   We’ve eaten at Waterwheel many times. It’s still a favorite. Food & drinks were delish. And our server, Riley was top notch…thank you again Riley!

   Lindsey did a great job insuring that all our needs were met- even asking the chef if a different side could be paired. No complaints from the others- but I specifically can say the drinks were delicious and made perfectly. I had a Crown manhattan and also a Tanqueray Gin and Tonic Tall (one shot). Both very smooth. Food was excellent- had the Tuna appetizer and Steak Frites done to perfection. Other’s had a burger, the chicken and crab cakes. Also they had some live music that added to a nice night out with our daughter and her husband.

   Prices have increased since the last time we dined there. Good food though not exceptional. Drinks were a bit “weak” but ok. We’ll go back mainly for being in close proximity to us.

    This was our first visit, but it won't be our last. We were seated promptly and greeted almost immediately by David, our outstanding waiter. He was friendly and professional - with a great working knowledge of the menu items. We ordered one of the daily specials - a cheese board appetizer and it bountiful, beautiful, fresh and delicious! For dinner, we each had a sandwich from the regular menu. Each was plated nicely, and the sandwiches were a good size for the cost. We each savored our own sandwich, but we will try different selections on our next visit so we can explore the menu further.

    Out with friends and 3 of us were very pleased with all aspects of the dining experience last night. The 4th friend had a chicken sandwich which he said was a little dry but none the less still good. The restaurant was very busy yet service was still very good. An obvious amount of good teamwork helped make it a wonderful evening. Thank you ALL!

    What a delightful surprise! Yummy food in generous portions. Delightful waiter Harry took great care of us and helped us make our 7:00 curtain. A fun, family vibe that made it a little loud but we did not come for haute cuisine. Kitchen was accommodating for changes; French Onion Soup was truly vegetarian and came with scissors to cut the cheese! Fries super-crispy and crab cakes all crab. Nice assortment of options from burgers to tuna tartare. We'll definitely come back when we're up from Philly for ArtYard again.

    Excellent service. Good food. Ordered the scallops they were really good. The steaks were just ok. Not cooked medium they were more on the rare side. Good drinks and the food came out at a good pace.

    The food was great, she crab soup, crab cakes and Ahi tuna all were terrific. Our only issue is we felt a little crowded as they set up an additional table between us and the gentleman who was performing in the bar kind of backing us into a corner.

    The food was good for the most part but the service left much to be desired, and was just a really strange experience with the staff forgetting orders and sending other staff to confirm orders but not double check substitutions or anything like that. Also the bacon risotto was really disappointing.

    Fantastic food with live music on a Thursday night. We were celebrating a birthday, and the four entrees we ordered were the crabcake sandwich, the French dip, the Steakhouse burger, and the chicken fig sandwich. All four of us thought our meals were delicious. I got honey mustard and ranch on the side of my tasty fries, and even the dipping sauces were a win. Definitely recommend if you want good food with a great atmosphere. All four of us can't wait to come back. Thanks for a nice night!

    We really like the Water Wheel. It's an old grist mill hat has been updated over the past few years. Nice ambience, not too loud. Food is consistently good and they have a nice assortment of pub fare as well as entrees and specials. Large selection of beers as you might expect. Staff is very nice and friendly. Prices are about what you'd expect for a pub/grill.

    My business associate and I went there for dinner. We both had the Crab Bisque, Seared Tuna Appetizer and Boneless Wings all of which was very good. My only disappointment was when they brought out one seared tuna and said that the other will be coming out shortly. I waited about 10 minutes and checked on it. They looked at the order and said just one was ordered after I was previously told the other one was on it's way.

    A very nice restaurant with a lot of space. A bit noisy with a large crowd, bit not overbearing. Food was very good. Only had two dishes, but they were done well. Looking forward to see what the outdoor seating will be like in warmer weather

    Service was outstanding. Thank you. Lunch menu is limited. All the good stuff on the menu is marked dinner only. So pick from burgers, sandwiches, salads etc. Seared ahi tuna was excellent. Fish n chips was ridiculously oversized two battered filets on a platter of fries. Enough food for a family. Grilled cheese and onion rings were very good. Will go back again but likely for the dinner menu
