I've been here many times because it's a nice place to come to while shopping at Yorkdale, and I really like their herb chicken alfredo, but this place also has some huge cons.

For starters, the food isn't anything special. I feel like you're paying for the ambiance (which is really nice), but is unfortunately ruined by miserable staff. On my most recent trip, the boyfriend and I stopped in... more

The only thing that really stood out was the ice cream chocolate brownie. I used to like Moxies 7 years ago... but as I grew more picky the "land, sea grill" and the overall food experience has gone more "meh". It feels like a Joey wannabe yet it is not quite one. It tries to steal the Keg's thunder but it is only a KEG-in-Training.

So what is its identity?!

I don't know... I like to refer to... more

Why Moxie's? Why do I need to give you an A-OK review? This used to be my favourite restaurant. However over time, the dining experience has gotten worse and worse. I've rated this Moxie's location 3 stars strictly because I enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. However, the service here is just awful. I could go on and on about the bad experiences I've had here but I'll just talk about my... more

Ordered the chipotle mango chicken. Chicken was burnt. Disappointed, Yorkdale sucks. The best one is the one in Vaughan besides the theatre & Earls.

39 cents wings on Monday & you can half and half flavours! You can't go wrong with a white chocolate brownie too!

The Mediterranean pasta is delicious

In general I recommend Moxies's food and I really like the atmosphere.Great place for a dinner date and see a movie afterwards.I tried the baby spinach salad with chicken. Refreshing and healthy.

Rib and chicken" is good!

I know better than to dine at in-mall restaurants but after seeing all the amazing upgrades made to Yorkdale mall, silly me to have thought the food at moxies would have stepped up after yrs too!

I am never a huge fan of chain restaurants, and avoid them when I can, opting for the smaller, local spots, but I have to say, my last few experiences with Moxies have been impressive.

Situated close to my office, I have visited here a handful of times in the past year for client lunches and work dinners and each time have left satisfied.

Last week me and my guest both ordered pasta dishes,... more

Very busy on a Saturday evening and a small waiting area but friendly and enthusiastic wait staff along with good food.

Good food just very shaking waitress spilling beer, forgetting guacamole with our nachos. Only saving grace is good company.

This Moxie's is in the Yorkdale Mall. I've been here several times over the years as it is the go-to place that one of my friends and I go for dinner when I'm in Toronto. The food is good, but it's our go-to place more because it's conveniently located for both of us and there's lots of free parking. We always go on a …

Service was good considering how packed the restaurant was. It's pretty much Jack Astor's or Kelsey's with a less tacky layout and that is reflected in the price of the meal. It's marginally more expensive, and honestly the food just wasn't good. You can do a lot better at about $30 bucks a head. I think that's pretty much the story with all mid-range places in the area.

I don't normally gravitate toward chain restaurants by choice. On the rare occasion I do, Moxies is it! Met another family of four here for saturday dinner. They gave us a huge table in the back...which was great since we had kids.

We ordered the calamari, Beef dip sandwich and the chicken parm sandwich. Ofcourse, we ended with the white chocolate brownie! All of this was amazing. The calamari... more

Worst Moxie's location!!! Waitress was slow in our order and when we spoke to the manager they did nothing about it. I ordered a bottle of wine for a celebration which NEVER came. Who waits til the entree in finished to remember the wine. Even escalating to head office is useless. They take their time with responses. Worst of the worst Moxie locations!!!

This Moxie's is located at the Yorkdale Mall, across from the movie theatre escalators.
Taking a different set of escalators you arrive in a very well laid out restaurant away from the hustle and bustle of a busy mall.
Given the choice of the bar area or restaurant area, we chose a booth in a quiet part of the restaurant.
Service was fast. Menu lots to choose from.
I had the steak salad........... more

I've been to this location a few times, most recently right after New Years, and have always had a good experience. Honestly a little surprised their service gets as much flack as it does. Went on a Friday night at 8:30 and only waited 10 minutes for a table - not bad considering the mall was just about to close. Our server was very friendly and attentive, even though the restaurant was pretty... more

If you don't want to stand in line and find a spot at after shopping at Yorkdale this is the spot! Its dark and beautiful but this location is huge compared to all the other locations.

Food:
Nachos: being a fan of nachos of course their nachos were amazing but the double cheese was a little overbearing making it hard to chew on but other than that excellent.

White chocolate Brownie: must try,... more

First time eating hrre, on a sunday evening, a full house, very busy. The haddock was amazing, simple sweet and tangy, flavourful. The pasta was typical, oily and similar to any other chain restaurants, nothing special. Upbeat restaurant, nicely rennovated and great date place, a lot of privacy. They were nice enough to allow us and sit for hours, after dinner and paying but was rude of them... more

Worst restaurant I have ever been to in my whole entire life. Today I decided to go to Moxies Yorkdale with a good friend of mine. I ordered the white chocolate brownie and she decided to order the dark chocolate cake. After a couple of bites, my friend found a strand of hair which we believe was baked inside the cake. We informed the waitress about what we found and she immediately gave my... more

From beginning to the end, our service was poor and very slow.
We came in on a Friday night around 1030pm and ordered drink specials that were recommended. I ordered a soup to start and pesto penne but instead of penne I wanted rigatoni.

