The Wave, which is located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily in a 220-seat restaurant that casual dining into the health-conscious 21st century.
The classic American breakfast menu includes plenty of egg creations, but guests also can make their own Wave muesli or sip a Beta Berry Smoothie with raspberry puree and nonfat yogurt blended with Odwalla Berries GoMega (a great source of Omega-3). The Pure Sunshine breakfast cocktail features organic vodka and orange juice topped with Vitamin Energy Drink.

At lunch, light eaters might enjoy lettuce wraps with sauteed lamb and bay scallops, or a lump crab cake with crispy papaya slaw. Entrees range from oversized salads and a vegetarian sandwich with grilled tofu, roasted veggies and herb goat cheese on multi-grain bread to an Angus chuck burger with cheese and Applewood smoked bacon, or a classic grilled Reuben.
The dinner menu offers a delicious spin on comfort classics such as pan-seared Alaskan black cod with corn and edamame (soybean) stew with cilantro chutney; braised lamb shank with bulgur lentil stew and red wine sauce, and a nouvelle chicken pot pie with thyme pastry. Sides at both lunch and dinner include braised greens and roasted sweet potatoes and carrots.
The innovative wine list has a quirky claim to fame – all screw capss, no corks. Cutting-edge wines from around the globe are showcased on the list.
