The Wheel - Stamford | Vibrant Dining with Scenic Views and Exceptional Flavors

This place is in a great location! Amazing atmosphere! I went there once because of a wedding celebration. So I decided to go back again. Unfortunately, I may have to reconsider going again for a third time. What ruined my experience was when the waiter brought me my glass of wine. I noticed a piece of cork in my glass. I brought this to my waiter's attention. Instead of getting a new glass of wine, he proceeded to get a straw and used the paper tip of the straw to remove the piece of cork. I looked at him and he looked back at me like there wasn't a problem. I said to him, "you are using paper to fish out the cork." He responded with, "I didn't touch the paper." We just stared at each other until he realized to get me a new glass of wine. Overall, the service was good. They were kind, and helpful. I think he made a bad decision in the handling of my glass wine. It was unsanitary and very informal. However, if you decide to go to The Wheel. Try the wagyu tataki and make sure your wine is cork-free.

We were in town celebrating a beautiful friend’s life and wanted a special place with a view. We were impressed by the service (Frank) and the food. We started off with the Dockside and it was delicious. Then we ordered Tuna Tartare (one of my favs), the whipped eggplant (also amazing!!), the roasted beets, and the wagyu meatballs for appetizers. We also got the Korean rice bowl, Caesar salad, Marguerite pizza, Spicy Pepperoni pizza (it is very spicy), and the wheelhouse burger. The drinks were also delicious! We were even there til closing (hence the photos of the empty restaurant). We will be back when we come in town!

Beautiful ambience. We had a dozen oysters (east coast, all juicy and tasty), good mignonette (nowadays you have to ask for it, but here it was on the tray). The Caipirinha was decent too. E kept me company w truffle fries and spicy margarita. We had the basics beyond that. The burger was as asked (med rare), juicy, not dried out. The Caesar salad not drenched in sauce, and the croutons were crunchy, flavorful and not oily. Took some time until the waiter returned to take our order and was nowhere to be found once we were ready for the check, but once he took our order the food arrived in a timely and orderly fashion. The servers were all courteous and eager to help. The sweet breeze and the atmosphere more than made up for small hick-ups. Would definitely go back.

Great vibe, amazing service and excellent lobster roll. The five o’clock somewhere cucumber martini was very good too. They allowed us to bring our small dog on the patio and even brought a bowl of water. Definitely recommend!

First time at the restaurant for dinner with a friend. The place was beautifully decorated, the outdoor patio had great views! The ambiance was immaculate. The food and service were great, our waiter Andres was amazing and very charismatic. Cannot wait to go back.

We were there on a nice cool evening and sat outside. The service was great as well as the food. I really enjoyed the roasted mushrooms. Pizza was excellent as well.

We had such an amazing time here at The Wheel. Each dish was delicious and our server was very helpful. Definitely want to come back and try more of the menu.