Sadly our server brought me a glass of water but did not ring in my gin and tonic and it took a really long time. The service bar (guy) was nice enough to get... more

I found this Moxies to be more or less the same experience as you get with other Moxie's: which I find to be much better quality and a much better experience than your average chain restaurant. It was perhaps a bit louder than other ones I've been to - likely because of the location. The service was also a little slow. But the food was certainly as good as other Moxie's restaurants.

Came with my girlfriend and one of her friends. The restaurant is inside the shopping mall and downstairs. Anyways, we were waiting outside for her friend to show up and one of the guys downstairs must have seen us so he came up and told us that if we came in, we could get a free dessert for each of us. We told him we were going to be coming in anyways but were just waiting for her friend to... more

The delicious honey-garlic steak is one of my favourite steaks! The desserts are also very good. Unfortunately, the last time I went there the food was a little cold. When we told the waitress, she just said she was sorry but didn't do anything about it (so sad, especially since we can't go to a pricey places like Moxie's very often). Also, Moxie's tends to be a little noisy.

A few friends and I decided to go here for some casual dinner and dessert. This was the fist time I had eaten at this Moxies and was shocked by the lack of service we received. When we arrived we were told there would be a 20 min wait for a table but are more than welcome to look in the lounge as it is self seating.. We we lucky to find a spot to accommodate 3. Our server started out friendly... more

I have visited several Moxies locations in the GTA over the years & it's clearly my favorite chain restaurant for many reasons. The first is the varied menu, they have items from asian inspired to North American fare such as burgers, wings, ribs,nachos; texmex & Indian(vindaloo is the bomb!); steaks which I've had a few different ones such as honey garlic steak, and recent holiday feature... more

I was here yesterday with a group for our gift exchange. I took off a couple stars because there are no reservations and the waiting area is quite small. We were told the wait would be 20 minutes but we ended up waiting for an hour. As more people came, the waiting area became very crowded and it was evident than a few of the servers were getting annoyed that there was little room. Several of... more

Nothing very special, but the food is good.

The service was friendly. The food was good. The daily drink deals was a nice touch. Unfortunately, cleanliness is an issue. The menu, table, seat and bathroom were messy. Table was cleared but was sticky. I was hesitant to touch the dirty menu.

There is no reception down in the basement of yorkdale at this moxie's location.

Came in here for a meal before some shopping, my cell phone had no reception (was not able to check in on yelp!) maybe it was my specific table, but I can't live without my phone. But the booths were good distances apart.

There was no lunch special, just the regular menu, a bit overpriced, and it did not taste... more

This place surprised me. Being in the basement of Yorkdale i thought it wouldnt be nice. Tried the peppercorn steak. And OMG the staff are all hot.

Located in the Yorkdale mall, there is entrance from inside the mall. You can either take the escalator or elevator down to the restaurant. This place reminded me a lot of Rockford restaurant I went to in BC. It's nicely decorated, modern and intimate. We originally planned on going to Joey's, but there was an hour wait there and no wait here at Moxie's.

The menu is pretty diverse offering... more

Went here for beers. Average sort of pricing for drinks.
The decor is pretty nice and the barman was good at his job.

Went here on a first date. Love the atmosphere. I like that you can go dressed up or casual. The food was good and hte service was friendly. Only a few downfalls. Didnt like how provocative the servers dressed, felt like I had to keep my date's attention. Also, my date wanted a certain dark ale, but they didnt have one, but said she had something similar, and brought a Canadian. He hated it.... more

The host asked me and my girl to seat ourselves, that's fine. But the restaurant was full and we had no clues what to do.
looked back at the waitress and she basically avoided us once she saw us looking at her.
We left without saying goodbye and guess what, me and my girl will never step into any Moxie, never.

Surprising bad quality for the restaurant, especially the fact it's in a great mall, Yorkdale. We sat at bar & left the first table as dirty & surrounding area dusty. Next table was dirty too but me & my guy ordered a drink. Their house Pinot Grigio is amazing. He ordered the euro beer & when he was almost done he found a white chunk in his draught. We told waitress she apologized & only comp'd... more

Been in here half a dozen times and never had a good steak yet. Avoid.

Called on Friday to get pricing for our office Christmas party and was told to send an email and someone would get back to me within 24 hours. It has been 4 days and I still have not heard from anyone. I called the restaurant this morning & spoke to a manager who said he would have the info to me within the hour. 4 hours later I still do not have the information and when I called back to... more

Second time coming here.

Worst. Customer. Service. Ever

Get there, the host was too busy talking to another girl for a few minutes, so me and my boyfriend just stood there awkwardly. She asked how many people, i said two. She said 10 minute wait. HAH! What a joke. I waited for literally 30 minutes. When it was our turn to get called up, the couple before us made a scene and took our place... more

Came here with my brother to watch the game and enjoyed great chicken wings and the house-brewed beer served by beautiful women in an upscale setting. Primo is a fan and would definitely return.

Apart from the nice ladies in slim dresses, the food has no importance, rememberal flare.

