The Wave Disney's Contemporary Resort

The service provided by the staff is great. The Food is good, but ridiculously overpriced, $16 for 4 small pancakes and bacon) And the presentation was mediocre. I’ve seen better presentation at Shoney’s in the way our food was plated up and presented. The entrance into the facility is fun, but the actual restaurant itself looks like a Denny’s circa 1993. Pretty disappointing for a Disney property.

We had a delicious breakfast at the wave everything was hot and fresh , I had the Florida eggs Benedict was very good , went back later that evening and had a Seven Seas Lagoon cocktail it was delicious as well ,very friendly service

After we waited 15 minutes (because we were 10 minutes early) to sit as soon as we were sitting, we waited some time until our server came by. she looked overwhelmed and seemed too worried about her other tables instead of asking us if we want to drink something, water. actually lasted 15-20 minutes to get water because we made the mistake to ask if they were still a child's article that was no longer on the menu. (sometimes they can make objects when they have the ingredients) after 10 minutes this was not the case. the other guest of my party could therefore settle for the beef-tenderoin from the adult menu, which was supposed to be a favorit that other guests ordered after our server. Apart from that it was extremely small (for $34) it was extremely dry and tasteless. the server recommended to put the sose on the side if it was spicy (what it was not) and it was obviously necessary to put any kind of moisture in this piece meat. I had to help her cut it and had to be soaked with the sauce, but it was still moderate. our server offered to have made another piece that we rejected because we wanted to wait until the end of the time. I talked to the manager about this whole situation. it was very new to this facility and totally inexperienced with what it previously offered. unless our server had a bad night, she needed to find another line of work - she had to start such a job. each question seemed to be like a hassle for them and even leave extra water. this is the first time that I can remember that I leave a 10% tip, as it makes our entire meal a total disappointment. this was one of our favorite restaurants on the property, no more, so much so that we don't return-magie is gone. what should have been offered .maybe a discount because any other chain restaurant would have done that!

We liked, but I expected more of a disney restaurant in Mother's Day. also they did not have our reservation of open table, which was an unexpected unforeseen surprise.

My wife and I were spending the weekend at Bay Lake Tower and had planned to grab dinner at a quick service in the parks but with the off and on rain in the forecast we decided to look for a place we could make a reservation. Managed to get a table at the Wave at a good time using OpenTable when the Disney app wasn’t able to save our selections. This was our third or fourth visit to the Wave and we always enjoy it. The restaurant is tucked in the back of the lobby level of the Contemporary Resort so it is not a place that many will spot walking by. It is well worth the visit and very convenient if staying at any of the Magic Kingdom area resorts. Excellent food and service, a good wine selection and a quieter setting make it a good choice for dinner if you want something nice and if you want a break from the sensory overload. There is a nice bar behind the host stand with wines on tap which is good place to wait for a table or just enjoy a drink. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, our server brought us a surprise treat at the end with four beautifully decorated chocolate covered strawberries. It was the perfect end to a perfect meal.
