Stayed at the Sandman so Moxie's was convenient. Ate there twice, having the rustic pizza with grana padano, pulled short rib, caramelized onions, prosciutto & pancetta. Very good. The next days sweet chili chicken was just okay. But.. I've become addicted to their Blue Zen Martini. Now to recreate it down here... :)

I am a flight attendant and I ate at Moxie"s, and I will never eat there again. I ordered chicken wings, they came in a small bowl that held about 10 wings. Probably the smallest wings I have ever seen. Although the price for these wings are not small. 12 1/2 . The restaurant and service staff were good but the food was not worth the price. If you're hungry better go some place else. Oh, not... more

Food was excellent. Even better than other Moxies.
Service however was inexcusably bad.
Dining alone tonight, I elected to sit at the bar. There were about 5 of us being served by a woman who may in fact be the slowest employee I've ever met.

Once the delicious burger arrived, I had to specifically ask for a napkin.

Not a busy night, but terrible service.

Definitely won't be sitting at the... more

Solid veggie burger with pesto with sweet potato fries are the go to meal at this place. Great for groups of 4-6, with a large menu with selections for ever taste.

Good downtown location, with access to the tram (tram is free in the center core).

Had a great dinner!
The 4 of us all had a great dinner. Was a little worried as it was not busy for a Saturday night, but service was good and so was dinner. Definitely going back.

This is a review for the lounge only. I've eaten here a few times weekday lunch and you can't beat it for timing. The other pubs downtown are crazy busy and slooooooow at lunch. Moxi's get's busy but they seem to have a system because you get your food and you're out in an hour. Menu selection is the same as downstairs, service is a prompt and prices are fair. Had this fish tacos this time... more

Yet another decent bar for after-work drinks with colleagues. I don't usually frequent these sorts of places (as they all start to look alike after a while) but when you work in the Core it ends up being a fact of life.

The thing that I do like about this location is that there is an upstairs and downstairs, and in the warm months, you can sit right outisde. Granted, you're overlooking a... more

I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but this particular one has nice venues and their staff are usually friendly.

The fact that this location exists right by the LRT tracks should warrant a mediocre review at best however, that's not the only reason.

Walking past the storefront to the main entrance, there was human vomit that had not been addressed by staff - kind of gross if you ask me.

I have been here on 3 occasions now and would like the last to be my last.

We have had veggie burgers here - which... more

Perfect All Around

I have had dinner at Moxie's two nights in a row. The service was great both nights. I had different wait staff each night I might add. The food was excellent both nights as well. The first night... more

Huge Portions!

Besides having excellent quality of food/servings, it is best to share your meal. Alternatively, if two persons order variable dishes, it is still wise to share. My friend had Calamari, I had small... more

Excellent casual restaurant w BEST eggs Benedict!

Very nice casual restaurant w friendly and helpful staff. Nice brunch menu & great eggs Benedict - best we have had in YEG!

I was staying in the Sandman hotel, so Moxie's was right downstairs, and it was definitely better than your average in-hotel-lobby restaurant. I ate there twice, and props for the kitchen being open until Midnight on a weeknight! I had an AAA steak sandwich, and I was (happily) surprised that it was an actual well-cooked piece of steak on a half-baguette instead of the slices of meat that... more

What can I say. It's Moxies. Only average. Decent food, and good cocktails. Usually just visit the Market Mall location

For the most part my experience here was typical. I've ate at Moxie's in Edmonton and I wasn't expecting anything fantastic.

I was staying in Calgary for a conference and hadn't eaten much all day so by the time I got to Moxie's at the end of the night (around 8 pm) I was really hungry. I ordered a steak sandwich and a glass of water.

My waitress seemed to disappear into thin air after I... more

This was MAH PLACE TO GO.
That's all changed sadly.
I used to come here on every first date. For the location and where it's at.. I've never seen it extremely busy.

Over the last year, I found that it's slipped a bit from where it used to be.
The Menu is all the same - Usually I just go with a Burger and a Bellini.

The Bellini is where it's been hit the hardest.
I used to come to this... more

Thats Funny I just made a reservation :) weird huh?

Moxie's isn't terrible for a chain and this particular vacation is the best of the one's I've been to.

The service here is great and prompt-important for downtown office worker dining. The menu is varied-definitely something for everyone and any sized appetite. The prices are reasonable and I've found anytime there is an issue with a meal or something they are quick to fix it. What I like... more

Moxie's just across the street from work so I go there quite often. Service is good and food isn't all too bad either! My favorite dish is the veal meatballs stuffed with bocconcini.

This place is almost always crowded. It's perfect for large groups. They can accommodate dozens of people in a group. All you need to do is pre-order using a pretty little spreadsheet.

