About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
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.

    Amazing food, very nice staff, but the service was a bit slow. The place was packed though, so perhaps that’s why.

    Ordered the mesclun salad with salmon which although tasty, was the smallest piece of salmon I’ve ever seen — LOL.
