In Short – A few steps beyond the trendy lounge scene of the W Hotel lobby, Wave is just as stylish and comparatively serene. Its sleek, modern look is warmed with low light and a communal dining table. Wave's contemporary seafood menu has a Mediterranean flair and highlights small dishes meant for sharing over cocktails. Try grilled tuna with spiced beluga lentils and a lobster tasting of four dishes. The whimsical "Pop, Pop, Pop" dessert trio of orange flan, chocolate-ginger semi-freddo and cardamom crème brûlée is worth saving room for. Late-night dining continues in…

Great breakfast, but $$$
by Sybot
We were seated in the last row, next to the kitchen. This ruined an otherwise good place. We went for breakfast, and both dishes were tasty. Were they worth the $15 price tag each? Not really, but the same dishes would cost at least $10 elsewhere...so im ok paying for the W experience. Wait staff was very good. Coffee is brewed on the strong side, reminded me of Starbucks. OJ is $6, but fresh.
- Pros: Convenient, good breakfast
- Cons: bad seating, good views area available though

outstanding
by kcia
My wife and I went to Wave to celebrate her birthday. We are nobody important, but the manager made sure that we got a great table and special attention. After receiving descriptions and recommendations on the small plates from the waiter, it all sounded so good that we couldn't decide what to get and pretty much ordered everything. It was an amazing assortment of food, and all of it was delicious. At the end, the manager ordered a special dessert for us that was way beyond awesome. This was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had.
- Pros: service, food

Good lunch!
by 2citysis
I was recently here for lunch and had a great experience-the server was polite and informative but not intrusive. I ended up having the pizza special of the day which was delicious, and my friend had a seafood dish that she finished all of. They have this warm pita bread and yummy dip for their "bread" dish they give you before the meal. My friend had also been there several times before and loved it! I'd go back!
- Pros: Decor, service, food
- Cons: No parking (W valet is expensive!)
