FORUM SUMMARY:
Property Situation:
This project is located on the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Main Street in Southlake
Town Square.
Development Details:
The purpose of this item is to gain approval of a site plan that includes the combination of an
existing restaurant space (formerly Café Express) and adjoining retail space (HMK) into a single
9,643 square foot full-service restaurant.
Moxie’s is a restaurant that serves New American food and cocktails in a comfortable and upscale
environment. The owner expects the maximum percentage of gross revenue from the on-premise
sales of alcoholic beverages to be approximately 35%. Moxie’s currently has two locations, one
in Dallas and one in Houston Texas. The Southlake location will employ 150 people and will be
open from 11am – 1am Thursday thru Saturday and 11am – Midnight Sunday thru Wednesday.
The existing kitchen space will be expanded to serve a maximum capacity of 403 guests. In
addition to a remodel of the interior of the space, the proposal includes repainting the exterior of
the two spaces, upgrade and expand the height of exterior glazing (windows) and highlight the
entries with painted stucco finish. The existing patio area will also be renovated to create a canopy
covered dining space and landscaped area (1,339 square feet). The proposed canopy will be
opaque with a portion of the structure having operable louvers. The canopy will not be enclosed
but the owner will operate heaters in cold weather.
