Moxies Dallas Uptown Restaurant — Restaurant in Dallas

Nice place but service could do way better. Time has passed but I went there during a weekend evening. Among other things my wife ordered an Aperol Spritz. The cocktail quality was poor, in the sense that there was almost no Aperol in it (easy to tell by the colour!) - no big deal if not that it won't taste great so we kindly asked for it to be topped up with more Aperol (she must have said the specific amount or so as they all understood each other easily - cannot recall perfectly now but I can say that my wife did some work as bartender in Italy). My wife also kindly said, "if I need to pay for it I am happy to", rather than being frank and say that it was just NOT the cocktail she asked for, but you know, people nowadays likes to be overly nice and eventually missing the point (our bad there!). Anyway, cocktail comes back perfect now and all good. When we get the check, two things I did not like, 1) that only at that point we are told that a default 20% tip is applied during weekends (a bit poor manners - just say it upfront if you care), and 2) that we got the cocktail top-up as a totally separate line item and at twice the cost of the single cocktail itself (say we got something like 16$ for the Spritz and other 30$ish for the top-up, maybe because counted as 2 shots or so).

Weekend evening with your wife at a late dinner, you tell me if you want to start arguing some nonsense and have a bitter evening or just let go and never come back. I chose the latter but time has passed and I almost forgot! Today, luckily for the place I got triggered by something and decided to spend 2 minutes of my time for this.

Bit of a waste, I live very close to it but hey....the money itself is the least as eventually could be considered fair to pay (fine - you want it your way, do it yourself at home!), it is the care that was missing. If you even just tell me, hey I want to let you know I will have to bill you for another extra 30$ for such thing or any other stuff you can come up with, I would just rhetorically say "no problem, I understand".

Food itself was alright, atmosphere was too crowded and noisy for my taste but that is very subjective, or I may be simply aging faster...

A great location for a Saturday night social get-together, meet and greet. The drinks were amazing, although a bit pricey. The food was pretty good. Had the blackened shrimp tacos. A lot of seasoning on the chips and the dish itself which made it too salty. Everyone who got steak bites raved over those. They couldn't split the bill so for a table of 6 you had to have one card. That required a lot of dividing up the bill and Cash-apping to one person.

The downside to having a party of 15 is they don't take reservations for parties over 6 on Friday; Saturdays; Sundays and the patio was closed. It was a little cold that night and they also don't do reservations for the patio. It's first come first serve. When we arrived 2 of us did separate reservations for 6. They put your phone number on the list and then you get a text message when your table is ready. We asked if we could sit together and they just could not accommodate us which kept our party separated for the greater duration of the night. Mind you the hostess put her request in and then the same girl put my co-workers request right after, but we sat at 2 different tables literally on different sides/areas of the restaurant separated by a wall. Even though there were like 5 tables next to mines that no one sat for any hour or so, there was a table of 5 empty, a table of 4 literally next to us that they set 2 people at when there was a table of 2 right behind us that they could have set them at. The couple was generous enough to let us take half of their table and push it over to our table of six. He stated that he "hated when they do that" as he frequented the restaurant.

Nevertheless, the ambiance is very beautiful. Aesthetically, the decor is very nice. Music was a little bit loud, but it made for a great going away celebration gathering.

I would recommend this place. You just have to be mindful of the number in your party if you're doing so on...

I would not recommend this location restaurant. They made the food look pretty to camouflage other failures in the kitchen.

I was invited to this location by a friend of mine. We all showed up here to grab an early dinner. We found a parking adjacent to the building. Our friends parked in the sub structure parking lot. We met up at the front door and the hostess quickly seated us inside the dining room area. After ordering drinks, we decided on our main entrees. We got the Chipotle Chicken and the salmon bowl salad. The presentation of all of the entrees was very nice. The three avocado slices appeared to be fresh cut as well as the cilantro. The quinoa wasn't mushy so that was a pass. The fresh lime wedge helped, but not much. The chicken on the other hand was dry and rubbery while trying to cut into it and eat it. Anytime chicken is dry and rubbery indicates that the cooking time and temperature was incorrect. The chicken was burned on the ends and a few surfaces on both entrees. The salsa fresco put on top of the chicken was not fresh at all. It's supposed to be similar to pico de Gallo where ALL of the ingredients are capable of being seen on the entree such as fresh cut tomatoes, onions, chile's, and cilantro. The three pieces of cilantro was tossed on top of the entree as decoration. This was an expensive meal that was treated like a fast food restaurant piece of chicken that was not worth the asking price for what is supposed to be an upscale dining experience. I thought I was on an episode of a cooking show and I was being pranked by the cooks. The salmon was just as bad... We came in here on a Saturday night just before dinner, so apparently the restaurant chef doesn't come on duty until later. If this dinner was served by the restaurant Chef, he should be fired for malpractice. All of our entrees were condemned to death for impersonation of a fine...
