"Second time for dinner there with my wife and daughter. The place is always well kept, well lit, and well decorated. Noise level was okay and the live musician wasn't too loud from where we were sat. The food is always excellent. Last time I was there, I got a burrata ravioli dish that was delicious. This time I got skirt steak as my entree and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also ordered a corn poblano chowder that was great. I don't remember my wife's orders, but she really enjoyed them. We were a bit disappointed in our waiter this time out. He wasn't particularly friendly or warm. Perhaps it was a long day and he may have been new, but he definitely could've been a bit more engaged. We were not given a list of specials (perhaps there weren't any) and we had to ask to see the dessert tray. We ordered a cheese board and were not told what each cheese was. For $30, they could tell you. I'm not sure if that's a waiter issue or just how they do it as Rum Runner. My wife is slightly allergic to blue cheese and it would've been great if I could've known which one it was. We also ordered the $6 bread app. I'm okay with paying for bread which really amounts to 5 rolls or so because they normally come with cinnamon butter, a fig jam, and oil. However when our order arrived, there was only oil and butter that was in those little rectangular packets. I asked about the butter and fig jam and was told they were out of both. 2 things. 1. Whipped cinnamon butter can't take more than 2 minutes to make. You mix cinnamon and butter and whip it. Whatever. Maybe it's not made in house for some reason. 2. It would've been nice to have been told about this beforehand. I might have ordered something else. He could've also told us when he brought the order over. I shouldn't have had to ask. A $6 comp would've gone a long way there. Otherwise, we had a very good meal. We'll be back again but if this would've been my first time here, I might go elsewhere next time."

"Reduced to tears on my birthday! What a horrid experience. I foolishly invited 10 friends to Moxies for my birthday celebration. We are a mature group of 55 65yr old professionals who eat out pretty much every day. The service was horrendous...we had to keep sending somebody into the restaurant for service, water, drinks etc. Things deteriorated quickly after we paid the check and then decided to order coffees. Matthew (manager? suddenly appeared, leaned down on the table and told us he needed us to leave straight away as they needed our table for another party just as our coffees arrived! It seems he didn 't like being undermined by the server who told us we were fine to stay, they had another table nearby which they quickly set up. All good. Then the server offered us more drinks so a couple of our party ordered Espresso Martinis. She lost the order and so our drinks took about 30 minutes to arrive and were comped. As soon as our drinks arrived Matthew also reappeared with 2 or 3 security guards and again demanded that we leave as we weren 't spending enough at that point!!! We had paid our check and left a hefty tip which I requested be returned after the rudeness from him. He refused. We told him we wanted to finish our drinks and then we would leave ASAP. Immediately, he got on his radio and we found ourselves surrounded by security staff and other managers . My night was ruined, we were intimidated and embarrassed. The staff refused to clear our table which was covered with glasses, plates, left over food etc. My friend asked many times for them to please clear the table to which Matthew replied that it was not company policy to clear the table while guests were still seated! In the end, I moved all of the debris to another empty table and cleaned the table myself. On my birthday! We will never return to Moxies, which is a pity because we are locals and have been regular patrons since they opened. The evening was ruined. A nightmare."

"WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! DESPICABLE TO SAY THE LEAST!!!I've dined at numerous restaurants across the globe, and my experiences have varied greatly. I've encountered some truly exceptional ones, several that were just average without any standout moments, and unfortunately, a few truly awful ones. One of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had was at the Moxies Dixon Road Restaurant, located at 55 Reading Ct, Etobicoke, Toronto, Canada.A few months ago, I visited this establishment for lunch and specifically requested a quiet area within the restaurant. To my dismay, I was seated there without a server attending to my table for nearly an hour, despite my repeated attempts to get their attention.Even when they finally served my lunch, there was no staff member in sight throughout my meal and after I had finished. After concluding my meal, I even used the restroom and could have left without settling the bill. However, I decided to go to the entrance and pay my bill, almost as if I were in a fast-food joint. A polite young woman working there apologized profusely for the horrendous experience, and I left, thinking it might have been a one-time occurrence.Unfortunately, my optimism was shattered during a recent visit just two days ago, an experience that still leaves me and my guests in disbelief.We commenced our evening with an order of chicken wings, hoping for a delightful evening. As the server was about to place the dish on our table, it slipped, causing a piece to fall on the floor and splattering BBQ sauce on my clothing. To our astonishment, the server merely chuckled at his mishap, dropped the plate without any apology, and walked away. We managed to clean up some of the mess from the spill and sought the assistance of another staff member, requesting to speak with a manager.This is where the nightmare truly began. The manager, who introduced himself as Aizaz Butt, arrived with a single chicken wing on a plate and carelessly dumped it onto our table, displaying a disrespectful attitude that even animals don't deserve.Shocked and appalled, we expressed our belief that the least he could do was offer an apology or replace the contaminated plate. He responded rudely, questioning whether it was merely one piece of chicken that had fallen to the ground. His defensive demeanor, with both hands in his pockets, left us even more stunned.In response, we decided to leave and requested that the receptionist summon the manager. Another staff member, a young man, arrived, also with hands in pockets, and claimed to be aware of the situation. However, he offered no apologies, didn't inquire about our names, and seemed eager to usher us out of the restaurant. We asked for his card and departed, utterly disgusted.The only individual who extended an apology was the young lady at the reception, and it was clear that she was as taken aback as we were by the treatment we received and the manager, Alex Molina's, uncooperative and unwelcoming attitude. This was an absolutely abysmal dining experience, to say the least!"
