The Wheel focuses on American cuisine brimming with locally sourced ingredients in an industrial chic, waterfront setting.

Drawing on fresh ingredients from over 40 local farmers, fishermen and purveyors, the restaurant features the best of what’s in season with an ever-changing menu plus produce grown and harvested right from The Village’s rooftop garden. At the center of its open kitchen lies a hearth oven used to roast meats, fish and vegetables, as well as to bake Neapolitan-style pizzas.

    The Wheel is our go-to for ourselves and out of town guests. We all loved our meals: mushroom pizza, a grain bowl and a margarita pizza. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake ala mode with caramel sauce. We have this dessert before and it was a big hit. Our waiter, Francisco, was outstanding.

    The staff was definitely the highlight. The food was NYC quality and so were the prices... Overall a good date place and a nice ambiance to have a drink on the terrace. not five stars but close and would recommend.

    A star in Stamford. Will be back many times and especially when it's warmer and we can sit outside by the marina. Can't say enough good things about my experience.

    Pricey for sure but a great experience and food was great. Only one dish out of 6 was underwhelming. Server was also very nice - would come back for sure

    Overall, food was fresh and delicious. Waiter was friendly but had to be told several times to bring milk for hot tea and we waited a very long time to place our order and for the bill . Nice ambience.

    Fabulous food and experience. My friend is gluten free and multiple staff including Kevin, Francisco and the chef went out of their way to ensure the food was cooked to not only her needs but that it tasted stellar, Even the coffee was superb! Would come back in a minute. Highly recommend to others.

    Came on recommendation of friends from the area so we had high hopes. Hostess was very nice but it took way to long for our waitress to come to the table. Not sure if she was not trained properly but unfortunately she did the bare minimum for our visit and it did not even seem busy. The burgers were all perfect...would recommend! My wife had the salad with grilled chicken which had way too much of a really hard corn that really threw it off. Calamari was ok. Place looked great , but music was too loud for my taste. Also, the main huge door needs to be closed by staff during wind gusts by front end staff. Sorry but we prob will not return as there are many choices in the area.
