With the largest menu selection of any restaurant in the premium casual category, impeccable service by staff who love playing host and are proud of their product, and an ambiance that is perfect for everything from a business lunch to a get-together with friends or a romantic dinner for two, Moxie’s Classic Grill certainly lives up to its motto: Whatever you’re in the mood for!

“What I love about our company,” says Pat Farrell, Moxie’s B.C. Regional Manager, “is that we’re all about great people serving fabulous food in an upbeat, stylish environment. People can experience us any way they want, and always know that they’re getting excellent value from top to bottom, whether it’s at the casual end of the menu, with burgers and sandwiches, or the more upscale end, with steaks and seafood.”

Crafting a menu that will hit the spot at any time of the day or night is an ongoing labour of love for Moxie’s executive chefs, Lloyd Frank and John Humphreys, a world-class team whom Farrell credits with constantly surprising and delighting an in-house tasting panel that helps fine-tune every dish before it makes the cut. The result is an array of succulent choices that should satisfy any appetite. Trademark dishes include classic steaks, always AAA grain-fed Alberta Beef aged 28 days for superior flavour and tenderness, and fresh wild salmon, and fittingly for a company that began in Western Canada, the wine list emphasizes the best of the Okanagan. Vegetarians will find plenty to chose from — like the Three Dip Med Bread or the Quesadilla with Pineapple Salsa — and most menu items can be modified for those watching their consumption of carbohydrates. There are four Vancouverarea Moxie’s Classic Grill restaurants — at Bute and Robson in the downtown core, on Davie Street in the West End, on West Georgia at Cambie near GM Place, and on West Broadway near Burrard on the west side —plus three other Lower Mainland venues in Richmond, Guildford and Langley. In addition to our diverse menu, Moxie’s also places strong emphasis on having stylish rooms with quality designs based on the philosophy of being real. Moxie’s focus is on real finishes such as granite, slate, wrought iron and rich woods throughout each location. It all adds up to what we like to call “an affordable slice of luxury.”
