We are frequent customers at the Wave. It's a fun spot that our kids seem to be begging to revisit weekly. The new menu of the former "pizza wave" is much more than just pizza. Our kids love the kids options while my husband and I never have a problem selecting a healthy and always delicious entree. The wave in Bristol is the perfect spot for everyone in the family!

This place is on the water so there is a beautiful view especially if you can dine outside. Unfortunately today it is raining but we could still see the water from inside.Have not been here for three years. Will not wait that long again. Oh, you might know this place as Agave, former name.The food was excellent and portions are more than adequate.Also the prices are very reasonable.

Hunting for a place to get a quick quality lunch seems to be my workday standard. After asking a client where to go, he recommended this bar as having good quality meals at reasonable prices. I tried it and found his recommendation to be on target. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken sandwich served with fries and it was very good. This establishment is a local bar, nothing fancy, but serves decent meals.

Went here on a Sunday morning because another nearby brunch place was packed and we ended up being thankful we had to find this place. Great brunch. Also, my wife has some dietary restrictions and could only really have one thing on the menu, so the chef cooked something special for her as a courtesy. Attentive waitress. Cute decor. Not crowded.

Stumbled upon this place while biking with wife on bikepath and in area. One of few really waterside places in the state in a casual atmosphere with good food, we were pleasantly surprised. Not usually in this area but would definitely return. For those cyclists, location is about 1/2 mile s of end of bikepath in Bristol.

Saturday evening dinner on the deck, nice atmosphere with a view. Our server Polly seemed to be a little overwhelmed and had a little difficulty handling her tables. Cocktails - Served in a timely manor, just okay because the red wine had either fruit or drain flies in it.Appetizer - Ordered the smelts fo the table, perfectly done and tasty.Main Meal - Fish overcooked, side of green beans came out cold and looked as shriveled as a 90 year old lady in a bathtub. Ordered fried clams because Polly stated there were a lot on an order; informed her didnt want the fires so could I have the spinach instead, she replied yes but there is an up-charge (wait for it). Order of fried clams come minus the fries as ordered and (ARE YOU KIDDING ME) 12 fried clams on the small size ($24.00!!) it gets better. The other plates ordered sweet potatoes for their side and they get a small sweet potato cut in half. This is where it gets better, bill comes and I see the up-charge for the spinach that was literally the size of two table spoons. (it was good though) $4.50!!! thats not an up-charge thats full price on the menu. I minus the fries and they still charge me full price.Table next to us ordered the steamed little necks and they sent them back because they "didn't taste or smell well" and no manger ever came to the table to check why. I am going to blame that on the waitress probably never told anyone.overall, everyone can have a bad night so I would probably try again but it wouldn't be for a long time. And I would not order an up-charge!Hi Fred,We are always looking to improve and thank you sincerely for your feedback. You are absolutely correct that our service was a little overwhelmed that evening - it was one of our first busy nights of the summer season and we had several newer servers working. It takes a little time for them to adjust and they will surely improve even within a weekâs time. Please come back and try us again - we have a stellar reputation with the local community for consistently excellent food and great service. The food the table sent back next to you was the only food I had to comp the entire night - it is actually an extreme rarity at our restaurant! Our ingredients are always fresh and locally sourced, and we pride ourselves on this. We also understand that we cannot please everyone, and when that happens we will do what we can to make things right and have the customer leave happy! Let us know what we can do next time to earn your 5-bubble review. Mandy DionDining Room & Beverage [email protected](401) 253-2884

Looking for a quick bite after a long day. Figured this spot would be easy and casual compared to the nicer spots in town. Had more of PUB/ bar atmosphere, super loud so minimal conversation with my group. Only bottom floor was open but server took forever. Came for a burger but really not many options. None of us were impressed. My BBQ flatbread tasted like a wet towel. No thanks...

We sat at the bar, as we usually do, and our seats were next to the door to the outside patio. The door banged INCESSANTLY because the staff goes in and out of the door to service the guests on the patio. The door doesn't close quietly - it bangs every single time. And, the staff can't be expected to close the door, they need to let it simply close behind them. So something should be done to soften the close - there are several high tops right there as well as several bar seats. I assume it also disturbs guests on the patio but probably not as much. Also, we miss the blue corn bread sticks - they're better than the yellow corn. Other than that, we love the menu because of its variety, creativity, and wonderful preparations.Thank you for your feed back we love to hear different views on our restaurant so we can grow as a whole. We have fixed our door so when it closes it no longer slams shut. Thank you!
