This restaurant was outstanding. David our waiter was attentive and helpful as we tried to make our food selection. It was so good that we sent a note to the kitchen staff at the end of the meal to be read by all. The design of the restaurant made the noise level a little high which is why I only gave it 4 stars. But don't be deterred by that. I'm confident you will enjoy any selection you make.
The food was delicious, but it was VERY loud. I could barely hear my husband over the table behind us. It seemed like any loud conversation echoed in the restaurant.
We eat here every time we stay in Vero Beach and it is one of everyone’s fav spots! Food is delish and the wait staff is great to interact with
Always a great meal, never disappoints. My family shared tastes of their entrees and everyone couldn’t decide best dish. I/we visit each time we are in Vero.
Great experience. Excellent food and service.
Anniversary Dinner
Both the meals ordered were delicious - Snapper and Skirt steak.
Good service, good food and gracious wine pours
We enjoyed our dinner very much! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his herbed chicken from the Estefan Menu! Our wedge salads were absolutely delicious! Our server, David, was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The only draw back I can note is that my filet mignon was a trifle overcooked - I asked for rare which it was in the beginning, but because the steak is served on a hot lava rock, it continued to cook and was not the rare I was hoping for when I ordered it. Also, it was pricey and came without a side. Overall though, we were pleased and will return again!
Xmas Day Brunch - delicious BBQ Quial outstanding - Lobster Benedict - succulent Appetizer Grilled oysters Need to add to regular menu SO GOOD
Nice ambiance, great food and service, loved the fire pit for the chilly evening.
Had an excellent evening . Had drinks and appetizers first and then dinner. The waitress was very attentive and the food was outstanding. The ambiance was quiet and dinner was relaxing . I will definitely return to try some other dishes . Our party had short ribs which melted in my mouth , oysters and a wedge salad which my one guest said was delicious and my other guest had the shirt steak which was also delicious
The food was fine - not great as expected. Service was very slow. Looks like a very neat hotel and the restaurant is beautiful. Not sure I would go back just for the restaurant tho.
The service and food was exceptional!
15th Anniversary- server was very nice
The dinner was good, however, the service staff needs some training. We had dinner twice here during our stay and the waiter the second night brought out our steaks on sizzling platters without any of the accompaniments. While we waited to steaks went from medium rare to well He told us the sides and sauce for the steaks weren’t ready yet....I asked, then why would you bring the steaks out??
We sent them back and had him redo them. Second time was fine
We came for brunch. Always great. Specialty Eggs Benedict. W crabmeat. Yum
Great service, cocktails, and meals. The brunch menú offer a nice variety of dishes specially dining indoors in rainy days.
We enjoyed the shrimp and grits, eggs benedict, and of course the bottomless poinsettias!!! A great place for brunch especially to celebrate a birthday. The bourbon pecan pie for dessert was fantastic. Thanks to Jackie our server.
Fun place to go and food is excellent. A bit loud as the restaurant is all open. View to the ocean is beautiful
One of the best restaurants in Vero Beach. Great food, lively atmosphere and solid service. An exceptional spot!
Food was excellent. Disappointed that they no longer had Key Lime Pie for dessert. Only issue was the Pecan Pie was very good but a little overcooked and crust was burnt.
Food was excellent, service top notch and a nice atmosphere, what else is there?
Very very disappointed!! Awful from beginning to end. Poured us lukewarm drinking water at the beginning of the meal. Brought out stale bread to the table. REALLY stale bread and warm water!! Two of us had filet mignon and lobster and I had the rib tip pasta. All the meat was actually tough, tasteless and chewy. My pasta was overcooked and the meat was also tough. Fish special that our fourth member ordered had a bad tasting sauce on it. Poor service. A complete waist of $300!!!
p.s. I just talked to all three of the other family members that attended this dinner. All agree that this dinner was awful and a huge disappointment. No one wanted to complain on that night as it was a huge Anniversary celebration that no one wanted to ruin. The Wave ruined it any way. VERY SAD!!!
Great time, great food, great staff, great value, prompt and worth every Pennie, try the Cuban dishes :)
Wonderful meal with family. Dave did an exceptional job accommodating everyone.
Recent move to Vero Beach from Delray. This our go to restaurant for top quality service and food. Sarah at the front/hostess station is on her A game in greeting guests and so kind in making you feel welcomed. Our server request is always for Jackie she enhances the client/guest experience with her exceptional service and honest knowledge of the menus and specials offered by the chef. We have never had a bad meal at The Wave. Recommend reservations always and the practice Covid safe dining. Don’t miss the brunch Sundays 11:30 to 3pm with endless mimosas (you can mix and match the selections) also highly recommend any fish entree or appetizer always of great quality. Thank you to The Wave for being our never fail dining destination. Keep up the great service.
Very disappointing with two meals: both in taste and description. One would think a squash spaghetti dish with vegetables as described but presented without any vegetables but a red spicy sauce with mystery white substance. Pork Ragu over pasta was had more mushrooms and filler than pork. Very disappointing. Desert was ordered but never arrived after 25 minutes so we asked for the check and left. Poor management in the kitchen to ensure quality control of food. The fresh fish and Cuban dish were very good dishes.
Everything is always perfect. David is a great server, Megan is a great Manager.
Never have a bad meal.
We ate at The Wave restaurant for 3 days varying from breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meals and presentations were well presented and tasty! All employees that attended us were very professional and attentive. Food was phenomenal!!! Must have a dessert as well, just sayin. Special shout out to a few of our servers David, Aaron, Jackie, Matt (master mixologist at the bar) and the restaurant manager Walter went above and beyond to make sure EVERYTHING was perfect!!! Highly recommend The Wave Restaurant inside Costa de Este Resort. (: A special shoutout to Heather! Her beach side service was the BEST we've ever experienced at any resort we've stayed at. She was non-stop back and forth making sure we were good on our drinks and food. (even if it was just water) Thank you Heather for your amazing service on these scorching hot days in Florida!!!
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner for our wedding anniversary!
The service at Wave is top notch. We had David for 2 nights. Very knowledgeable of menu and very personable. Takes care of his customers!
Alecia was our server for bottomless mimosas brunch. She took great care of us and always had a mimosa in our hand before we even ordered the next round.
The paella is amazing. Roasted pork was delicious. Not one complaint of our experience at The Wave. Thanks for making our 30 year anniversary so great!
So glad we decided to try this restaurant for our date night. Our meal was wonderful and our server (David) was outstanding! Looking forward to visiting again.
Quality of the dishes was not consistent. Some were excellent while others need a total re-do. Given the prices, I expected better food tastes.
We visited the resort for our anniversary and had dinner at The Wave. The experience was amazing. Our service was impeccable, David was over the top friendly and accommodating. Our before dinner drinks were the Polite Pig and the Lavender Martini - WOW both easily the best drinks we’ve had in quite some time. We had the red snapper, and the mahi mahi for dinner; both were phenomenal. For dessert we had the bourbon pecan pie, and tres leches (which he decorated with a sweet Happy Anniversary message); both were perfect choices. All in all, this was an amazing evening and they made the experience perfect, we both could not have asked for anything more!
The food was great and the service was excellent was a little pricey for what you get but over all isn’t a bad place.
Dinner was excellent. Very interesting menus.
Waiter was excellent.
We had an excellent experience at The Wave Kitchen & Bar. Our waiter was amazing and the food was delicious. It's a beautiful restaurant that sits overlooking the pool and beach. Highly recommend!
