We're going there for a special occasion, which was listed on the reservation for my birthday and the restaurant totally dropped The ball. Didn't wish me a happy birthday didn't acknowledge anything. It was very disappointing. I would've thought a restaurant of this caliber would be on their game for a special occasion.

Great Cuban-inspired food. We had the Tuna Tartare, Octopus Carpaccio, and the hot stone New York Strip. All excellent!

Bar area was very loud. It made it hard to hear at our table. It's a classy restaurant. Someone should had the people lower there voices.

We went to Waves from a referral from the manager at Cobalt. Dinner was wonderful! Drinks - Gloria's Cosmo!!! Wow! Appetizer (rock shrimp and calamari) was well made and two sauces added lots of taste and variety! Dinner was the delicious! Service - very attentive and dessert - chilled port, gelato to share, and chocolate martini! Very casual. Very loud because of the great live guitar player and the loud conversations!!!

The restaurant was beautifully displayed with modern decor. The service was amazing. Unfortunately, we didn't find the prime rib as tender as we would normally like to have it and the value was not the best, the price definitely reflects the resort area, we elected to come and have dinner here on Tuesday night because of the prime rib special and was bit little disappointed with the cut of meat. We also added the scallops to make it a surf with the turf, thinking for $19 listed for two scallops were going to be some special  scallops, just too very basic standard size scallops even on the small end for one of them, but the scallops were very tasty and perfectly pan seared. I did really enjoy the Spanish octopus, especially on the extra chard ends.  the kids meal out with chicken tenders and fries was a decent portion. My Caribbean shrimp curry was amazing.

The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing with live music. Unfortunately, we could barely hear the music, because the conversation noise was extremely loud. We were at a very small table on the outer rim of seating, and we could not carry on a conversation between the two of us. Acoustic ceiling panels are needed. While our server was very pleasant, it took 10 minutes to take our drink order and later 20 minutes for our food order. The food was extremely good. The portions were large. The red sangria was tasty.

Delicious! We travel to Vero beach once a year and The Wave never disappoints! Our meal was delicious and our service was fantastic! This is a must do for us and we look forward to it. We especially loved the new seasonal items including burratta and peaches... yum! Thanks so much and see you next year!

We recently dined here for our anniversary, which happens to be on 4th of July. We stop in here quite often, especially at the indoor and outdoor bars when we are in the area. We have also eaten dinner here many times over the years. We love the ambience, our service is usually top-notch, the cocktails are also delicious. The one thing that seems to never be consistent and never 100% is the food, which is a shame! My husband and I usually order the same dishes every time we dine in here, he gets to paella and I get the filet mignon.  The main courses are usually fine (not usually the problem) but this time we decided to switch it up and he got the filet mignon and I got the grilled chicken. We also started with their clams which we both usually love at other restaurants. We have ordered them twice here now (hoping for them to be good) and both times they have had major grit which means they are not being washed well enough. My chicken WAS flavorful  but it was way overcooked and dry, and it was a very small piece of chicken considering the price of the meal. My husband‘s filet mignon turned out to be the best thing of the evening, I wish I hadn't strayed away from my normal order. Overall the food was pretty disappointing this time around. Also, considering I did mention it was our anniversary when booking on OpenTable, not one single person wished us happy anniversary and I found that to be a little odd. We made the best of the evening but considering it was our anniversary of 13 years this meal felt a little disappointing.

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!

Robert

The wife and I eat here regularly. The food and service are exceptional. Highly recommended!

John

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!
