North Delaware Co. Restaurants - Vilanova to Wayne

[tim]

Hi,

We are looking for a very casual, inexpensive restaurant that will be fun and serve good food on a Friday evening. We are staying just West of Vilanova and don't want to go too far.

Our family (20 to 30 max.) is involved in the restaurant business and will probably make a little noise and have a little fun. The quality of the food is more important than the atmosphere.

I would appreciate any thoughts.

You might find what you want at Maia. It certainly is an interesting concept.

Hi,

Maia's website says almost nothing.

Any thoughts on the atmosphere, cost, quality of the food downstairs?

I've been to the upstairs and downstairs parts of Maia, the downstairs (the bistro part) would be good for this, especially since it's right near where you're staying. I think they have a private room upstairs but the prices up there are not inexpensive. It would probably help if you could define 'inexpensive'.

Their menu is on Menupages here, but the prices look off to me, I've had the kobe pastrami and the burger and I don't remember them being $14. My memory could be faulty though, or the price could have gone up since I was there.

Oh, and the food is good. I wasn't a big fan of the things I ate in the upstairs restaurant, but the bistro is nice, and more reasonably priced. There are some photos of the food and the interior at David McDuff's blog.

You might also consider Teresa's Next Door in Wayne. The food is solid enough and the beer selection is top notch.

Teresa's Next Door is a good suggestion although conversation can be a challenge on weekends ... high noise level!
