Almost everything in the mini buffet was completely empty and there seemed to be no intent on changing that situation as far as the staff were concerned. Luckily they did have some ginger ale and vodka, so I filled my belly with that instead.. delicious (tip, add lots of lemon). The place obviously needs to be bigger to accommodate the crowds, but as it got later in the evening the crowds seemed to thin out somewhat, and it got more comfortable.. the mini buffet however remained at 17th century orphanage levels. Please Sir, May I have some more?!

First time doing a layover at YOW and I was pleasantly surprised. The airport feels modern,…read morespacious, and compact in the best way--easy to navigate, nicely renovated, and with a solid mix of shopping and dining options. I especially loved the Aspire Lounge, and there's also an Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge. Because there are only a handful of flights in and out at any given time, lines move quickly and there are plenty of quiet spots to relax while waiting to board. It made the whole layover experience smooth and stress‑free. Honestly, one of the better airports in Canada.

More creams and lighter oaks used in the dinning room. It was a pleasant and nice change. The fam and I came here for a family get together and it was fine. I do frequent Moxies in other parts of the city frequently so the menu can get a tad tiring as its stayed pretty consistant over the last couple of years with some minor changes. I decided to try the beet salad which was new to the menu. It was large and it was topped with SO SO SOOOOOo many crispy beets, that they were all stained and stuck to my teeth and lips when I went to the restroom. I had no idea. It is not a "date friendly" salad. I also ordered the espresso martini which was $5.00. It was very potent and tasty, but it didn't come with 3 espresso beans on top which is supposed to be for luck. The hubby had the mahi mahi and I tried the mashed potatoes and they were delish. Service was to the point and not overbearing.

TLDR: Good food, nice environment, great service. I usually don't like chains, but I like Moxie's…read more I was meeting up with some friends down by the airport after work and we had lots of catching up to do, so we wanted a place that wouldn't rush us, and was open past 9am. Moxie's fit the bill. I've been to Moxie's before, but only locations in Toronto. They are all kind of the same, which is not a bad thing. The food is consistently good, service is attentive without being intrusive and the ambiance is modern casual. One of my friends was coming from out-of-town and we hadn't seen each other in 7 years, so we were chatting and chatting and the poor server was waiting for us to order. After several attempts she said to close our menus when we were ready to order and she'll take the cue to come over. I thought that was fantastic. And she was super patient with us. I got the Thai Chicken Salad ($25.50). I asked for the salad dressing on the side, and it came as requested. I advised her I was allergic to sesame seeds and poppy seeds and she let me know the manager will come and speak with me, as that is their practice for all allergies. The manager came and let me know that the salad and dressing did not contain sesame or poppy seeds, but there's this crunchy mix they have that they purchase but no longer have the packaging so cannot rule out contact with sesame. We decided that the best option would be to have it on the side and I could visually inspect it and decide whether I wanted to eat it or not. I appreciated their extra attention to allergies. I didn't see any sesame seeds in the crunchy mix, so I added it to my salad (I can tolerate sesame oil, just not actual seeds, so I was confident I'd be fine). I enjoyed the crunchy texture it added. The salad was mostly arugula with maybe some cilantro or other herb. The amount of chicken was very little, but at least it was lean breast meat. It had shredded carrots and red cabbage. Avocado slices, cashews and pumpkin seeds. The dressing was a creamy cashew dressing. I enjoyed the salad. I was going to get some dessert, as I love their mini desserts, especially "bite of brownie" but I was surprisingly too full. My first choice for dining out is always small local independent restaurants. However, I would never object to going to a Moxie's. In fact, I'd say of all the chain restaurants, it's my favourite. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. (103)

Two things I liked and will bring me back are: they are celiac friendly, and, have a 1 to 10 scale for the level of spice you want to have. We are are an extended family with some odd food allergies and food intolerances, so finding a restaurant that makes everyone happy is gold. I did spice level 2. I would try 4 the next time, as my dish ended up being good, but a bit bland. It was the XO dish. The person who had the best experience ordered the Pad Thai, level 10 spice. They found their meal to be perfect. I will note he has a very high heat tolerance. I had some Sashimi to start, and it was perfectly prepared. Decor is brown/black and gold with lots of windows. It's casual, but in a nice way. Overall everyone was happy and we will return.

Honestly, none of the nearby options were as nice or had that "special occasion" vibe we needed. We ended up back at Zoe's, and it was really the service and attention that brought us back.
