The Scene
If it's possible to twist, heighten or sculpt an ingredient into an unnatural pose, Moxie will do it. But these flirtatious and showy plates aren't just eyecandy with no flavor substance to back them up. Frequented by upper-class Midtowners; expect to spend $100 for two including wine. This isn't a casual drop-in eatery. Also, service at Moxie can be erratic at times, and the regulars seem to be tended to more solicitously than the new faces.
The Food
Exotic specials and an eclectic array of infusions such as the boldly flavored Thai chicken pasta, redolent of curry and lemon grass, with tender strips of chicken; and the crab pot stickers with a sweet spicy sauce, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
What to Order
Rock shrimp quesadillas; the colorful and cheery cheesecake.
What to Skip
The meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
