He called me “darling” as soon as I stepped through the door. The dining room was dark, romantic, frozen-in-time. Moments later, while I sipped a perfect bittersweet Spritz, he reappeared to perform an Oscar-worthy recitation of the 15 dinner specials. Three times. The last time backwards from the bottom! He is the owner of Moxie, a very special Sacramento classic. Dear Reader, please ignore the paper menu and wait patiently for the specials one-man-show! Hopefully, the scrumptious crabcakes will be on the list. They come with four wildly colorful sauces – Green Basil, Pomegranate, Jalapeno Aioli, and Red Wine Vinaigrette – that you are improbably told to mix together. Dipped into that rainbow of flavors, the crabcake is like a celebration for your tastebuds complete with confetti cannons. But whatever you order at Moxie, the dining experience is unique, unforgettable, and satisfying.
