Tuna Stack
Evelyn W.

Moxie is a great place to grab a happy hour drinks and bites after work. It's located really close to Union station and makes it easy for commuters to go home. After work, it gets really busy so reservations are good especially if you are dining with a couple of people. Service is good and relatively fast. The food is surprisingly good and the cocktails we ordered were delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Mahi with mashed potatoes, guacamole and corn
Stephanie G.

Food was fabulous, but the music is so loud you cannot hear the person sitting across the table from you.

Beef Vindaloo
Jason K.

Awesome stop. Always come here. Vindaloo was terrific. The staff is great and the menu is large. Don't hesitate stopping in.

Rosé sangria
Bridget O.

Large bar area. Plenty of tvs and background music. Decided to sip on a rosé sangria, tart and refreshing. Service was pleasant but a bit frazzled.

The nachos kicked up with guacamole, sour cream, salsa and pieces of chicken - can you say "ole!"

Part of The Cactus Club, Joey, Earls restaurant chain, I would best describe Moxies at the lower tier of the group however the ambience and design of this Moxie was really nice and similar to an Earls. Wanting a light snack we opted for the nachos with chicken and it was huge! Tasted great and met our cravings before dinner pairing well with that Stella which I also ordered.

Bts chicken

We arrived at Moxies without reservations and got seated fairly quick in their heated outdoor seating patio section. Some items were unavailable, but they definitely made up for it. I tried the BTS Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It was absolutely delicious paired with the Louisiana hot sauce. The chicken was indeed crispy and flavorful. The fries were crispy. We were all satisfied with the food & service.

Came here for a quick snack, had the nachos It was a tasty plate of nachos, however, quite pricy for what it was - $25 for a plate with only cheese, fresh Pico, Salsa and sour cream. To add any protein was an additional $7. I understand that with inflation prices are going up, but I left feeling a bit ripped off as it ended up being $35 with tax and tip. Music was also very loud in there, so difficult to have a conversation with friends.

Our bill. $72.33 +25% tips for good service from the waitress Nat.

Nice big restaurant, clean washroom but music too loud! Ordered Beef dip, tender roast beef but au juice too salty. I asked for crispy French fries because I don't like soggy fries. The fries served were too crispy and salty. Waitress took it back and gave me a new order. Better but still too salty, although I asked no salt! Ordered Sirloin steak medium rare, came out Medium. Waitress took it back and gave us a new steak medium rare this time. The Manager came to our table and asked if we wanted a new steak. We got a new steak the way we ordered it, medium rare, but the feeling we got was the Manager really didn't want to give us a new steak if we didn't insist. For $36 a steak, I think we deserve to get what we ordered! If this happened in Keg, the Manager will apologize and gladly make it right. So why not do it with a smile and make the paying customer feel good? Turn a bad experience into a good experience. Would i go back? Maybe, but I'll insist less salt on my fries and au juice and make sure steak is medium rare!

Shrimp taco and truffle fries
Alekhya M.

We came here later in the night for their happy hour and the $6 classic margarita was a steal and a big big hit. We got truffle Parm fries and shrimp tacos - both really good. Our waitress Breanna was fantastic and attentive. Overall, a laid back atmosphere because we got here late. Can't wait to come back when it's a busy day and try more of their cocktails.

Lunch!

Sushi was our server last night, and she was so friendly and personable! She made our cocktails…read morewith friends, so much fun!!

Kids love the word "aura" these days, and when my dad asked me what it means I told him "think Soho…read moreHouse 2010-2014." That confused him more but I like messing with my dad. Forreal though, the run Soho House had can only be rivaled by 2011-2015 Whole Foods. You really had to be there... but like any other prime, Father Time always catches up. I was set to do a full rise and fall piece on the Soho House right here on Yelp but in my research, I stumbled upon an article by Lydia Moynihan in the NY Post and she nailed it. I really didn't have much to add so go over and read that if you have a sec. Shoutout to Lydia. Instead, I'll just recap our experience here like any other boring Yelp Review. We came to this Toronto location before the Taylor Swift concert, and I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like prime Soho House. A beautiful, discrete brick building with an old school interior. Whoever designed this one needs a raise. I'm so tired of the cookie cutter half-assed modern architecture. The ones in LA and NY now feel like it is just a bunch of dorks trying to be seen by God knows who. There is no soul in those locations. We grabbed a drink in the lobby and went upstairs for our 5pm dinner. I domed a couple of negronis and we split a margherita pizza and a bottle of pinot noir before our mains arrived. I got the rigatoni, per the waitresses recommendation because she had a thick Italian accent. Big truss. She wasn't lying either, that rigatoni went crazy. I took like 30 pictures before a staff member came over and said no pictures, as I didn't know that was still a rule here... please don't beat me up. We closed dinner with a couple espresso martinis before setting off on foot to go see Big Tay put on a show. She really did her thing. Thank you Soho House Toronto, for giving me a taste of what the Soho House used to be in the states. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

A classic Punk / Rock n Roll Bar in Toronto CA. Basically the CBGB's of that scene…read more It's been around since the early 1990's and is exactly what a spot like this should be. Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

The Bovine is a fantastic place that is the same today as it was decades ago. not only that, but it…read moreis also one of the cheapest pints that you can find. Now, are the taps dry? Maybe. Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who later seated us at the bar. The atmosphere and overall ambiance of the restaurant were 1000% worth the trip!

For food, I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Tacos, Tuna Temaki, and Prawn Crunch, and everything was just as satisfying. Between the drinks, the food, and the atmosphere, the experience definitely lived up to the hype. I'll absolutely be back to this location and plan to visit their other locations, too, so I can explore more of the menu. Cactus Club, you understood the assignment!
