I know I can always count on you all every single time and I’m proud to know you’ve been my neighbor all these years as well. Whenever you’re around, it always feels more like home. And I love that for all these years you’ve had the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. So many friends have been given a forever home, including a very special friend of mine. Thanks for all you continue to do. I hope you never leave us.“

James was our server and he did a good job with recommendations, however, we felt rushed and forgotten at times. This was my birthday celebration dinner and it fell flat.“

“Glad Westville decided to open up a location in Virginia, and what better than Clarendon! Similar to the New York locations, everything tastes healthy-ish and homemade, but maybe better than most city dwellers could do at home. Also an easy venue if you’re dining in a big group with pick eaters - lots of protein and veggie options, and super friendly to allergies and dietary restrictions.

Personal favorite was the fish sandwich. Veggie sides are all good and taste healthy (no heavy feeling that I get sometimes from veggie sides at restaurants - maybe they use a healthier oil or fewer additives). Carrot cake was flavorful and had a great texture, and love that it looked homemade as well.

Interior feels like an old school diner, and is super clean. Outdoor patio looks like a great place to enjoy an aperol spritz during the summer.“

“Just had a great lunch where we sat outside on the patio and had to order via QR code. Included in the notes about an allergy and they came out to tell us that one of the items we ordered couldn't be made without my allergy and there was still a chance of cross contamination. They removed the item and insisted on finding an acceptable substitute I could eat avoiding my allergies. I assume the gentleman who came out to speak with us was a manager, who understood allergies very well in party because he had a peanut allergy. Then after a great meal we left a hat and when I went back to get it, the same gentleman was RUNNING across the street to bring me the hat. That's incredible service and such care for those with allergies. I seldom feel safe eating out with my allergies and this place really put me at ease!“
