Story & Atmosphere
Welcome to Westville Chelsea, a vibrant culinary gem nestled in the heart of Chelsea, New York City. Here, the philosophy is simple: serve delicious, wholesome food made from genuine ingredients that celebrate the essence of healthy eating without sacrificing flavor. As a food reviewer fortunate enough to experience this lively spot, I can assure you that Westville Chelsea beautifully marries quality with a welcoming atmosphere.
The restaurant's design is both bright and clean, offering a cozy space where you can unwind with friends or conduct business meetings. Ettore Michelin, a satisfied customer, emphasized how perfect the environment was for his vegetarian client lunch, noting the attentiveness of the staff and the cheerful demeanor of bartender Jess. Indeed, the warmth and friendliness of the team contribute significantly to the enjoyable dining experience.
At Westville Chelsea, the menu is brimming with options that cater to various tastes—vegetarians and meat lovers alike will find something to delight their palate. The restaurant prides itself on using fresh, healthy ingredients, as noted by diners like Zoe, who lauded the quality of food even for deliveries, reinforcing Westville's reputation as a weekday canteen. I personally found the fried chicken sandwich heavenly—crispy and juicy with just the right balance of seasoning.
The drink selection is equally inviting. HAYNES MN praised the spicy margarita while celebrating a friend's birthday on the patio, enjoying the lovely NYC breeze that perfectly complemented their dining experience. Although some diners, like Tommy Wu, suggested improvements on the protein dishes, the vegetable sides, such as pesto mashed potatoes and roasted cauliflower, stole the show with their exquisite flavors.
Whether you opt for a hearty Cobb salad or a cozy brunch affair, the portions are generous without breaking the bank, making Westville Chelsea a fantastic choice for meals at any time of the day. Mark McGuinness mentioned how swiftly the food arrived and how satisfied his group felt after their Sunday brunch, and I couldn’t agree more with his sentiment.
In conclusion, Westville Chelsea isn’t just a place to grab a meal; it’s a sanctuary for food lovers seeking fresh and flavorful dishes within a welcoming setting. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to experience not only the delectable food but also the charming atmosphere and attentive service that makes every meal memorable.
“ I took a client from Supp who is a vegetarian for lunch at Westville | Chelsea, and it was just the perfect decision. Aside from the meeting going well, the space is bright and clean, and the servers are attentive and present. We sat at the bar, so shout out to the bartender, Jess—personable, smiley, and fun! The menu has many options with genuine healthy ingredients, which is not always easy to find in NYC. I picked the soup of the day as a light lunch, and it was really yummy! See you soon :) ”
“ We Celebrated our friend's Bday, and the fuss the staff made over his Bday added to everything being wonderful. Mother Nature was on our side and we sat outside, enJOYing an amazing breeze with our delicious food. The spicy Margarita could have had a lil more tequila in it but other than that the meal was delightful and Andrea was the most attentive waitstaff. ”
“ Always provide the best quality of healthy food, even for the deliveries, honest price and the staffs are always accommodating the requests, lovely services and cozy vibes. Always be the ultimate weekday canteen for us! Tried the fried chicken sandwich today, just yum yum ”
“ I sat at the bar and the service was spectacular! The staff is very nice and attentive. The food was really good and well priced. I ordered the Cobb salad it’s was delicious and huge! Also had a vanilla latte which was just as good and so well made. ”
“ A great place for a meal! My only complaint is that the protein they serve is on the dry side. The salmon I had was particularly overcooked. I tried the chicken cutlet and it was fairly dry (not as dry as the fish however). Despite the dry protein, the amazing veggie dishes certainly make up for it. The pesto mashed potatoes, roasted cauliflower with curry seasoning, and yucca fries were delicious. The drinks are also made well and very refreshing. The service was great and the restaurant was modern and charming. ”
