WAVE Seafood kitchen is a waterfront restaurant with a “farm to table” concept focusing on fresh local produce and regional seafood.
Perched harbor-side in the historic village of Port Jefferson, Danfords Hotel & Marina is one of Long Island’s most notable waterfront destinations. WAVE Seafood I Steak plays off the panoramic views of the Long Island Sound seen from most every table.
History Meets Modern
A sense of history and nautical whimsy is evident throughout WAVE Seafood I Steak. Walls are dressed with postcard-worthy vistas framed by colorful images of sailing ships of yesteryear and a gallery of black and white photographic seascapes. In the dining room, existing heavy timber and woodworking have been reinvigorated in a wash of white and beige. The ceiling is highlighted with oversized chocolate silk fabric shades with brass and mahogany fans. WAVE’s lounge, a chic meeting spot where amber lighting complements brick façade features brown and teal accents and a white lacquered baby grand piano.
Al fresco guests enjoy sweeping views of Port Jefferson Harbor on the Admiral’s Deck in the warmer months and may also watch the Bridgeport/Port Jefferson Ferry come and go. Boaters may set their coordinates to 40.56.94 N and 73.04.21 W and pull into one of Danfords Marina’s 75 slips. Slip-side service is also offered in which a server will bring orders placed by phone directly to the boat.
