Food is amazing, staff is amazing, Atmosphere is amazing! I ordered the cornbread, fresh out of the skillet it was warm, flavorful and delicious. The bean spread on toast was also yummy. LOVED the wild boar meatballs! Will definitely return

If you're visiting from out of town this is an excellent place to visit in Portsmouth.
The owner and chef Matt Louis, who was named a semifinalist for the James Beard award a couple years ago, occasionally runs food to the tables and is quite entertaining if he has a second to chat before returning...

As a chef I am rarely impressed with a restaurant from top to bottom but moxie had it all. Excellent mojito, interesting wines, great waiter and exceptional food. The bluefish, bone marrow, mushroom noodles and more were incredible. Thanks for being there.

Good service, cute atmosphere, but don't you hate it when you spend almost $40 and are thinking about getting another bite to eat somewhere else on your way out? Prices are a bit too high for these tapas and taste-wise I have certainly been more satisfied with other locales.

Moxy is a foodie's staple.
The food is fresh and explodes with flavor. There are many options to suit any palette.

Tonight's meal started with the Roasted Farmers Carrots with beet relish, crispy onion, Chevre, and maple tarragon vinaigrette. It was unbelievable!!!

For dinner my wife ordered ...

Ridiculous selection of small plates that is always changing to incorporate fresh, local ingredients. The cocktail list is also constantly evolving and has something for everyone. You can tell when you dine here the amount of love and effort that goes in to each dish. Highlights: New England Dinner ...

This place is an American tapas style restaurant with DELICIOUS offerings. Definitely take advantage of their $1 refills for house made sodas. Their menu rotates a lot, but if any kind of ribs are on the menu, you'll want to try them. Also their assortment of puddings dessert is quite tasty! Friendl...

Went here for a final anniversary/birthday with my girlfriend before we went off to college.
Staff was amazingly excellent, they treated us so well, and the food was beyond imaginable. I had never experienced a Tapas style restaurant, and after this, I can't wait to come back!

I had a wonderful experience with this restaurant. I was visiting the area and needed to find out details about the restaurant beforehand. I corresponded with Owen who answered all of my questions and set me up perfectly to be able to order take out from them with the menu of the day. The results we...

Visited Portsmouth on a Monday night recently and was very pleased with my experience at Moxy. It was a quiet night, the bartender was open to chat and friendly, and the service was fast. Enjoyed the "build your own drink" element. I had the potato gnocchi with apple/ricotta/honey and it was excelle...

Food wasn t good. Heirloom tomatoes had no flavor, pork belly was overcooked and tough, lamb stew was so unseasoned I had to add a teaspoon of salt, but still had no depth of flavor. Haddock was fine but wasn t interesting or memorable in any way.

Really impressive. I saw several awards for James Beard Semifinalist. How the chef was not the winner, I don't know.

All of the dishes were well presented and easy on the eyes. The flavors were bold but balanced from the starters to the main dishes all the way through to the decadent desserts.

Go to Moxy! Right now, go! Or son took us there on a recent trip to Portsmouth. Great mixed drinks. And those amazing American food tapas. All of them were excellent. I particularly liked the calamari. Most of the time, calamari in restaurants is tasteless and you dip them in aioli to taste some...

Got a chance to visit beautiful Portsmouth NH. What a beautiful chill city! Moxy was probably one of the best places I have eaten thus far. Each dish was full of flavor and everything on the menu was just amazing. I can definitely see why this place won a James Beard award.

There was absolutely NOTHING we didn't thoroughly enjoy. I wish I had more to tell than "it was incredible", but it was so overwhelmingly good that there just aren't words. You would be doing a disservice to yourself if you didn't pop in, and give them a try.

An American tapas bar that serves locally sourced food & drinks. Moxy can also essentially make anything gluten free as they have separate gluten free flour and are aware of cross contamination. It's a cozy location for a date night or a small group outing.

Food is always phenomenal. Their award winning chef is always coming up with new and delicious plates. It's best to get many plates and share so you can try all of it. Johnny cake community is my favorite dish! Moxy is my favorite restaurant in Portsmouth. It's not the cheapest but still reasonable...

Unique eats and friendly service! So many places do patatas bravas the wrong way, but not here. They were fresh and delicious. The beef short rib marmalade was bursting with different flavors. The restaurant was pretty busy... however the bartender was very attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere t...

Came in with high expectations, but didn t live up to the expectations. Service wasn t very quick or friendly and for a James beard nominated chef way to many things came out of a fryer, including the brussel sprouts, fish, and potato dishes. Waiter didn t seem too knowledgeable as he couldn t even ...
