Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Wave Kitchen & Bar offers a "perfect ambience" with views of dunes and the ocean, complemented by "excellent, inventive" cuisine. While service can be inconsistent, standout servers like David and Chelsea provide "attentive and professional" service. The restaurant's paella and seafood dishes are highlights. Noise levels can be high, but the vibrant atmosphere makes it a "fun place to people-watch."

    It seemed that much of the staff was new and needed more training in customer service. We had reservations for brunch and arrived early. The hostess told us we could sit at the bar and she would come get us when our table was ready. It took quite a while to get service at the bar. My husband had to ask someone to wait on us. She had never heard of the wine we asked for - Sauvignon Blanc and had to get the experienced bartender to fill our request. We had been there for about a half hour and so 15 minutes after our reservation time , I went to the hostess and asked how much longer. She said she could seat us now. I asked why didn’t she get us as promised. She said she is new and forgot us. The waitress seemed pleasant enough but only checked in on us shortly after serving us but never checked in again to see if we needed anything. We had to get her attention for our check. Everyone was pleasant but short on knowing what makes a pleasant experience. Training is the key. The food was wonderful.

    Was seated promptly at our reservation time. After that we were completely ignored for almost half an hour until I stopped a server who had passed our table several times and asked if she would find out who our server was. A couple of minutes later she came back and apologetically said she was our server, but the hostess neglected to tell her. I had annotated in my reservation that were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Not until after we had paid our check and close to leaving did the hostess come over to inquire as to who was celebrating an anniversary. All that happened after that was the hostess telling us about her marriage. Nothing was offered to add to our celebration. Not even an offer to refill my ice tea. I had expected better from this establishment.

    Busy night…husband’s appetizer came out quickly. Next thing they’re bringing out our entrees within ten minutes of ordering…he hadn’t finished his appetizer and I never received mine, nor the drink I ordered. The rhythm of the restaurant seemed off, another table near us received wrong food. Things definitely felt rushed…very unlike our last experience there.

    First time to this restaurant. Three of us dined and all of our meals -- Grilled Mahi, Grilled Red Snapper and House Paella were outstanding. Large portions and plenty to share around the table. It was a nice surprise, although it can get quite loud -- lots of tile and glass.
