The only thing that I regret about our meal is that we did not go here sooner. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Our server was awesome. They served my younger son some gluten free bread that he loved. I asked what it was and our server went back to check and wrote down exactly what it was. May sound like something simple, but I thought it was really nice of him. We will definitely return!
Pros:
Great meal and serviceCons:

To me The Wave is a gem amongst Disney resort dining. Great food and atmosphere, great menu and drink selection for kids and adults. Reservations are usually easy to get (at least when compared to other Disney restaurants) and it is just a short walk away from the Magic Kingdom.
Pros:
Excellent food within walking distance of MKCons:

Our second favourite dinner with the first being Teppan Edo - on the good advice of the waiter we had - gnocchi, rib eye and tenderloin - cooked to perfection - best gnocchi and sauce - good desserts - great service - will return - easy monorail ride from MK so it's a keeper!

I would go over 10 here if I could. In a week where we ate at a lot of high end places, this was the best we had hands down. The service was top notch and the food was great. Steaks were cooked perfect, sides were very good, just blown away. I even made a comment to my wife that I felt this blew California Grill out of the water. The Wave is now on a regular rotation for restaurants for our visits.

Always on my meal list, never disappoints.
Fantastic, knowledgeable servers, nice variety of menu choices.
Their crab cake appetizer is not as good as it used to be, far from it actually - choose something else
The pork chop was excellent, the strip steak as well (I've also had the beef tenderloin in past visits - highly popular for a delicious reason).
A bit of a hidden gem, like most resort restaurants.

In our 10 days of dining, this was our favorite meal. Everything was done to perfection. The waiter was excellent from explaining all aspects of the menu, specials, dining plan questions, etc...The food was delightful and flavorful. Everything was cooked perfectly. This is one hidden gem that will be on our must do list for next trip.

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.
Pros:
Porofessional Chefs that will impress youCons:

Best meal of our trip. Had beef tenderloin, salmon, cheese tray and wine from a small winery we had once visited and loved, Trentadue. Server had great info on farm v. wild salmon as well as the various cheeses. Smaller, quieter dining room was nice after all the crowds elsewhere.
Pros:
Food; Server's knowledge; SettingCons:

I enjoy eating here because of the proximity to MK but the sides with the main meals are lacking.

The food here was delicious. I originally had reservations for the California Grill, but I made an error in planning out my dining plan, and the Cali Grill took 2 meals, which I didn't have budgeted. I was disappointed in having to "downgrade" to the Wave, but it turned out great.
We were there the first night, so I don't remember everything we ordered, but I do remember it was great. I got a steak for dinner that I loved and was cooked perfectly, and the sides were really really good. The "bacon and eggs" app, which was pork belly with an egg yolk over cheesy grits was incredible. High quality like that you'd get in a high end restaurant.
This was my favorite sit down dinner while I was in Disney.
