I discovered this little gem when I worked in the neighborhood and have, since, recommended it to whoever works. lives or studies in Westwood. It is one of the only places that is an alternative above fast food joints and under restaurant prices and stuffyness. It is casual and delicious, the food is absolutely fresh and tasty, the corn chowder is one of the best I have ever had, the salmon perfectly cooked and takeout is a breeze for those evenings where you are in store for something healthy but don't want to cook yourself. I have absolutely no idea how the Fresh Corn Grill can get so much food out of this tiny kitchen, nor how the staff navigates between the crowded tables to bring fragrant dishes to your table. I have introduced them to the company I work at and we are now catering our lunches from them. I cannot tell how many compliments they generate from our employees and what a lifesaver this is. I highly recommend this little jewel and can only hope that their success will let them purchase the stores next door to enlarge both their kitchen and their dining room... Otherwise, don't change a thing...
Pros: Fresh, quality, tasty food close to the heart of Westwood
Cons: Long lines at peak hours - call ahead
