The menu specials at Westville, like NYC itself, are always changing. This is a good thing because the food is so great it would be a shame to waste such good cooking on a fixed menu. The Union Square location offers anything from char-broiled burgers to watercress salads. This is one of those restaurants that New Yorkers love to love, simply because the food is delicious.
