Moxie

Hidden Gem !!! Don't be fooled by menu, there are a lot of daily specials. I have walked by hundreds of times and I had no idea this amazing restaurant was here, I hadn't even noticed the sign !! ‍As soon as I walked in and the door shut behind me, I could not believe that this place was here. The lighting is low but still bright enough for You to see the pictures on the wall of the many people who have visited the restaurant, many who are celebrities if I remember correctly. You get that intimate old school upper scale restaurant vibe which I absolutely love. The service and ambiance are just amazing because it feels like they feed off of each other. Greeted almost immediately by the owner who sat us and handed us menus. As we browsed the menu the waiter came by with water and took the drink order. After the drinks came out the owner came around and gave us the daily specials, and there were a handful of them so don't be fooled by their menu. Food was delicious !! Chilean Sea Bass with Lobster Bisque Sauce which was once done with meal the own came by with a warm shot of chocolate which hit the spot!! Can't wait to go back ! Enjoy !

My husband loves Moxie! He would go there once a month if he could. Unfortunately, we can't afford to eat out that frequently there.We always start with the crab cakes - they are delicious! We've tried most all of their proteins and have not been disappointed. It's fun. A little quirky. And delicious!

Heavy vibe no chitchat no smiles from staffOwner is business, feels like he runs a tight ship. Got a little testy when we asked for an appetizer after we had already put in our entree order. Veggies under cooked Had veal piccata okSeafood pasta 8Crab cakes get a 10

It's been around for quite some time and you can always count on excellent service and an excellent meal. The vibe gives you New York Italian mood lighting. The menu itself that's posted online..I don't think has changed for years so when you see it don't get disappointed because where they wow you is all the specials. Fish,Steak, Lamb you name it they have it as a special and the presentation is outstanding.

Love the old school vibe and low lighting. Impressive list of specials lost its luster when it turned out to be 25 different dishes verbalized in detail. The owner is friendly but also condescending when I had to re-ask about certain specials bc I mixed up the details aka failed the quiz. He also called our table impatient bc we wanted to know about food prior to ordering wine. Food is mediocre. Steak and shrimp were over cooked. Dessert was good. Nothing elevated about flavors.

We decided to try Moxie for our anniversary after reading reviews, it was a great decision. The service was impeccable with all of our courses perfectly timed and needs taken care of before we had to ask. I ordered the seared scallop and prawn special, and wow. The scallops were perfectly cooked. They were soft and buttery. The mashed potatoes were decadent. My husband ordered the lamb loin. Lamb isn't the first thing I would order, but honestly I didn't know which dish I liked better! The lamb loin was so tender, breaking apart in your mouth. We have definitely found a new date spot in Sacramento. Highly recommend!

Everything I've read in prior reviews all ring true. I called and left a message and when the owner called me back for our reservation, I asked if they can accommodate gluten free since my wife is allergic to gluten. He said 90% of the menu can be made gluten free. Knowing what I know now, request ahead of time if you want a specific item to me made gf. Next time, we're going to request to have gf crab cakes since they could t be made gf when we were there. While he said they could accommodate for gf, not a lot could have been made gf on the spot. They did have a whole lot of gf options though so we were fine. The host was extremely friendly and really made us feel welcome. Having said that, he does run through the specials at an alarming rate, making you forget what he said almost instantly.The food: crab cakes were incredible. The short ribs were far and away the greatest thing I had here, maybe the greatest thing I've eaten in the last year. The caprese was delicious. My ribeye was delicious and cooked absolutely perfectly. It could have used a little more flavor, but it was very good. My wife's prawns and scallops were phenomenal. The food was outstanding. It was definitely dark but it made for a nice romantic evening. The music was nice too. We will definitely return and try to record the specials next time.

The food was great, Crème Brulee was to die for. Customer service was above and beyond and entertaining. Ambiance was so cozy and romantic. Came here for our one year anniversary and will be back for another occasion. Ordered off the specials, Surf & turf and Salmon.

I have been to Moxie's before. The wonderful service and the custom menu with more dishes than you can shake a stick at.One would think that as the restaurant matures it would become a better version of itself, but no.I had forgotten the long recitations of the specials that no one can actually remember. The food is still delicious, but the hautiness got old after a while.The owner dancing about the tables was charming before, but has gotten a bit old.The hand written illegible check was also a bit of an annoyance.Some ones dared asked for the price of a dish and was quickly rebuffed.The food is still good but as I have gotten older I have grown tired of the 1940's Rack Pack vibe of the place..

The short rib appetizer was amazing. They have so many different appetizer, meat and fish specials that are off menu. I got the Chilean sea bass and my friend got the halibut, both were off the charts. It is a smaller restaurant with a handful of tables so it is quiet and not too crowded. Best to call ahead of time. The service was spectacular. Definitely up there in one of my new favorite restaurants
