The Wake: Sophisticated Steakhouse at Sea

The Wake is Virgin Voyages’ modern take on a classic steakhouse. It focuses on steak and seafood, with a polished but relaxed atmosphere. It is popular for date nights, celebrations, and also for its well-known bottomless brunch.

An Elegant Atmosphere

Located at the stern of the ship, The Wake offers wide ocean views, with some tables looking directly out over the ship’s wake. Not every seat has the same view, but the overall setting feels open and stylish throughout. The space leans upscale, but the atmosphere stays comfortable and welcoming rather than overly formal.

The menu mixes steak and seafood with items like hanger steak, filet, New York strip, and New Zealand lamb chops. Appetizers such as clam chowder and roasted bone marrow are popular, and sides like creamed spinach, brown butter mushrooms, and twice-baked potato add extra variety. As of August 2026 the menus will slightly vary per ship.

Desserts are a highlight here, with the lemon cheesecake often getting strong reviews from sailors. The Baked Alaska is another popular choice and a good alternative if you prefer something lighter.

Optional Upcharges

Premium items are available for an extra charge, including raw bar selections and the aged tomahawk steak. The Grand Plateau features lobster tail, oysters, clams, shrimp, mussels, and snow crab claws, making it a popular option for seafood lovers. The tomahawk steak is also available as an additional upcharge.

Brunch/Lunch

Brunch starts at 8am with an extended lunch service starting at 12pm, which is when additional menu options become available alongside the brunch selection.

Bottomless Brunch

The Wake hosts one of two bottomless brunch options onboard, alongside Razzle Dazzle. The brunch includes unlimited drinks such as mimosas and Bloody Marys, and many sailors choose to use their Bar Tab here.

Overview

The Wake is a strong choice if you are looking for a steakhouse-style meal with a more elevated setting. Between the ocean views, classic menu options, and popular brunch, it remains one of the most booked restaurants onboard, so reservations are worth making early.
