathrooms these days. It's a fine place to go, enjoy and leave a comment on what you eat there.

It was our first time at Moxie and we will definitely be back. Our waitress Theresa was so good and all the food and drinks were delicious. My wife is now expecting their blueberry lemon cake for her birthday! The only gripes I have is it seemed like it took a long time to get our food and the $16 spicy shrimp appetizer seemed a little expensive for only getting 5 shrimp and toast.

Always great food, great cocktails, and great service! On our last visit, a woman who appeared to be experiencing some economic difficulty entered and was greeted warmly. I asked our server to offer her a meal at my expense. Shortly thereafter, the manager/host informed us that they cook her a meal whenever she stops in, and I was not charged. Knowing that, I will increase the frequency of my visits. Well done Moxi!

One of the best dinners I have had! The lemon blueberry cake is the best cake in the world. Great service and atmosphere.

good food

A new favorite!

This place was extremely "meh". I will say the service was good. The dining room as a whole is very loud and very crammed. i was sitting at my table and people were all around me trying to get a drink at the bar. When it comes to the food I thought it was very mediocre. I had the cioppino and I think they missed some key elements. My girlfriend had a white sauce dish and it was much tastier.

Came here for lunch with some friends, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere! The staff were very friendly and the food was good. Will definitely come back here for drinks and apps again.

I work at this place and the food is delicious and worth every penny. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, along with a beautiful patio for outside sitting. This should be one your list to eat at

Great service and outdoor seating however, wouldn’t say the same for the food. I ordered the seafood scampi and I was not happy with it. It came in a very white creamy sauce, which shrimp scampi should not be in. My friends also ordered pasta on their menu and they were disappointed. I love pasta and so this was very disappointing for me. Most things on the menu are so expensive and after trying the shrimp scampi (thinking it would be amazing because it’s so expensive), i was not happy with my meal at all. I definitely won’t be coming back here again.

We had dinner here last Saturday with a couple of friends. Seating outside was no issue and the atmosphere was very nice. It wasn't very busy. Unfortunately that seems to be the end of good things to say. Our waiter was entirely disinterested. It took more than 15 minutes to get our drinks after we placed the order. When our food came out, everyone got their dishes aside from me. My plate came out more than 10 minutes after the rest of the table's did. My partner, who had ordered the market steak, was extremely disappointed. It was clear his food had sat at the hot plate for quite a while before it was brought out to us. I'll say my dish was tasty, but very disappointing that it came out so much later than the rest of the table.. Our waiter didn't check on us once after our food was delivered. He only came to our table about 20 minutes later to drop off the check without even asking if there was anything else we would like. All in all it wasn't a great experience, which was very disappointing after reading so many good reviews.

Great patio! Good service and a large menu. 4 stars instead of 5 because I think there is better value at other places in the area. Will go back for patio again!

A little overpriced for the area and the menu items. The food was good, don't get me wrong. We were seated in the motorcycle alleyway area inside the restaurant between the bar and the server station. It was a loud area for a high top. Would like to try the outside patio as that looked adorable.

Fantastic experience here. Supreme staff and amazing food and drinks! The overall aesthetic of this restaurant is intimate/trendy. Would certainly go back. The owner is a sweetheart!

I recently had the pleasure of an unexpected visit to a charming restaurant that left me feeling delighted. The warm communication between the staff and guests created a sense of community, while the delicious food and amazing atmosphere made for a truly memorable experience. I can't wait to visit again!

We're so happy that Moxie has reopened. It's one of our favorite restaurants in town. It reopened with some of the same wonderful staff members and a great new chef, who brought some nice updates to the menu. We just celebrated a family dinner there. I had the salmon arrabiata- a delicious slightly spicy tomato sauce. It was excellent and the salmon itself was perfectly cooked (ie not overcooked). My father had the seafood pasta and said it was fantastic. The service, food and ambiance at Moxie all make it a great choice for dinner. Welcome back Moxie! We missed you!

