    The Wave serves excellent paella. I keep returning there whenever I’m in the Vero Beach area. They also have an excellent wine selection and the desserts are so decadent!

    Always outstanding. Consistently excellent menu, preparation and presentation. Top class service. Nice environment, cozy but no real intimate seating available. We love this place.

    This was our 16th Wedding Anniversary celebration. Started with Happy Hours at the Wave Bar. Service and atmosphere is always welcoming. Staff is great. Dinner was the Paella for two. Strongly recommend. Our server, Jackie was excellent. For dessert, we had the flourless Chocolate Cake and the Flan. Jackie had the staff bring out dessert plates with “Happy Anniversary” scripted in Chocolate - A very thoughtful touch! We will be back!

    Octopus was undercooked and inedible. Plantains were undercooked and chalky. How do you claim it’s Cuban coffee when it’s made with Jamison‘s and you don’t have either Tia Maria or 43?

    We had the roast pork entree. For a restaurant that specializes in Cuban food I was expecting to be blown away, but average at best, especially for the price point. Having said that they served a large portion. Service was pleasant but again for the price point the ambiance was just ok.

    Several issues on our first time dining here. Ordered mojitos, and we sent them back because they were not muddled enough. Secondly one of our party inquired about the dressing for the wedge salad if it contains anchovies. Waiter went away and came back much later with no definitive answer. So the wedge was ordered with a different dressing. What came to the table was a chopped salad. When I spoke to a server he said oh that's how we serve it! NOT Paella for 2 was good but rice was not allowed to crisp on the bottom. The ingredients were flavorful and other than that, a good dish. Server was cloyingly annoying at times . Would I recommend, maybe .
