About this restaurant

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.

    Excellent server Javian. He made great recommendations for dinner choices and was attentive . Food was very good but portions were a little smaller than we like. Cool vibe inside restaurant with good music. Would definitely go back again and sit outside by water .

    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.

    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
