Went for a date night with my boyfriend and we got the server sig and he was AMAZING if you have him as your server you will be leaving happy, great food and fantastic service from sig!!! And the wings and shrimp tacos were SO GOOD
Delicious food and the girls (host & waitresses) are very sweet and courteous
Our food was delicious and wait staff was very attentive. I loved that the guacamole came with not just tortilla chips, but also my favorite type of Terra chip.
After a very successful first experience in this restaurant for dinner, I reiterated my experience with a delicious cocktail (passion fruit mai tai) which, moreover, was really cheaper and better than elsewhere! I really recommend this place, the interior is pretty and comfortable, the outdoor patio accepts dogs but it is also really pleasant since it is half sunny, half shaded and also has a sofa and trendy music! 😎😍
Ordered off a deliver app and the ribs I got were a bit dry. I called moxies and asked if anything could be done. They gave me a few options and remade my meal. It’s delicious and the ribs are perfect!

They went above and beyond with their customer service and even added a brownie bite I was not expecting.

Thank you moxies for the great customer service and really good food! I will be back :)
Conveniently located, this establishment offers delicious food and a friendly staff.

While there was a minor issue with finding a hair in my sister’s drink, they promptly replaced it, demonstrating thoughtfulness. However, they didn’t remove it from the bill as a gesture.

Overall, the ambiance and service were good.

If you’re visiting Victoria, it’s worth a try, but be cautious about the hair incident.😉
Mid afternoon . The food was delicious. The server was pleasant . Beer cold. Establishment clean.
But had the feeling the place was just marking time. Weird.

We stopped in before a movie at the Odeon. I ordered the heat seeker burger, but when it arrived, it had no crispy jalapeños as advertised on the menu. I waited over 10 mins for the waitress to come back to the table, and I let her know the burger was missing items. She brought it back to the kitchen and came back to our table with literally one single crispy jalapeño on it (see photo). We had ordered calamari as well when the waitress originally took my burger back to the kitchen, and when it showed up less than 10 mins later, it had a bunch of the crispy jalapeños! Lol. At least it was a good laugh, but seriously, how petty does the chef have to be here.

Went there to watch the second half of World Cup final. It was very crowded but they still had a few tables to accommodate us. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. We ordered Chorizo & Egg Taco and Eggs&toast. Our server, Elaine, was really nice and helpful. She helped to change the food a bit. They did not have any deserts in their morning menu, since we craved some sweet stuff she managed to serve us chocolate truffle cake which was nice. Pleasant experience.
Came here last Thursday and everyone was so friendly. There were 2 people at the host desk that were very nice. I sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice. I think there was a shift change happening at some point and the next bartender I got was super friendly and helpful as well. I got his awesome recommendation on a really tasty sour beer and I asked his recommendation on a good patio to check out. I would definitely come back here.
Being a chain restaurant, I really didn't have high expectations. I was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience! Nice clean atmosphere, great wait staff, and surprisingly delicious food. I had the spicy chicken sandwich with truffle fries, and would definitely come back again for more. Is it the most unique restaurant I've ever been to? No. But the consistency of food and service would certainly bring me back again!

Service was friendly and had a nice casual atmosphere. Important to note that the happy hour menu listed on their website is NOT the happy hour menu you are given in-person! It seems they also now have Taco Tuesdays, so all of the tacos were 3.50ea. Good value at that price, but I imagine I would have been underwhelmed had I paid full menu price 😬
Place permanently closed.

====================================

I have now visited this place so many times that I can leave a solid review about it. In my heart this place is the true definition of a 4★ experience.

Beer selection, solid, nothing fancy, you gonna find something you like for sure. Are you going to find that special beer you've been looking for? Most likely not.

Food, solid. Whenever we are in a big group with multiple dietary restrictions, we come here as we can always find something for everyone. Yet none of the menu items alone stand out as the best in town for their category.

Service, solid. This of course changes depending on the server, how busy the place is and/or if there's an event going on. But overall I had 95%+ positive experiences. Yet none of them truly memorable.

A big thing they get is different nights for events, like sports events, trivia night and others things of the sort.
One of the worst service we have ever received in any bar in Victoria.
The server was very mean and we hard time to speak to her regarding the menu. Her attitude was the same for the guys sitting at the next table too. Clearly can't understand why this place hires serves like this.
Beer 🍻 options are more and tastes good.
Food was average.
Limited street parking is available, and the place is busy on weekends.

A nice place to grab some drinks some food and hang out with friends. They host trivia night which is fun and also difficult. The prices are okay and also the restaurant has the interesting concept of towers(1.5L) to serve beer, that is really interesting and cool. The service was not fast but not too slow. It is a clean place and the washrooms are clean as well.
Great ambience and service. The happy hour tacos and tableside guac are delicious, and I really enjoy their house brew. I am a huge fan of the Beef Vindaloo which is just the right amount of spice and richness.

Update: Still a fan of the Vindaloo. Had wings and they were super good as well. A little pricey, but delicious.
