Moxie is closed.

The sign in the window of the restaurant announced the closure on June 6. It says chef/owner Ian Wingate is closing the eight-year-old downtown Spokane restaurant due to personal health issues. (A previous incarnation of the Asian fuision restaurant opened in Liberty Lake starting in 1998.)

I was unable to reach Wingate in a quick round of phone calls this morning.

No word on his partnership with Agave Latin Bistro owner Sergio De Leon.

I hope that Wingate's health issues are not serious and he's back in the Spokane restaurant scene soon.
