My wife and I had an incredible dinner experience last night, thanks to Mark who took exceptionally good care of us! The service was superb from start to finish. All the food was outstanding. We enjoyed the most delicious crab cake, beet salad, filet mignon, and scallops! Every dish was unbelievably tasty, with perfect portion sizes at reasonable prices. We are really looking forward to returning again and again. The combination of excellent food and service will definitely bring us back! Thank you to the Shooters staff for a fantastic dinner and date night!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for the evening. The decor strikes the perfect balance between modern and cozy, with soft lighting and thoughtfully arranged seating that encourages relaxation and conversation. The food was nothing but perfect al the dishes was sharable and each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was impressive without being pretentious. The service was another highlight. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. Whether you’re looking for a spot for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or just a great meal out, Moxie is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!
