Moxies Boston Seaport Restaurant

Moxies on Congress Street has two levels of dining and bar space, plus an upper-level outdoor patio overlooking the waterfront. Its broad menu makes a group meal fairly easy to organize: one person can order blackened shrimp tacos, another a cheeseburger and another a steak. Lunch, dinner and weekend brunch give you several ways to work it into a Seaport day.

Steaks come with potatoes and seasonal vegetables, while sandwiches include a thin-sliced sirloin option with arugula, cheese and horseradish aioli. The location is near Leader Bank Pavilion, which makes it an option before a show if you leave enough time to eat. Reserve ahead for a planned dinner and ask about patio availability when booking.
