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.

    Our visit was exceptional from start to finish! Service was impeccable, food could not have been more delicious! There was a small issue with one of the appetizers we ordered and we received an immediate apology about it, and it was removed from the bill! Would recommend 10/10

    The whipped eggplant, lobster roll, and ice cream sundae were the standout dishes for me.

    I travel and experience different restaurants every weekend exploring the experience of new places . This restaurant is definitely only visibly pleasing. We were seated by 820pm but didn’t get our entire till almost 10pm. My meal was cold bland and lacked the tuna I was overpriced for. It’s not a place I want to return to unfortunately.

    Service is my focus here. The greeting at the front door was enthusiastic and we were asked if we preferred outside seating and they made space for us immediately. Then our waiter-she was great! She was attentive and funny. My parents were on a restricted diet and she made sure they got exactly the right order. I made one small request on my order which most restaurants still get wrong, but it was perfect. Really great attention to detail across the board and it made for a really great experience. As for the food - we loved their Bloody Mary's. In particular my short rib hash with spicy hollandaise and my son's spicy chicken sandwich were standouts.
