We had the pleasure of dining at The Wave last weekend and it was incredible. Its funny because I really was not that excited about eating there and tried to get last minute ressies to the California Grill (I am a dreamer). We arrived at the Wave at about 7 p.m. and had a drink in the bar first. The bar tender was really nice and we had several signature drinks, one was a coffee martini that my husband loved (with a lot of chocolate), I had a glow-tini and our son had a non-alcohol strawberry daquari which was really delicious.
Dinner at the Wave was perfect. We started with the crab cake appetizer with crispy papaya slaw which was truly high quality. When I saw the presentation I thought it was going to be a bit dry but you did not need any sauces, etc to enjoy the crab cakes. My husband had the soup of the day which was black bean chili. It was not spicy but had a lot of complex flavors. That was our favorite.
Entrees: I had the beef tenderloin which was served with celery/gold potato mash and wilted greens and root vegetables. I have had steak in many places but this was one of the best I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly and went with the sides very well. The steak was so tender a knife was not really needed. My husband had the lamb with lentil stew. He enjoyed it very much. Our son had the flank steak with guacamole. Extra guacamole was happily provided at no extra cost. He also ordered the fingerling potatoes and we shared the roasted carrots which were of very high quality and prepared flawlessly.
Dessert is really special at the wave. It was near my birthday so they presented me with the Creamy Indulgence for free which had Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis, Coconut Panna Cotta with Passion Fruit Drizzle, and Chocolate-Passion Fruit Mousse with Pecan-Olive Brittle. The combinations of flavors were really outstanding and it was so nice to have a little of three different desserts. My husband had the Decadent Flavor combination and our son had the Crispy and Crunchy which included zucchini carrot cake. YUM!
The children's menu was basic but our daughter enjoyed the chicken nachos and the sorbet combination. I tasted hers and especially loved the lemon basil, which was tart and sweet at the same time.
You really must try this restuarant. It was moderately priced by disney standards and truly offered high quality, organic, fresh foods. It is now my favorite place..I can't wait to try breakfast there!
Service was excellent and very friendly/laid back. I felt very comfortable there and did not feel rushed. The staff also presented me with a beautiful card that was signed by at least ten employees wishing me a happy birthday. Very nice touch!

That worried me a little but every review I have read on here has been positive.
