Fine dining with the best view at Walt Disney World. The food and service are great. However, with the open kitchen and bar it can get loud. There are lots of windows providing great views of the Magic Kingdom and Bay Lake. You can also go outside for even better views.

The Wave is the main restaurant at The Contemporary replacing the Concourse Steakhouse in June 2008. The Wave is slightly upscale but families will feel welcome. The food is American and on the healthy side. The Wave also features Organic beers and fine wines with a twist - all the wines they offer feature screw tops.
