    Our experience at Vela was great. We went to celebrate our daughter’s graduation and the space is beautifully decorated with dim lighting (but not so dark that you can’t see your menu). Our server Angie, was so knowledgeable about every single dish and helped us order for our table of 10 since it is tapas style. The food and drinks 10/10! She and the entire staff made our visit so much fun. Will definitely be back!

    Our experience at Jardin GastroBar was the most elegant place in Berwyn to visit and I strongly encourage you to pay them a visit if you’re looking for exquisite drinks and flavorful dishes. I had the tomahawk steak with asparagus and truffle fries, and my fiancé had the  filet mignon.
