NYC's Popular Vegetable-Forward Eatery Coming To Arlington

ARLINGTON, VA — A beloved neighborhood restaurant from New York City will soon be bringing its vegetable-forward fare and laid-back charm to Arlington.

Beginning on July 14, Westville will be welcoming guests at The Crossing Clarendon, restaurant’s first location outside the NYC metro region.

“We’ve always believed that a great neighborhood restaurant does more than
serve good food. It builds real connection,” said Jay Strauss, who founded Westville in 2023. “Westville offers home-style cooking away from home, where people come to eat well and linger like they would at a friend’s kitchen table. Every location is shaped by its distinct community, and we’re excited to become part of the dynamic Clarendon neighborhood and the impressive DMV food scene.”

Westville is known for its signature market plates, which offer build-your-own combinations of sides like green beans with soy glaze, pesto mashed potatoes, and asparagus with parmesan. Westville serves up to 21 market vegetables daily, according to a release.

Guests are able to choose from fresh salads, char-grilled burgers, and comforting staples like smoky mac n’cheese, veggie chili, and truffle parmesan fries. Dessert highlights include gluten-free chocolate molten cake, carrot cake, and apple pie.

Highlights from Westville's beverage menu include coffee, rotating seasonal cocktails, and a curated selection of local beer and wine. Guests can order regional brews from Maryland's Union CraftBrewing, as well as Virginia's Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and Three Notch’d Brewing. Customers can also enjoy Virginia-made wines like Barboursville Vineyards’ Chardonnay. The cocktail list includes Sangria, Prosecco Mint Lemonade, Strawberry Aperol Spritz, and Blood Orange Paloma, aloong with zero-proof options such as the Carrot Ginger Shrub and Blueberry Basil Spritz.

The nearly 4,000-square-foot space located at 2800 Clarendon Blvd will offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Doors open Monday, July 14 at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and dinner service.
