MOXIE Food + Drink

First time at Moxie on 12/30/25. I haven’t had such great service in years. The food was was delicious. My friend and I had the mushroom soup, excellent and a Cesar salad which was perfect. My entree was the seafood pasta. I was impressed by the ratio of seafood(shrimp, scallop and mussel) to pasta. Sauce seasoning delicious. We ordered wine. My Sauvignon Blanc was exceptional. I recommend reservations. Parking available on the street. Excellent service my the hostess and waitstaff. We will be back!

Moxie in Whitefish Bay was absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The drinks were flowing and expertly made, which really added to the overall experience. On top of that, the servers were incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Everything from start to finish was spot-on. Highly recommend Moxie if you’re looking for great food, great drinks, and great service!

I won't be back. I've only been to Moxie a couple of times & had mixed experiences, but my latest visit will be my last. I met a friend for an early, 5pm reservation. She was already sitting with water when I arrived. 15 minutes later no one had come by & I still didn't even have water. We had to flag someone down. Our server eventually came, took our drink & app order & share the specials. She noted that "French Onion" soup was the soup of the day. We received our cheeseboard & drinks, both of which were very tasty. However, nearly an hour had passed and still no soup nor had she stopped by so we could inquire. Eventually, I caught her attention & asked about the soups. She apologized and said she had "spaced." She returned moments later with two, tiny sad bowls of nothing but broth & onions. There was no bread, no cheese. It was onion soup, NOT French onion. I had to flag her down again & re-iterate that she said the special was "French Onion." She said 'yes, but our's is different." She then offered to put bread & cheese on the side. What?!? Then she took our bowls and said she would fix it. Moments later she came back with the same bowls with some croutons & parmesan sprinkles on top. Very disappointing all-around.

Really a great place. Obviously a lot of time and preparation goes into their food. Didn't have a single complaint. Place is very small, so make a reservation in advance!

Excellent food and great service in a fun spot in Whitefish Bay. Loved the various choices especially the appetizers and chicken picatta but the dessert was the best great options including Simma’s cheesecake.

I moved to Whitefish Bay two years ago. This is a great place for patio lunches and night caps. The salmon is amazing and the burger is great too. Staff is friendly, consistent, and always know your name. I go in dressed up, tshirts and jeans during happy hour, and sneak “as is” during Last Call, and I’m never out of place. The crowd is always wonderful.

I heard a lot of great things about Moxie, and am a huge fan of Trouble and Sons, so was excited to finally try this place. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. Service was a little slow, and our entrees were mostly lukewarm. My red snapper was dry, as was the risotto. The braised short ribs did not fall off the bone, but rather were also a little dry. The house salads were ok, but would have preferred the cucumbers and tomatoes be sliced instead of diced. On the upside, the cream of broccoli soup was amazing and the dishes as a whole were flavorful. Our lemon drop martinis were tasty, but the dirty martini had a tad too much olive juice, but was also tasty. The atmosphere was quaint, cozy and warm. Despite being disappointed, I would be willing to give Moxie another try.

Great atmosphere and quality food. All dinners are $18 and up. The Whitefish was average... was missing something. Blueberry Lemon cake and drinks were very good. This is quite a small restaurant inside, there is some outdoor seating but it will fill up fast during peak times. Nice location just east of Bayside mall, it’s a nice walkable area anywhere near the restaurant.
