Wave – Disney Contemporary

After having a late lunch, we weren’t in the mood for a full dinner, just appetizers.  We were staying at the Disney Contemporary and my dad and I went downstairs to Wave, which is located on the first floor. 

 

We sat at the bar.  It’s a beautiful room colored in different shades of blue and purple and blue lighting, very relaxing.  They had an extensive wine and martini menu and a lot of beers available by the bottle.  We ordered “The Wave Appetizer for Two.”  This consisted of  Lump-Crab Florida Rock Shrimp Cakes, Citrus-marinated North Florida Shrimp, and Calico Scallops for $15.99.  The crab and shrimp cakes had big pieces of lump crab meat, very sweet and fresh.  The cakes came with a tasty remoulade sauce.  The citrus-marinated shrimp and scallops was so good – the marinade had agave syrup in addition to the citrus flavors and the dish tasted like a sweet, citrusy ceviche.  It was so good, we scraped every bit from the plate.  I would have licked the plate if I wasn’t in public, it was that good!  Coming from the Midwest, really fresh seafood is a novelty.  The portions were just enough for a light dinner. 

 

This is an upscale restaurant that is actually family-friendly as well.  They have a children’s menu as well as breakfast and brunch buffets.  I would return here for the relaxing ambience, delicious food and the freshest seafood I’ve had in a while!
