    I eat at NYAJ a lot! Excellent service from Will. The chicken on the Cobb salads was fresh cooked but chewy / gristley. I’ll be back

    I met an old work friend and NYAJ in Westwood is a middle area between our hometowns. The place is large, well decorated and clean. They honored my request for a booth and we were very happy with the friendly staff. We both ordered the Waldorf Salad. It is large and delicious. We had their focaccia with an oil based dipping oil which is fantastic. We enjoyed our lunch and would highly recommend that restaurant to others.

    We are longtime customers at NYAJ Westwood. The food is consistent and the place is comfortable. Today I met a friend for a late lunch (1:15 pm arrival). We ordered within about 10 minutes and at 2:00 pm - 40 minutes later - we hadn't received our orders. They were lunch bowls, so nothing complicated. The waiter seemed out to lunch and never had checked on our order until we flagged him down and asked what was happening. We also asked to see the manager. We waited another few minutes and no food and no manager. Eventually the manager brought our food with apologies. He said his system said it was only 12 minutes since our order was placed! That meant the waiter may have not submitted the order for a half hour. Man, that was awful! It was very late for lunch by then. We weren't happy but the manager comped the whole meal. Nice, but lunch in a reasonable time would have been better. While we waited, the usually good focaccia was awful - all small hard ends. Didn't want to have to eat the bread so didn't ask for fresh, but should have considering how late lunch was.

    Waldorf salad did not have all or many ingredients. No pecans, hardly any craisins. Our server was good, checked in occasionally

    The regular Friday night host/manager remains the best asset to NYAJ Westwood. He is pleasant, professional, and diligent. His attitude seems to be reflected in the waitstaff as well. Continues to be a very positive experience.
