Moxie's Spirits and Dining is a few miles outside downtown. Its panoramic view of the city serves as reason enough to get out of the casinos and see Reno from a different angle. In an upscale hill-top neighborhood, the restaurant has three areas: a bar, an indoor dining area, and a patio dining area. The patio is where the view is, but the tastefully decorated interior makes the indoor areas just as enjoyable. For an appetizer, try their steamers, and for your entrée, try Chicken Marsala or their blackened Salmon. Although the service is inconsistent, there are plenty of other reasons that make Moxie's a popular hangout place. Lunch and dinner are offered daily, and breakfast is offered only on weekends. - Hoiyin Ip