They changed the chef , the name of the dishes kept the same but the quality isn’t. Not as good as it used to. The service is super slow, you will be expecting to spend at least an hour and a half to two hours here, we went just the two of us and we were there for two hours. Each round of the food would take around 45 minutes. They don’t have draft beer and also don’t have many choice of beers to pick from, beer was so stale, no bubble, it must be old.

I have nothing bad to say about this place in the slightest! Our server Tonieh was so kind, and the dishes that everyone had were to die for, not to mention the desserts. Every single one was unique and delicious.

Such a great restaurant, perfect for date night at night or lunch with the girlfriends out on the patio! I CRAVE their french onion soup and grilled roamine salad.

This is a great, albeit small, eatery that has something tasty for anyone. I went for lunch during the week and the place was pretty busy. I'm told to call ahead to get dinner reservations or you will have to wait. I tried several things and by far the scallop appetizer was the best. That sauce was perfect by itself! Everything is good so enjoy!

The food was good (shrimp and scallop scampi), tastes like it was freshly prepared with fresh ingredients. Drinks were good and the ambiance makes this restaurant a great place to visit. If you go on a warm day/night the patio was another option.

Such a lovely place with nice outdoor section. Food is delicious and a little bit pricy

Brandied chicken liver pate and the mahi mahi with risotto and mushrooms and peppers. Both very delicious.

We had an amazing experience dining at Moxie! It was a busy evening so we chose to sit at the bar. The bartender, Joe, was so friendly and fun to watch. He was hard at work making delicious drinks! The scallop shrimp scampi was amazing as well as the tomahawk pork chop. They have a great selection of wines and craft cocktails. This spicy mocktail, was delicious! We can’t wait to go back and try some of their other menu items!

Food and service was wonderful. I made a reservation the previous day for high top seating, which was the only thing available, but upon arrival was offered a lovely outdoor seating option which we took!

I loved my bartender/server Tonia. She was fantastic. The resteraunt it's self was really cute, welcoming, yet professional. I got the seafood special, it was great! The pasta wasn't cooked all the way through and the barbies in the bathroom were weird. I reccomend this place for sure, it's probably bc I got the special that maybe the pasta wasn't cooked. As for the barbies, maybe it's art I don't understand. Fantastic service and great food.

I sat at the bar with my Mom for a Wednesday evening dinner and it was surprisingly busy! Always a good sign in my opinion. The shrimp appetizer was amazing, salads were perfect size and had a good amount of dressing. I had the salmon entree which I could reccomend to anyone. Specials were creative and the staff did a great job explaining everything and answering our questions. I highly reccomend MOXIE Food + Drink!

We were seated immediately, and we had a party of 6. Food and service were excellent. I will definitely be back.

Great spot to grab some food when in a hurry. The customer service is swift, pricing is convenient, great character.

Worth every penny. Will leave you stuffed. Have an appetizer and desert.

The food was fabulous and more than enough. The gentleman that worked the event did an excellent job!

This is one of the BEST places I have ever eaten! Excellent service and amazing food.

The place was clean, the food was good and the servers friendly. I will definitely be back again.

The food is always delicious!! The staff is great and the owner is humble enough to visit some tables.

Awesome atmosphere and excellent food. I've never had a bad experience here!

The food, service and friendly atmosphere are always excellent. Moxie is our go to whenever we're in the area. Their focus on customer safety and comfort is appreciated during these uncertain times.

During the holidays, at the last minute I called Moxie to see if I could have a gift card picked up (by my niece or nephew since I was calling from New Jersey) ....it took a few calls, but Anne Marie did pick up and explained they were closed but took the order PLUS delivered the gift card to my brother"s home, which was a HUGE favor for me! She even sent a text to comfirm delivery! Having dined there when I was in town I knew the food and drinks were great and now I know the customer service is outstanding! That one kind act from the Moxie reminded me that civility, respectfulness and grace are alive and well and we all need to pay it forward during this crazy time.
