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.

    We've eaten there in the past and it was good. Not sure if they changed management or kitchen but the burger and fries were sub par. Fries undercooked, burgar not good. The grilled chicken over salad was extremely dry. House salad tiny. Wont go back

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

    The Wheel is consistently wonderful. Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service and very good food. It is one of our go-tos and we always bring out of town guests there.

    Service was very, very, very slow. Great food as usual, but felt like we had to work for it this visit. I understand there was a large party that had to be accommodated, but still. I will certainly return, but will ask whether any large parties will have reservations at the same time before confirming my reservation.
