    This Moxies is a reliable and tasty place to go in the downtown core. It manages to shake off its potential 'chain restaurant' vibe through great service and solid culinary offerings. ALSO, it's SO convenient for pre or post show dining when taking in a show at Neptune. Bravo, Moxies friends.

    Just left Orso on Brunswick St. Halifax for a valentines dinner with another couple. Service was top notch and we tipped accordingly. I had the Caesar salad and Calabrese pizza. I would give the salad a 7.5 and the pizza a 9/10. Others had pasta dishes. All very delicious and flavoufull, especially the pasta with mushrooms and gargonzola. The guacamole onion rings were just ok. Service was fast and not a detail to be missed. We were very impressed and will be back

    Took my Mom there for dinner. Been many times and Moxies never disappoints. I had the Shrimp Tacos. Amazing! And Mom had the Chicken Rigatoni. She loved it. And she also had a red wine sangria. That was really good as well. Delicious!
