A weird night at Moksa.....

A weird night at Moksa.....

This was our fifth visit to Moksa, with each meal seeming to be better than the last. The food is amazing, thoughtful and delicious. We have brought a bottle of wine with us each time we've dined here. They charge a small corkage fee which we are happy to pay. We feel good about supporting vegan/vegetarian chefs and always enjoy the kindness of the staff, the ambiance, even the dogs in the parking lot are delightful.

Unfortunately, last night one of the staff members explained to us that while it was "ok" to bring wine, that we should "hide it from the other guests" because if they saw it they would "ask why they couldn't bring it." He insisted that we put our wine bottle on the floor, and continued to explain that "they are a healthy restaurant." After sufficiently shaming us for our choice to drink wine, he opened the bottle and happily brought us two wine glasses.

Dinner was even less enjoyable as there was a group of loud children running riot through the restaurant (bad luck on our part). Alas, staff took no action to address the noise and were generally invisible except when delivering food or telling us that they were about to close.

The food...amazing. The experience....bewildering. The wine?...a hassle. Overall I was just disappointed, as we have come to love this restaurant. We may go back, but certainly not with the same enthusiasm as before.
