Has anyone eaten at the wave ? What did you think?
We are making our ADR's and wanted to possibly include this one.
Thanks:goodvibes
 
I have an ADR for breakfast while on our trip. I tried to change it this morning to Chef Mickey's after seeing the menu but cannot. I cannot get up and out for breakfast at 7 Am when I'm on vacation. I'm hoping that the reviews were wrong or that I can change it later.
 

The reviews are mixed, but the first reviews at allears are good ones, Kevin Yee liked it, and the review on the 6/10 podcast here at the Dis is good, too.

We are giving it a try in September -- something new, why not? Lots of folks are unhappy that more and more of the restaurant menus are the same, well this one certainly looks different! :laughing:

If you want a great breakfast, try the GF Cafe, just a monorail ride away!!! AWESOME
 
We booked for dinner in December. Fingers crossed it's good. The review the pp posted gives me hope! :-)
 
I ate their with my family on June 8. Overall we were not impressed, but part of the problem could have been our waiter. He kind of skipped over me when we were ordering our food. As I was trying to order, he was walking away and I had not ordered yet. We had to remind him that I still need to order my food.
We were a party of eight so the gratuity was automatically included. That could have been part of the problem. We will definitely try the Wave again as most of us seemed to enjoy our food.

What had you not impressed besides the service? I ask only because I know something like that can "ruin the experience", but when you say that you are "overall not impressed", it sounds like the problem was more than just a hiccup in service?

It sounds to me (from other reviews - not yours) that people want to not like this place for some reason. Everyone complains that they can't get something different and then when Disney offers something different, everyone complains that it is different!! We cannot wait to try this place - I am happy to have something new to try. We will let you know how it goes - less than 2 weeks away!!

My brother ordered the Grilled Beef Tenderloin medium rare. The first time it came out well done. He sent it back, the next time it came out Pittsburgh rare. He would have sent it back again, but we had the Grand Gathering Fireworks cruise and we didn't have the time to wait.

My grandmother ordered the Braised Chicken Pot Pie. She said it was tasteless and she rated it on a scale from 1-10 with ten being the highest she gave it a 0. She is not one to complain. In the past she has disliked meals, but when asked about her meal she would always said that they were okay or fine

I guess I'd should have said that overall the group of eight was not impressed. We ate their the first day the resturant was open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I attribute most of our problems to the resturant being new. My meal was fine, I've had better and I've definitely had worse. I've made over ten trips to the World and eaten at a wide variety of places from Jiko to Casey's for hot dogs.

I would try the Wave again sometime.
 
I didn't think there was anything wrong with the pancakes. But I would like cheaper chicken sausage.

Thanks for the further detail. I am really interested in how the Wave is going to do, so I like to hear the reviews on this place - more than just "we liked it" or "we didn't like it". Did you only do one meal there? I would imagine after getting served raw meat you'd be less likely to return to it right away!
 
We ate there last Friday at the bar. I loved the Orlando beer flight so did our friends. There were only appetizers at the bar so we had the spring rolls, edamame (spicy and great) and the crab natchos (delish.) The desserts were awesome (small but light and really good.) They took the DDE. It was nice inside and pretty crowded.
