The Canada-based food and beverage concept has been a leader in upscale, casual dining and hospitality for more than 30 years and is now bringing its high-quality food and drink offerings to Old Town Scottsdale with its first Arizona location, which is bound to be a go-to social destination where guests can mingle over delicious bites in an energetic, modern-chic atmosphere.
Perfectly poised to accommodate locals, out-of-town diners and Scottsdale cocktail connoisseurs, the expansive and inviting 12,000-square-foot restaurant hosts up to 350 people and features an indoor/outdoor space centered around a large island bar, as well as an open lounge space and shaded patio with misters for warm days and fire tables and heaters for when the temps dip.
Guests can enjoy socializing over creative cocktail bites along with cheering on their favorite teams in the bar area and welcoming lounge, which boasts more than 20 LED TVs. Other notable design elements include lush indoor greenery, whimsical wallpaper, neutral tones throughout and gold fixtures and accents.
Moxies Scottsdale’s culinary program is led by Executive Chef Brandon Thordarson, who has brought his passion and knowledge of the brand to curate a globally-inspired menu that features artfully-crafted, fresh dishes that are all made in-house.
The restaurant’s signature menu items include the Tuna Sushi Stack made with sushi grade tuna, seasoned rice, avocado, mango, soy ginger glaze, spicy mayo and seasoned prawn crackers; the Salmon & Avocado Cobb Salad prepared with crisp Iceberg lettuce, bacon, soft boiled egg, feta, ranch sun-dried tomato dressing and rustic croutons; the Steak Bites, made with marinated sirloin and horseradish aioli; and the Chipotle Mango Chicken featuring house-made chipotle seasoning, lemon quinoa, seasonal vegetables, avocado and salsa.
Moxies Scottsdale also offers a wide selection of margaritas and handcrafted cocktails, along with a sommelier-curated wine list that expertly pairs with the food offerings. Guests can additionally indulge in delicious desserts, including the Mile High Mocha pie and Key Lime Pie, all crafted fresh in-house.
