We were a large group (18) and Aiden was very accommodating when we asked to change to an earlier reservation. Food was delicious but the alcohol could've come out faster (was a long day biking the 5 Boro!). Did separate checks which we very much appreciated. We'll be back next year!
I sat at the bar. The bartender was preoccupied, and not there to serve her clients. She was complaining with one of the waitress about being overworked. It was a miserable experience!

Perfect place to stop for brunch after running a 10k on Governor's Island. Everyone's food was fresh and tasty. We've done this twice, and we'll definitely do it again!

Usually Westville is my go-to whenever I visit friends in the city. Ordered my usual salmon teriyaki platter and my salmon was extremely raw. Disappointed to say the least that it's a challenge to cook a protein as simple as salmon.

Had lunch today at this place, My experience, was very positive! Staff was very accommodating! The food was good, and the service was fast! I ordered the veggie soup and the grilled chicken platter, and a soft drink for which I paid less than, what I thought the cost would be!

I don't even have words to describe my love for Westville!!!! This is hands down my most-ordered restaurant in all of NYC. I get it multiple times per week -- without fail. Everything is incredible here; whether you want something lighter like a salad or more indulgent like a cheeseburger, whether it's dinner or brunch... Westville has it ALL!!!! I also appreciate that they have rotating specials because it keeps the menu new and exciting (but with the peace of mind knowing that whatever you try is going to still be consistent and delicious). I usually get it delivered/takeout, but I've also dined it many times. I'm a big modifications girly, and they've always modified as requested! Salad-wise, my go-to used to be the kale salad with no pickled onions and sub the blue cheese to feta. I'd also add croutons sometimes (they're great). Lately I've been getting the Greek salad (with no olives and sub the dressing to lemon olive oil because I don't like dill). Their grilled chicken is simple yet soo delicious; I always add a side of that, too. The steak and salmon are also great. I'll often get the protein + 2 sides plates. Their vegetables are some of the best vegetables I've ever had haha; I usually get the mushrooms or the soy glazed green beans. The mashed potatoes are also yummy. THE FRIES!!!! OMG, THE FRIES!!! Some of my favorite fries in the city. So crispy and literally addicting!!! I get the plain ones; I actually like them more than the truffle ones. Their cheeseburger is also one of my favorites in the city (I get it with cheddar)! Thick and juicy with a nice grilled flavor, served on a Portuguese "muffin." Yummmm. Their hot dogs are good, too, if that's your thing (and they even have vegan ones). Brunch is also great! I get it delivered every weekend haha. I like the egg scramble plate or sandwich (I do egg whites with cheddar, scallion, and onion). The breakfast burrito is usually on the specials list, and it's delicious as well (and pro tip you can & should sub the home fries to regular fries). Haven't tried the waffle or challah French toast yet, surprisingly, but have heard good things! The grilled cheese isn't my absolute favorite because it's a little soft for my preference haha (I usually like a crispier grilled cheese). I also don't love the chicken tenders. But, those are my only to lesser-liked items lol. The atmosphere is casual, but you have a waiter/waitress, and there's usually a pretty good crowd (never seen it super empty). Can also be nice to sit outside when the weather is good! I LOVE YOU, Westville!!!!!! Hope the feeling is mutual ;)

solid spot that you can eat with a large party without having a resy in advance. not a lot of options for lunch but in some ways, it's better and makes your job easier :) no frills, quick spot to eat before hitting the lawn club nearby! they were quick to fill our coffee and waters. felt comfortable staying for an hour +

Three of my friends & I decided to come here to celebrate Easter after church. Downtown was fairly quiet on a Sunday and we were quickly seated at a table booth. The waitress came quickly to give us water and menu. She also took our order for drinks. The place is simple decorated and with ample space. Since weekends are made for brunches, I ordered the California Benedict. The food came within reasonable time and at our request, ketchup and hot sauce were brought. All the food were smashing and lickin' good. I love the hashbrown base with avocado & corn topped with 2 nicely packed runny eggs as they should be with a Sriracha hollandaise sauce. It doesn't get better than this. My friend ordered the health tea made of ginger, lemon, mint & cinnamon with side of honey. It looked and tasted not only healthy and warm. The service was great as the waitress checked in on us sporadically to set how we are doing and since it was quiet we were able to sit and enjoy the company even after we finish. This may be one of my fav weekend brunch stop when I'm in downtown.
Tourists, pay attention. VEGETABLES! Fresh vegetables!This is an excellent opportunity to step back from the overpriced restaurant and less-than-healthy food cart.
Absolutely terrific brunch. We had a couple specials (smoked salmon tartine, breakfast burrito), couldn't have asked for more. Super attentive staff.

Good Food, good service, warm and comfortable on a cold day. Busy but not packed. Very glad I went there. This Westville location was not as artsy looking as the Westville East in Alphabet City but otherwise it was a perfect choice for a Saturday Brunch. I had the Breakfast Burrito and totally enjoyed it. Hot and tasty with good coffee.
