    Aperol spritz
    Kai M.

    Happy Hour Review! As a dedicated football fan, I can officially seeing myself coming here to catch a few games on the screen. They have over 10 televisions and you're welcomed to ask for your game to be shown on one of them. Guest service was excellent! The entire staff were uniformed in black and their personalities were friendly and professional. Our waitress Nicole was the best! A rockstar with excellent recommendations for drinks and small bites. I started off my happy hour solo and sat in the bar tabling area. The ambiance was beautiful and I enjoyed watching the bartenders mix up speciality drinks for guests. I later transitioned to a booth table area once my boyfriend joined me. HH Drinks ranged from $6-12 and the selections will blow you away...a steal in DC!!!!! I ordered the espresso martini which was delicious but the star of the show was the Aperol spritz, which I continued drinking throughout the evening. HH bites were $12 with limited selections. However, the plates are shareable. I ordered the Thai chili chicken and the pork potstickers (veggies available). The pork stickers were really good. Freshly prepared and well balanced with a delicious mango salsa which welcomed sweetness to your palate and soy sauce for a bit of savory notes in each bite. The star of show however, was the Thai chili chicken bite. OMG! This dish is what you call culinary genius! It's sooooooo good and the balance of flavors is proof of that. The chicken was nicely diced and lightly fried then topped with a well balanced sweet/spicy sauce. Then to complement the dish, they added their house special wonton chips which carried a beautiful nachos flavor. AMAZING all around! And yes! The wontons are refillable! Great music Lively ambiance once the HH scene picks up Elevated sports bar with amazing drinks and food to celebrate your team! Don't delay, visit this spot. It's worth it!

    Great service, great drinks, ample selection of drinks, good food, large portions, nice patio! The chocolate old fashioned was great although not super chocolate-y. The chocolate martini was amazing. The bramble was good with fresh crushed raspberries! The tofu power bowl was huge, filling, and tasty. The spicy mayo WAS a bit spicy but the peanut sauce wasn't. The breakfast potatoes are tasty here and come with a good sauce. Nice outdoor patio. Good place!

    NEW, sexy, boughie, classy...what more could you want from a DC restaurant? Did I mention the food here is ABSOLUTELY delicious? I found Moxies on OpenTable after looking for the perfect spot to celebrate part 1 of my birthday weekend with my girls. Much like Miss Knowles, I needed an Act 1, 2, and 3 to celebrate my season. The description online said that this spot was "modern, classy, and vibrant". I'm happy to report that Moxies lived up to all of that and then some. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a complimentary glass of prosecco and birthday wishes from the beautiful staff...what a lovely touch! They even threw in a free dessert for the occasion. I told them they'd easily get 5 stars on Yelp from me for that alone lol ;). Luckily, the menu left an even better impression on me. It happened to be restaurant week when we visited (another bonus of being an Aquarius baby) and we had the chance to sample several items amongst the group. From the potstickers, hot baked crab dip, chicken madeira rigatoni, miso ramen, and steak frites- everything was melt in your mouth good. Bonus points to the white chocolate brownie... absolutely delectable. Overall, Moxies was perfect from start to finish. The food was amazing, the interior was gorgeous, and the restrooms were pristine. Details that matter, ok!? To top if off, they treated me like an absolute princess during my special day and made me and my guests feel truly cared for. I'm already planning a return visit. I can't wait to try more of their menu offerings. Total yum!

    The food was overall good, and the generous portion sizes were definitely a highlight. While the staff seemed slightly inexperienced, the manager was consistently checking in on tables to ensure everything was going well. The cocktails were also good and paired nicely with the meal. It is a solid place for dinner, though it seems to turn into a club later on in the night. Restaurant is on the louder side

    4 month old restaurant and I would say it definitely needs work. The ambiance and feel of the restaurant is clean and new but that's the extent of it. There are multiple TVs around the bar that are good for watching with a small group. The cocktails were tasty but took a while to come out. Service was so incredibly slow. It took so long to order mains and additional drinks. Our waitress would just randomly disappear. We arrived at 6:30 with a reservation and didn't leave until 9pm since everything took so long. Food was quite mid. Appetizers were decent, nothing special. My mahi sandwich was incredibly dry and had no flavor. The salad was floating in dressing. My partner ordered the chipotle mango chicken that was also very dry and the chipotle rub was clumpy. The quinoa didn't make sense with the dish, "it looked like a tower of dark brown." The red pasta didn't really have any flavor and the rigatoni that is a Moxie special was incredibly butter forward.

    ugh! So excited to talk about my favorite new spot in the heart of DuPont! Moxies is an incredible new American restaurant/bar with absolutely stunning decor, perfect for a date night or girls night out! It truly looks like you just stepped into a VIP lounge in Miami. The service was amazing; we were assisted by our waitress truly every 5 minutes, which is so lovely and rare to find! I got the sticky toffee pudding, which was DELICIOUS and such a great size for the price. I cannot wait to be back!!

    10/10 - New Favorite Spot! Moxies instantly impressed with its vibrant atmosphere and warm, welcoming staff. The vibe is modern, energetic, and sets the tone for a great experience.

    The bourbon blueberry or blackberry smash was phenomenal!

    Monet has the best personality and made my dining experience warm and welcoming. The food and beverage was top tier!

