   Hands down, THE WORST SERVICE EVER! So bad that I can’t tell you about the food because I was so distracted by absolutely the worst service I have ever experienced. When our waiter eventually showed up he looked befuddled and confused at the fact we were sitting there. We’d been waiting so long that we decided to order our meals immediately. The waiter took our order and…..we never saw him at our table again! Not once. I had to order my beer from a different waitperson. That drink, by the way, arrived after I finished my meal, so I sent it back. We watched other waitstaff stop by their tables multiple times and we watched the manager walk around and talk to some guests. And we watched our waiter walk right past us like we had lepresy, or worse. We don’t have lepresy, or worse. I’ve had not great service where I want to leave a small tip or no tip, but I never do. At The Wheel, however, for the first time in my life, I left no tip. Who would tip a ghost?

   Wheel fire bread is delicious, as is the burger. Great selection of beers, including many from Cisco. Prosecco Rose was a favorite of my wife's. Summer time with the windows open and live music makes for a great afternoon.

   You’ve gotta hit this place up! Made the most last minute of birthday reservations for 5 here—I was booking the table as I got off of Captain John’s tiki tour boat (shoutout to him too!) Which is about 30 seconds of a walk to the front door of The Wheel)—we got in immediately. You’ll notice quick the decor is wheely cool. Our server was absolutely amazing, and understood the vibe assignment from the jump; I’m devastated for not remembering her name, but I blame their amazing mimosa that absolutely did its job lmao. Not an overwhelming menu, yet still has a variety of inclusive choices. I’ll be dreaming of their banana bread for the rest of my life!

   We always love the Wheel.... the service is always excellent and the ambience is beautiful and relaxing. We ordered the mussels to start with, but right before they came our waitress bought us over a complimentary hot dish with melted feta cheese, garlic and oil along with some pita bread which was delicious!! Between that and the Mussels with garlic bread I was already full so I ordered a Caesar Salad, and my husband had what used to be called "Brick Chicken". For some reason they changed the name on the menu to Half Roasted Chicken which was a little confusing, but he was happy that it was prepared as it had been, but with a different name. Just as an FYI.... I really miss the Eggplant Parmesan which was amazing and my favorite, and I also loved the short ribs....

   We had a great dinner at the wheel. I have a gluten allergy and they had clearly marked items on the menu, but also worked with me to let me know other options that could be adjusted to be gf. All of the food was delicious! The skin on the chicken is so crispy and good.

    We enjoyed a nice team dinner at the Wheel. We sat outside on the patio rather then inside (which got quite packed as the evening progressed). Food was very good. Service was friendly and knowledgeable - however since the restaurant is so popular the management team needs to add more service personnel to help the team be stronger. It seemed understaffed which contributed to wait times and staff having to rush. Restaurant needs better signage for parking as well. We circled the various parking lots for a while to find a legal parking spot in the parking garage.

    We tried this restaurant out, eve though some friends were not impressed. Well there will not be a second time. First the food. My cheeseburger was tasteless, and had one thin slice of cheese on it. It was a good size burger, but literally had one thin slice of cheese, so you could hardly taste the cheese. The burger itself was tasteless, and the entire dish was served warm including the french fries. The service was almost nonexistent! No one ever came by to ask if we wanted more drinks, or asked how our dinner was, nothing! After we finished dinner, we waited 45 minutes for our table to be cleared, and they still didn't ask how dinner was. The waiter was clueless, and came by and asked it we wanted desert or coffee, but we had enough, and asked for our check. The amazing thing about the night, was the manager disappeared into the back of the restaurant, and we never saw her again. You would think, that being a new restaurant, and with all these customers waiting for food, drinks and their tables to be cleared, that she would have jumped in, but maybe she didn't care enough.

    A very young vibe. Music much too loud for conversation. Food was ok - interesting! Value also ok. Best part was our waiter = pleasant, attentive, accommodating, knowledgeable. Had booked table outside on patio but closed due to rain. Would definitely give it another try outside.

    They tried to rush us the whole time. You have to give your full order at once, which I'm not a fan of, and then they took the check before we got up (meal was at 6pm, not before close or anything). Food was average.

    Great spot… but the food was just fine. Seemed like my dish was hanging out under the heat lamp for a while which made my salmon quite dry. We ordered 3 apps and 2 salmons, a pizza and a burger, the only thing I didn’t try was the burger. I would give it another shot but wouldn’t repeat on what we received.

    Great location on the water. Easy parking. Nice ambience. Food was overall delicious. We had the eggplant appetizer and meatball appetizer and pizza, all tasty. Mixed drinks were way too strong and honestly a little weird. Way too much of a heavy pour, we all 3 got different drinks and felt the same way about them. Stick with wine. Service a bit slow bringing the main dishes, but they are busy. I would definitely recommend just steer clear of the mixed drinks.

    Lobster rolls were sparsely filled with shreds of lobster, probably from the knuckle. No discernible chunks of lobster meat. Very little butter and a dry roll. A very unpleasant , unexpected experience. The hamburger and French fries were y good and the service was nice. It was our anniversary and we did not feel that our expectations were met

    I wasn't expecting how good the food was going to be. I was expecting the usual American fare. You know good, but nothing to write home about. They cooked everything to perfection. Only sour spot was the host of the day. She pre-assigned us a table in the middle of the room. When asked about being seated in a different area, she made us wait then proceeded to seat other patrons arriving after us in the area we requested! After confronting the hostess she adjusted the seating but it left a bit of sour impression.

    Loved the ambiance, even though live music was playing, (great by the way), I was able to converse with my wife, without having to shout and we were only about ten feet away from the performer. The food was great and the prices of the food where reasonable, cocktails were awesome, price a bit pricey, but the quality was great, made up for the price. The service was awesome, very friendly attentive and good humored. Overall a great experience!
