Danford's Launches New Restaurant
Wave Restaurant Captures Long Island Sound Views
By Sara Ricard
A new restaurant whose name plays off the panoramic views of the Long Island Sound has opened at Danfords Hotel & Marina in Port Jefferson. At the Wave Restaurant & Lounge, diners can see the Sound from almost every table. Executive Chef Paul Govin serves an eclectic New American menu flavored with Italian, Asian, Latin American and Southwestern influences. Flavorful creations are paired with an extensive wine list.
Dante Paganini, owner of DEP Design in Huntington, N.Y. designed the interior space. A sense of history and nautical whimsy is evident throughout. In the lounge, brown and teal accents anchor the all-white interior where amber lighting complements brick façade. It is the starting point for a special evening, or a main venue for a light dinner. The tapas menu can be enjoyed at one of the 40-seats inside. The contemporary nautical theme continues into the dining room where existing heavy timber and woodworking have been reinvigorated in a wash of white and beige. Postcard-worthy vistas are framed by colorful images of sailing ships, while in season, al fresco guests enjoy sweeping views of Port Jefferson Harbor on the Admiral's Deck.
This New American eatery features an eclectic menu of flavor-rich cuisine showcasing seasonal selections and artisanal products including breads, farm-fresh cheeses and produce. Appetizers range from $5-$16 and include: Antipasto Melange, WAVE Salad field greens, walnuts, gorgonzola, onions, tomatoes, dried cherries and vinaigrette or Chef's Kettle (daily soup).
