It's a little of this, a little of that and a whole new take on Italian.
Our story is simple. Everything we can make fresh daily, we do. Including our hand-stretched mozzarella (made-to-order every day between 5pm & 11pm), our pasta, our signature 1/2 lb meatballs, our dough, bread and desserts.

The service was excellent. We were running late and they switched our booking straight away. The food came as requested and was delicious. The only downside was that the desserts were primarily chocolate based. Maybe a fruit dessert would have been a great addition.

Wide tables and comfortable seating means lots of space for food, but not as intimate for sitting close on a date. The candlelight, soft colours, and overall colours make for a cool, subtle upscale experience. The decor does well to counterbalance the overstimulation of being in such an enthusiastic volume of other diners. Delicious desserts (carmelized cheesecake and the seasonal pecan tart were great), and the plant-based options are a blessing for vegetarian diners. Pay attention that the V on the menu means the dish can be made vegetarian, but does not seem to be inherently vegetarian. Mention your food restrictions up front! Staff were polite with great memories, and checked in, but were not nosy. It struck a good balance. Paying is an atypical touchscreen but smooth. Bathroom doors are very heavy without automation, so heads up for accessibility concerns.

Always enjoy dining at Moxie's. Our server was awesome - super friendly, welcoming and gave us our space while we enjoyed our evening. We ordered nachos, pot stickers, cashew chili chicken bites and truffle fries - everything was great tasting.

Rec Room is a good place for hang out and arcade games. However services are little slow. Food quality is okay, not that great. Overall not so good or not so bad experience, so it’s an average place for the hangout.
