CLOSED: Wave 2700

The food was good enough, the server wasn't fluent with what was vegan however. It is unnerving in those situations, a bit. Not sure about what their process in the kitchen is, but if it is honorable, then I would suggest it. I think we will return, its better so far than most other options.

i am vegan and my husband is not, so this is a good compromise for us.
the vegan loaf was really good.
i really wanted dessert, but was told they only have dessert when sally (the owners wife) is in.
if they are trying to appeal to a vegan audience, they should always have options for us.

We were fortunate to find out about Wave 2700's vegan menu through a livingsocial special, and I couldn't be more pleased that we did. When I asked for the vegan menu I was alerted to the trifold tent on the table, which had a vegan menu and drink specials.

They have a small but impressive list of draft beers including some craft selections like Magic hat #9 and Florida beer, Cigar City Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale. Wave 2700 is a predominantly seafood restaurant, but I quickly found out that the one of the owners, John (Captain Snapper)'s wife, Sally Stiller is vegan, hence the vegan menu.

We tried to start with a tabouli stuffed tomato, but they were all out. So we nibbled on the vegan dinner rolls and sipped on our tasty libations. The entrees sounded really good, and I was torn between the Potato Gnocchi ala Marinara $16.95 and the Vegan Nut Loaf with Sage Gravy $15.95, but settled on the latter.

At first I thought the small portion of the nut loaf was not really enough, but it was partnered with a heaping portion of mashed potatoes and the best vegan gravy I've tasted to date. I actually didn't end up finishing it, because I was so full! The gravy was loaded with mushrooms, which I mostly pushed aside (i get hives and hate the texture), but they certainly helped flavor it to perfection. It wasn't too sweet, which is something I've found with a lot of vegan gravies. The nut loaf was a very dense combination of brown rice, seeds, nuts, and legumes that proved to be both nourishing and deceptively filling.

The lack of a vegan dessert option was my only complaint, since they are really trying to cater to the plant based crowd. However, once a week they do a "Veg-a-cation", a vegan 3 course meal (appetizer, main, dessert) based on Sally's direction, including wine and vegan education for $25. (Must RSVP!) The theme changes every week. Last week's was a completely raw menu and this week the focus is on Italian food.