The Nacos, we're fantastic, the cheese was plentiful and the chicken on it was very tender. The burger, was just.....a burger; featuring all your normal burger toppings. The bun which was served on was kinda hard and flakey. Nor was that all, when our waitress brought our drinks her hair was in the drink.... more

It's pretty dirty in the kitchen. A sous chef was portioning the cooked pasta with his bare hands and the white chocolate brownies sit uncovered most of the day (collecting dust and sneezes). The smiling beautiful girls are complete b....s and a pain to work with.

Apart from the dark modern ambience of a gentlemen's club this place has really nothing going for it. Drinks are overpriced, the food is really overpriced and it's not even very good.

Your much better off at Pickle Barrel or even Milestones for that matter.

We were here last night (a group of 6). They seated us in a reasonable amount of time (we waited about 10 minutes or so).

If the review was based on food alone, I'd probably go up to 4 stars.

Food:
Avocado spring rolls - are soooo tasty
Tuna Tartare - another winner
(I'd probably give their apps 5 stars)

Mediterranean veggie burger - yummy
The enchiladas - also really tasty
Shanghai noodles... more

Came here for lunch after Milestones informed us that it would be a 45-90 minute wait for a lunch table for 6 people at 3pm on a Saturday. I'm so glad I came to Moxies instead. For one thing, they have an infinitely superior dessert menu. The white chocolate brownie is my favorite. I had the crab and brie sandwich and it was worth every gut busting calorie. Probably not what I'd order on a... more

Well-when the other choices at Yorkdale are Milestone's, Pickle Barrel or Rainforest Cafe, you figure Moxie's at least sounds cool.

So we had the loaded burger, and the chicken burger. Loaded burger was greasy, pretty decent, and quite filling. The chicken in the chicken burger, however, is that weird spongy, fake chicken. Gross. Hate that type of chicken by product.

We also shared an app... more

I call this my local because its within walking distance from my house and I have only been and will keep going for drinks because I dont see point in paying silly prices to eat when I can attempt to cook at home.
So for bar review only, there is not much room at the bar but since I like a glass of whiskey in the evenings I dont mind so much.
The bar staff are friendly, moxies i believe is... more

Smurf size portions with comparable pricing to many other in-class restaurants that have the same food quality and atmosphere but double the portion size. The food was good and the servers are pretty, but overall the value was 1/10. Pretty sad when you spend $60 on appy's and pasta dinner and walk away borderline hungry.

This was our first visit to Moxie's Yorkdale.
I ordered the honey garlic sirloin steak, medium rare. It arrived almost raw - blue rare. I sent it back and the server, Michelle, was very apologetic. Another steak came several minutes later (a fresh plate with fresh sides, even though I'd taken a bite of my first baked potato), and when I cut into it, it was cooked just slightly more than the... more

My family and I were spending the day shopping at Yorkdale and decided to visit Moxies as we have on many occasions in different areas of Canada.  The mall was fairly busy for a Saturday afternoon but not overly so.  On the way down the escalator with my wife and daughter we observed a few empty tables so we were completely unprepared to be told there would be a 20 minute wait to be seated.  I... more

I'm not a fan of Moxie's. Why? I'm not a fan of any restaurant that serves food and has low to no lighting. I feel like the darkness is that I don't see how bad the food is. Thankfully for Moxie's, I don't need to see it; I can just taste how bad it is. I've ordered their nachos and they were bland. I ordered a pasta dish and it was average. I've had dessert and even though the white chocolate... more

I have said one too many times that I will never go back to Moxies again. It's not just due to one specific location, but the overall lack of good experiences at any of the Moxies I've been to.I was at the Yorkdale location just this weekend to have dinner. Everything was going good until the food arrived. My friend had ordered a sirloin steak, medium rare. I took a look at the piece he was... more

This place isn't too bad for lunch, I have been to a Moxie's before and both times, the food has been decent and service OK.  We had a quick lunch before heading off shopping, the food took a bit before arriving though.  I got a portobello sandwich with yam frites and my friend got the shrimp pasta.Overall, the food was good, but still average for the price.  I would come back, but this isn't... more

Typical Moxie's with a nightclub - alcohol bottles everywhere you look- kind of atmosphere. The hostesses could improve, but their wardrobe needs even more improvement, especally the ladies (too much skin for my comfort).The food, however, is a lot better. I always order the Herb Chicken Alfredo which is yumm, but leaves yous with garlic breath.Don't even bother going here if you don't have a... more

Typical Moxie's night club atmosphere with dim lighting, coupled with waitresses in revealing outfits which some people might appreciate but I just find it uncomfortable. I always order the Herb Chicken Alfredo but it leaves you with garlic breath. The nachos are good too. It gets busy during dinner time, so it's not exactly my first choice unless I have a dinner group with reservations of course.

Moxie's is the type of place I take a girl on a date. The Yorkdale location definitely has a "grown and sexy" ambiance and is bigger than other Moxie's locations. The coat hooks attached to the booths are great, especially during the winter when you have multiple layers on plus a winter coat.  My lady friend and I were not that hungry so we had some apps and drinks. Sweet potato fries came with... more
