Dinner at The Wave
Now, where did we leave off?
We left Via Napoli stuffed and happy and slowly went back to the car. It was our very first full day at WDW and there were EMH at the MK until 2am so we needed some rest time.
When we made it into the room we were greeted by a gift from our friends Stefy and Dave.
We were stunned and happy. What a wonderful surprise.
The afternoon was spent lounging in front of the TV and nibbling on a few snacks.
When we found out that the Main Street Electrical Parade was coming back and that its run was extended we changed our ADR at The Wave so we could watch the parade. So by 6.45 we arrived at The Wave for our dinner ADR. We were handed a buzzer, walked over to the lounge area and as soon as we had sat down the buzzer went off. Even the host was laughing at how fast our table had been asigned.
We were seated towards the middle of the busy restaurant and soon to be greeted by our server, who took our drinks order of two Diet Cokes.
Since we were not real hungry after all the food we had indulged on all day we decided against ordering an appetizer.
Right after she had served the drinks, our server brought out the multi grain bread. We love this bread, it is a more dense bread with a good crust.
The bread is served with butter sprinkled with sea salt. Even though we love the bread and butter we both only had one slice, not to fill up too much.
Tom ordered the Grilled Beef Tenderloin - port wine jus, potato and onion gratin and summer ratatouille. It was as good as it sounds. The tenderloin was cooked to a perfect medium and melted in your mouth, the gratin was silky and smooth and went real well with the jus. The ratatouille was slightly underseasoned for my taste, but Tom liked it the way it was.
I was looking for something a little lighter so I ordered the Apple Brined Pork Tenderloin - with Bourbon Sweet Mashed potatoes, warm spinach-bacon salad and Sassafras Jus. Okay ......... it was devine! The tenderloin was soft and melt in your mouth with a slightly pink center. The Bourbon Sweet Mashed pototoes were to die for - even feeling full I could have gone on and on and on eating them. A real winner was the warm spinach-bacon salad.
The crispy fried salty bacon, mixed together with soft crisp leaves of spinach, tossed in a very light vinaigrette, YUMMY!!!
At that point we were pretty full, but the desserts at The Wave are too good to pass them up.
Tom really wanted something light, so he ordered ........
the Freshly Crafted Sorbets - Lemon-basil, Pineapple and Strawberry Sorbets.
Strawberry sorbet, with a strong strawberry flavour - very nice
Pineapple sorbet - not as sweet as the strawberry and very refreshing
Lemon-basil sorbet - I was intrigued about the combination, but it worked surprisingly well and was the most refreshing one of the three.
I went for my all time favourite, the Creamy Indulgence - Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis, Coconut Panna Cotta with Passion Fruit Drizzle, Chocolate-Passion Fruit Mousse with Pecan-Olive Brittle.
Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis - just the right size of a silky smooth cheesecake. The raspberry coulis has just the ride sharpness to cut the sweetness of the cake.
Coconut Panna Cotta with Passion Fruit Drizzle. I am not all that keen on Passion fruit but I have to admit that combined with the coconut panna cotta it really works and makes for a real enjoyable dessert.
Chocolate-Passion Fruit Mousse with Pecan-Olive Brittle, there is nothing you can say against chocolate mousse and the small piece of brittle is just so good.
Once we had finished our meal we paid the bill, then walked over to the Magic Kingdom and watched both runs of the
for that day and
Wishes.
Once we had enjoyed the parades and fireworks we started hitting the rides.
