Inspired by the diners of the northeast, whose menu had a little bit of everything and was heavily influenced by Greek cuisine—because, let’s face it, the majority were owned by Greek immigrants—the menu’s attractiveness was the diversity in its offerings. From Italian specialties to delicatessen classics, there were no rules or borders regarding types of cuisine, just a variety of options that have left many transplants and generations longing for just a glimpse of what once was.
An eclectic revolving menu of home-style specials, comfort food, fun spins on classics with beer and future spirit pairings, and an extensive wine list make The Food Republic a foodie’s paradise where comfort and a feeling of belonging are our mission.
Warm wood tones, deep, comfortable benches, and an array of worldly and whimsical art welcome you while our oversized tables encourage sharing and enjoying the moment and the company as much as our menu offerings.
We welcome you to The Food Republic.

    Had an amazing time. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the meats are grilled to perfection. The buffet was quite delicious. I would recommend a different music selection, the music was similar to bar music, it could have brought the ambience level down. Otherwise a lovely place to dine.

    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!
