A few months ago Brooklyn Heights Blog noted the impending arrival of a new “family-friendly” restaurant on Atlantic and Hicks called The Moxie Spot by wondering whether Chuck E. Cheese had anything to worry about. As it turns out, they might. Moxie, which opened a few days ago, takes up two large floors at 81 Atlantic and its decor is industrial chic meets kiddie restaurant (so: exposed vents, brick walls, large-screen TVs and dedicated play areas). The menu is heavy on comfort food, featuring stuff like nachos ($5.95), cheesesteaks ($6.25), and burgers ($4.75) as well as some more grown-up options, such as broiled fish with white wine lemon butter ($13.00) and mussels mariniere ($11.00). The restaurant is open from 8 in the morning until 9:30 at night.
