Editorial Review for Westville – by Allison Austin
The Scene
Neighbors have warmly embraced this big-city version of a small-town cafe, with its tile floor, closely spaced tables and low-key air--it's packed nightly. Easy laughter and boisterous conversation spill through the open front doors, where small groups wait for their turn.
The Food
The restaurant does fine business dishing out down-home plates of Niman Ranch organic hot dogs and charred corn with finger-licking cumin-lime-cotija cheese smothered on top, but the expertly grilled salmon on mixed greens, tossed with a perky mint-lemon-dill dressing, is surprisingly excellent. As are the daily "Westville Market" sides--beets with toasted walnuts, fresh asparagus and the like. Everything is indulgent and satisfying in a "Mom made it" way, from the BLT with thick bacon and probably too much mayo, to the blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream.

Insider Tips
When to GoIt's easily one of the best bargain brunches in the West Village. French toast is just $5, baked eggs and turkey hash is $6, and all the hot dogs, burgers and salads are available, too.
The ExtrasThe neighborhood's shady streets are perfect for an after-dinner stroll. And be sure to stop by Magnolia Bakery, another small-townish spot in the West Village, for a cute cupcake.

One of the few places I can order a rare burger for delivery and it comes rare (try accomplishing that with BLT Burger for instance,) and at a fraction of the price of other neighborhood options. They also have an accomodatingly large delivery area...they'll deliver to me when places much closer to me (Stand, for instance,) won't. Eating in is uncomfortable, but the wait staff always does their best and are friendly even when harried. Wish the farmers market options were changed more often -- they also tend to be salty. But the artichokes are great. So is the mac and cheese. So are the chicken tenders with hot sauce and salad. I could eat these all day.
Pros: Can order a burger rare for delivery and have it arrive at my house rare
Cons: Eating in is uncomfortable, waits are endless at times
