Here's yet another quick review, of a dinner recently eat at The Wave.
Date we ate: Friday Feb 13th
Time we ate: ADR for 5:20pm, arrived and seated exactly on time
Service: Excellent. Prompt, professional and courteous. Drinks refilled quickly without asking. Plates cleared promptly. Follow up by waiter to make sure that meal & experience was to our satisfaction.
Atmosphere: Quiet, upscale but still relaxed.
Food: Excellent, some of the best value to be had at WDW.
DH & I did not waste time at this restaurant, but immediately both ordered the beef tenderloin. In both our cases, our entrees arrive promptly, and the steaks were *perfect*. Tender, but not too soft, deliciously meaty in flavor, with nicley seared exteriors.... this was great steak. It was served with roasted root vegetables and an interesting celery mash that was a very nice change from the ever-typical mashed potato. The haricot verts were also perfectly tender-crisp and DH and I fought over every last one.
DD's meal was a plain buttered linguine, which they served with fresh parmesan on the side. Not to my adult taste, but the linguine was perfectly cooked and served nicely hot, not rubbery and cold like so many children's entrees at Disney. DD was very pleased and ate an enormous quantity. Unfortunately, her entree came with the ubiquitous plain steamed broccoli and raw baby carrots (Disney evidently doesn't want to waste the time or money serving interesting vegetables to children, sigh), which my daughter refuses to eat, and which we refuse to make her eat.
Dessert was, by our request, two simple bowls of ice cream. These were polished off with enthusiasm by DD & DH.
Negatives: As far as the food goes, I couldn't find any. Seriously folks, this restaurant is a hidden gem at Disney. The only negative I could possibly think of? There were no windows and no view to speak of, which puts The Wave at a slight disadvantage when compared to the other Contemporary restaurants.
Conclusion: We look forward to eating here again, and I wouldn't hesitate to say it was the best meal we ate at Disney. Let's just hope it doesn't get discovered by the crowds!

You must be a restaurant reviewer or writer, you have a nice, concise style!
