Summary

While it’s not a dining destination, the kitchen has stayed the course with healthful, locally sourced dining options. Organic beers and coffees, hip cocktails, and all-screw-cap wines—focusing on New World bottlings from Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, and South Africa—are part of the forward-thinking beverage lineup.

This restaurant is listed on the OpenTable website and app. On OpenTable reservations are often available when they are not on the Disney site. There is also no cancellation fee with OpenTable.

Setting and Atmosphere

On the first floor of the Contemporary just past the front desk, you walk into The Wave’s lounge, with the dining room to the left—the lounge is usually packed after 5 p.m., and it’s hard to snag a seat. The adjoining dining room has the feel of an upscale coffee shop, with wooden tables and white-linen napkins.