Above all, I like to go... more

I used to be a manager at Moxies and I can tell you Moxies DOES NOT take reservations, it is first come first serve. So that review about the 17year old boy is an absolute lie. Either your son phoned somewhere else and got the locations confused or you are a flat out liar. Moxies has great food, great service and a family orientated atmosphere. They treat clients with respect regardless of age,... more

Love this place! They have nightly drink specials & amazing desserts. The entrees are great, too. Some of our colleagues weren't as impressed, but we loved it. The second visit the service left a lot to be desired as they were VERY slow to wait on us. Funny thing is it was the same waitress both times.!

to the person who made a false review about moxies and your 17 year old sons reservation moxies does not have a computer system for reservations so there is no way that that happened. Also, no restaurant would ask a customers age when taking a reservation so there is no way for them to know the age of the customer and then "discriminate" against them. Stop making up false claims, its tacky

thank you.

I need employement records i worked 6day jan,2011. Gurharpreet sekhon

We did it again...we came back to the lounge upstairs (aka "M Bar"). And we did our usual sharing a giganctic plate of nachos...we got eager so we went on an early Sunday evening, while it was still light outside lol.

And with it being a Sunday, and not too late at night, we appeared to literally be the only customers. Thus, though there was music playing we could still hear the staff's... more

First time in Calgary and the cold plus close distance to this restaurant brought me to the doors of this hotel restaurant. The staff is friendly and is a decent atmosphere. Food was decent too.

Perhaps it is the location skewing my review slightly (I work nearby, and there is very little else around for lunch... with the crack corner location, and all) but I keep coming back to this Moxies for weekday lunches.

Atmosphere is fine -- typically I meet up with a friend, and this location is fine for chatting and catching up. Quite often, the same friends later ask to meet again at this... more

Great lunch spot

Service is very prompt. Got seated very quickly even with the lunch rush. Food came out quickly. Service was really good. The booths that only seat two are rather uncomfortable and have little leg roomm. I recommend pretending that you havea table of 3... Decor was nice and staff was really friendly.

Good casual place for food or drinks.

There is a lounge upstairs and the menu is fairly extensive. Prices are very reasonable and atmosphere is relaxed. Service is friendly and in the over 20 times I've been here I cant recall a bad experience. Not the place to go if you are looking for a more formal dining experience, but for a casual meal/drinks its perfect.

Went to the main restaurant today.

Ordered the Lobster and Brie Sandwich (Multigrain) and a mixed salad - comes with feta cheese and cranberries.

The sandwich not only had brie in it but also cheddar. The bread was a little greasy when I picked it up to eat.

Overall: 3/5 stars

So, I had a recent christmas get together with some old workmates. Moxie's seemed to be the most convenient location, so Moxie's it was. My friend doing the organizing definitely discovered that. First of all, I came in early. I asked about the reservation under several names, but the hostess could find none. When I asked if I could take a spin around, she snorted "fine, but you're not going to... more

I'm a strong believer in second chances and in the case of this particular Moxie's, I think I have been more than generous in offering opportunities for redemption. I am a big fan of Moxie's in general but for some particular reason, whether it be the unfortunate hour I decide to dine there or its prime location but I cannot name an instance when my experience here was near average.

That being... more

Of all the Moxies' I've visited in Calgary, this one is definitely one of the best. The location is prime (downtown, right at the 7th Street C-Train stop) and considering it's attached to a hotel, the atmosphere is a lot classier than the other Moxies' in town.

The food may be standard Moxie's fare, but the service here is a lot better than it is in most other Moxie's.

If you've never tried... more

If I'm not mistaken, this Moxie's is one of the original in Alberta. Don't quote me, but I recall someone mentioning that to me. Regardless, I have eaten at this Moxie's on a few occasions and enjoyed each visit.

Just to be clear, I love Moxie's. It is probably my favourite chain of restaurants. Part of this stems from my friendship with someone who owns a few locations (not this one) in... more

I have frequented Moxies Grill on 8th so many times that it merits a nice review from me. This is a fancier version of a grill I thought it would be in my head; its elegant art deco interior with very well placed ambient lighting has consistently offered me and my friends' pleasant dining experiences. Service is consistently fine, and I think the prices are quite reasonable for the portions and... more

Three words:

Sweet potato fries.

Seriously, I don't know how they do it, but this place has some of the best sweet potato fries I've ever had! Just the right thickness, the have a very thin, crispy outside that nearly shatters when you bite. Inside it's all soft, sweet, starchy goodness. They're light and greaseless and perfectly fried. I know, I know, sweet potato fries are always good,... more

Nice restaurant with a classy feel and friendly service in the Sandman Hotel in Downtown Calgary. We were on business and it's a good place for a lowkey business meal or catching up over drinks. The young staff were delightfully friendly and attentive - don't know if it's just this restaurant or maybe Calgary people are just friendly overall. My club sandwich was fine with no complaints.

My son, 17 years old, booked a reservation two weeks ago to take his girlfriend out to dinner. The reservation was for between 500 and 530 p.m. on November 9, 2007. My son called at 450 to verify the reservation when he was told, "yes, we have you in the computer, but we gave your table away and we can't accommodate you." I am disgusted. My son is just learning to speak up for himself to what... more
