Costa d’Este Beach Resort has debuted a new restaurant concept, The Wave Kitchen & Bar, in its ocean-front dining space with amazing views of the Atlantic. The new restaurant offers a menu directly sourced from local farmers, fishermen and artisanal purveyors. “Costa d’Este has had the generous support of the vibrant Vero Beach community over the last few years, and we wanted to invest in our backyard,” states Charles Nehme, General Manager. “We’ve partnered with local farms and purveyors to highlight the best culinary ingredients available in the region and support the local economy.”

The Wave concept was designed to offer a dining experience similar to what one would encounter at a hospitable and cozy dinner party at a friend’s home with generous attention to detail. The open kitchen and customizable selections aim to engage guests. In addition to classic selections like Center Cut Filet Mignon served with Sauce Béarnaise and Pork Tenderloin served with Natural au Jus infused with Port Wine, diners are able to customize entrée selections with choice of preparation style, sauce and temperature. The Wave will also feature select Cuban specialties developed by Costa’s owners, Emilio and Gloria Estefan, for their Estefan Kitchen cookbook.

The Wave Kitchen & Bar states its commitment to local partners on its menus: “Our aim is to use local ingredients with respect to seasonal harvests as the produce achieves its full culmination of flavors. We believe in products that are natural and pesticide free from local farms such as:; Osceola Organic Farms - Vero Beach, Sealed Sweet - Vero Beach, K&M Treasure Coast - Fort Pierce, B&W Growers - Belle Glade, Alderman Farms - Boynton Beach, Winter Park Dairy - Winter Park, Green Sky Growers - Winter Garden, Pero Farms - Clewiston, & Devil’s Garden.”
