A New Classic on Lower QA
Monday, January 16, 2006
Moxie has all the right components to become a new standby on Lower Queen Anne. The chef/owner duo cut their teeth at Matt's and Chez Shea, and have brought some of the better qualities of both those eateries to Moxie.
The standard menu looked good (we tried a prix fixe on New Years Eve), and the wine list is solid. Service was great, and the decor of the place gives one a sense of intimacy without being stuffy. Although moderately priced for a white table cloth style dining experience, it would be easy to spend more than you planned. Regardless, its a great date place.
Moxie is in the right place at the right time, and will definitely appeal to the theater crowd. Although its been easy to get a table early on, I suspect that evenings before highbrow events at the Seattle Center will be busy. Plan a dinner after eight or on off-nights if you don't make reservations.
