History
Moxie's began as a small deli and diner in Calgary in 1986, before transforming itself into a premium casual dining restaurant and lounge in 1998. Following recent economic and development booms, Moxie's has begun opening new locations rapidly. Their niche is providing clients with an upscale experience compared to their competition, with their bathrooms even being luxurious. The decor, menu, and style of a Moxie's Classic Grill are reminiscent of a downtown lounge / bar with a menu focus on fusion cuisine that utilizes innovative ideas and fresh ingredients; and an upscale, urban and metropolitan atmosphere. The restaurant is split into two separate areas: A dining area, and a lounge. "Moxie Girls" working in the lounge section follow a strict dress code. Due to their concept, Moxie's has been enjoying substantial growth and success, and it has become a chic and upscale alternative to mainstays such as Jack Astor's and Alice Fazooli's.
In December 2006 Moxie's expanded its brand to include CHOP Steak, Fish & Bar and opened the first location in Edmonton, Alberta. CHOP has since been rebranded as Chop Steakhouse & Bar and has locations in Edmonton, Kelowna, Richmond, Winnipeg, Calgary, and their first Eastern Canada location opening November 2012 in Toronto, Ontario.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
