We wanted to make sure we saw the World of Color so we decided on this package because the food choices were more desirable than the other restaurants that offer the package. We were seated at our reservation time. Our server was good but "annoying". He would ask if we needed anything and we would answer him. Then he would just stand there staring at us. There are allergy issues in our party and we were able to substitute to an extent. They do try to accommodate you. You get appetizer, entree and dessert. I had the wedding soup which was good. The others substituted with the caprese salad and the insalata salad. They were good also. The pasta is made on premises which was delicious. I had the seafood pasta and it was delicious. The only issue is the shrimp still had the shell on the tail. It was messy trying to get them off. Two had the chicken which they said was great. Two had the filet mignon. They both said it was great also. The dessert was a plate of 4 small tastes: macaroon (ok), tiramisu (ok), lemon cream puff (not that good) and a chocolate caramel panna cotta which was the best thing on the plate. It would be nice if you could choose an item and have a full serving instead. Those will allergies were offered sorbet or an brownie with ice cream. The brownie was the best of all. Overall a good meal.

One of the highlights of our trip last week. Ask about the "special hidden cocktails". The drinks were reasonable. They only serve appetizers. The flatbreads and wings were good. The quesadilla rollups and spinach/artichoke dip were awesome. Great place to take a break.

I had eaten here about 7 years ago. It was one of the best counter service places. Returned last week. Food was ok, not as good as it had been. If you didn't eat the enchiladas immediately, they got hard quickly, making them difficult to cut. The rice and beans were great. I also like the fact they do allow free refills while dining there.
Pros:
Decent and reasonableCons:

One of the better counter service meals I have had. The burger was large and not dry. First place I could get a sweet ice tea during my vacation. The cashiers were very friendly.

Good food and great service. We were hesitant about going here since the one in Disney World was not that great the last time we ate there. This was a great surprise. The cheese fries and boneless wings were great. 3 of us had the chicken cesar salad which was plentiful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The other 2 had the cheese steak and raved about it. Would definitely return.

The food was great, and our service was top notch. We were disappointed that the menu is now the same all day. Many of our favorite lunch entrees are no longer available: Quiche, crepes, ham and cheese sandwich, etc. There is a new flat iron steak on the menu which is served with crispy thin fries, and it's very good. The desserts, as always, are terrific! The number of times we visit each vacation will probably decrease, simply because the menu doesn't vary from lunch to dinner.

Fabulous dessertsCons:

We had breakfast here. Our server was very accommodating. One the people in our party wanted the granola. When he asked the server, she stated it was very large but she would be happy to go to the "express" side and bring him the smaller version. I had the french toast which was awesome. Two had the blueberry pancakes. They were huge and there were 3 of them. They could have split one order. One had the egg platter and the other ordered the children's french toast sticks. I like the fact they serve breakfast items until 3 pm. Do not hesitate to eat here.

Great resort for the family.
From the themed buildings and 2 themed pools, a good food court and shopping. This resort bring you back to the era's of music.
It was a big plus with the resort having 3 pin boards for pin trading. One behind the check in desk, one in the shop and one in the food court.

We had breakfast here for the first time last week, and now it's on our Top Ten list! All the selections that we tried were great. We had a 10:45 reservation, so it would span both breakfast and lunch. Once the lunch items began to appear, the breakfast selections quickly disappeared. We would have liked access to breakfast for a longer time.
Pros:
Delicious fresh choicesCons:

As a professional Chef there are tree thing I look for in a restaurant.
A good clean environment
knowledgeable staff
and professional Chefs
So far every restaurant on the Disney property follows a quote from the film "ratatouille."
"Anyone can cook" and after many disappoints from countless restaurants, The Wave will surprise you in countless ways.
One person in my party has a severe food allergy (celiac disease) and the Sous Chef Kimi Holt came out and talked with us.
To see a level of professionalism from her and finding out everything is made from scratch made this Chef tst her skills.
I had a grilled Beef tenderloin cooked medium rare with ductchess potatoes topped with sour cream and chives, sautéed green beans.
I have dined in some of the best restaurants in the world, worked with world class chefs and spend 17 years of my life as a Professional Chef.
After some careful thought and consideration I can say The wave is one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in the world. I shall be returning as a regular customer.
Kimi Holt is one of the best Chefs employed by Disney.