    One of the best new spots I've tried this year. On weekends, a reservation will be a must, as they…read moreare small and get packed, but for good reason. It's a sexy basement vinyl den with additional outdoor seating, 10/10 unique cocktails, and incredible Japanese inspired small plates. Between two visits, we have tried 6 different drinks. They are named after songs and listed on the back of a fake vinyl cover. Each costs around $20, but with the mandatory tip and tax, it comes to around $26-28 per drink. The since I left you, though, is worth every penny. It is similar to an old fashioned but a little sweeter, with bourbon (makers mark), and while the menu says it also has miso, blackberry, cardamom, and cacao, I wouldn't say those flavors come through. But it is one of the best cocktails being served in DC right now. It is so good. They serve it with a cardamom tuile that is delicious as well. There is a lot of variety on here, but my number 2 is the Roses, a bright red gin based drink with a hint of fruitiness and a spicy kick in the back end. If you want something a little sweeter, the Takeover is a cognac based drink with coffee notes served with a mini donut. The food is exceptionally well seasoned and so flavorful. The fried chicken cannot be missed, and I love that you can get it in half or full size portions. The shrimp tempura might be even better. You get four large pieces that are super crisp and have a little orange sauce on them. Amazing. Our second visit we tried their chips and dip, and these potato chips alone are worth a visit. Large, crunchy, and served with a tasty ranch dip. I think 2 dishes is good for two people to fill you up, but add a third if hungry. The place is quite expensive, but they are worth it. For a date night, they are a great choice. Four drinks and three dishes shared between two people came to around $195, but as of this review, they are offering a $30 off deal if you pay through the app In Kind. Bonus points because the first time we came, they seated us maybe 5 minutes after our reservation time, and they gave us a free glass of cava. Top notch customer service right there

This bar is sweet -- awesome music, a neat menu, truly craft cocktails, and a unique menu. We tried several cocktails and each was delicious - from spicy to sweet, they don't miss. We also tried the cheese burger egg rolls and the tuna hand roll. The food is expensive for what you get but it's advertised to be small bites, not a meal. The egg rolls felt like remixed in n out, and as a Californian, I was grateful. Why not 5 stars? With the premium pricetag, I do expect premium service. The bartender was more interested in chatting with some folks he knew who came to sit at the bar. He also spent a lot of time chatting up the couple next to us, so do sit at the bar if you're feeling social. However, for the spare attention he did provide us, he was a bit condescending when we asked for a different glass for a drink that came in a bowl. It was slow until the very end of our stay and yet there were several times where I had an empty glass for a long period (and wanted to order more) or needed water. FYI for 6 drinks and a few bar bites it was $165... we went for a cheap burger dinner afterwards!

The drinks tasted watered down and unbalanced. The banana flavor in mine was dull and overripe rather than fresh and vibrant. The smoke and fire presentation was nice, but the actual cocktails did not justify the $25 price point. The restroom was unacceptable. There was urine on the floor, a strong foul odor, and the surface was slippery. For a speakeasy positioning itself as upscale, this was a major miss. The space is very small and service was just okay. Overall, the concept has potential, but the execution did not meet expectations. I will not be returning.

I am aware this is a small space, I did research on it and did notice their website makes mention that while they prefer reservations, they do have a limited spot for walk ins. Knowing this, I sent my husband here, hoping for a spot at the bar as he was alone. When he arrived around 6pm, he saw 2 open bar spots and a bunch of tables with reserved signs. The head of house asked about a reservation and my husband said he was hoping to get 1-2 drinks, bar spots were fine. He noticed a group of 4 girls waiting as well- he was then told the bar was full and the 2 open spots were not to be filled at the group of 4 had first dibs on them. This makes 0 sense because one person could have easily filled them but I digress. On top of that, when my husband asked what time they could potentially get him in, as he did not mind waiting, they told him 11:30PM. Then the host scoffed and said "You do know it's Friday, right?" insinuating my husband must be an idiot who can't read a weekly calendar. Look - I get it, small exclusive spot obviously trying to replicate the swanky NYC speakeasies vibe, those that are impossible to get into- however, do not be flat out rude. Remove the verbiage on your reservation booking spot about walk in's if you cant accommodate ONE walk in spot. Don't waste your time- Press Club DC has better staff and are way more accommodating than this spot.

I know reservations are probably highly recommended, but we were fortunate to walk in at just the right moment and snag a seat. The seating is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening.

Next, the hostess led us to a table inside where the magic of candles, cozy tables, and intimate booths immediately meets your eyes. Did I mention that we sat in most comfy green velvet chairs in our cozy booth? How sexy! Service: our waiter, Jordan, was the best! He provided great service and recommendations. However, shoutout to the rest of the staff because it was truly all hands on deck. Drinks: the bartender is indeed a mixologist! There is no question of the magic he created in a glass. Her drink- I ordered the Attractive Nuisance, an elevated spritz. The drink was perfectly balanced with flavors to include G.H. Mumm Champagne, Avua Prata Cachaca, Cocchi Americano, Saffron, Vanilla. I literally tasted all the flavors in the drink and the liquor ratio was just right. Of course I went with another round, you simply have to try it understand why I did. His drink: El Tiburón-Let's just say that he said that this is now one of his favorite cocktails because it was smooth! Small bites: the kitchen was out of mussels and their famous donuts so we decided to try the Franks en Crute, the sexy adult version of pigs in a blanket lol. Such a delicious treat, well balanced flavors giving both sweet (flaky puff pastry) and savory (well grilled wagyu beef). Definitely recommend. The music was perfect for the evening! The bar was filled with all matured folks enjoying their group meets or dates, the atmosphere welcomed all. As I stated earlier, this has now become a regular on the list and I'm excited to visit again.
