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 entire staff was great but the host / manager Griffin took extra steps to make sure we enjoyed our dinner. It was appreciated and we’ll be back.

    Great restaurant. Menu was good, lots of options. Very trendy, and big enough space if you decided to take kids early. Definitely going back!

    Celebrating a friends birthday. We gathered early so we could chat and catch up. Had a lovely booth for 5 of us. Everyone enjoyed the menu choices and felt we’d had a special meal in a special place. Excellent hospitality and service from the staff.

    Food was sub par… bland, and skimpy… The burger was the only good item we received out of the 6 dishes. Shortrib hash was dry with overcooked potato rosti.the jalapeno hollandaise as well as the regular hollandaise were both tasteless. Everything tasted like bad diner food except burger. Service was very good tho.Prices were too high for the quality
