Best Brunch in Fairfield County. Broad menu. Very attentive service. Ample onsite free parking. Outstanding warm bread and butter. Even on a rainy day, the interior is bright and spacious.

Our original check was $289, yet the waiter returned with a receipt for $338 for me to sign. When I asked for the itemized bill again, I discovered a NY strip we never ordered added to the total. There was no apology — only another $339 receipt with a “refund” noted.
It was only after he noticed me photographing the receipts that he suddenly returned with the correct $289 bill, stating he voided the higher charge and needed my card again.
Needless to say what it looks like.
For a restaurant that presents itself as refined, this experience was deeply disappointing and raised serious concerns about their billing integrity. Be aware.

I like everything about it, The atmosphere, the food and today I got a really friendly and polite waiter Andres, he makes us feel more comfortable and welcome Which I think, that’s the point for people to come back

5 people, 3 different dietary preferences/needs and 5 happy people. Thus 5 stars. Ambience was good. Yea service wasn't fast but it was informed and polite. Prices were fair for the quality and quantity of food. I've paid double for half the amount of more exquisite food. This was just fine.

Excellent ! The Wheel never disappoints to be honest- we are so happy to have such a reliable and great restaurant in Stamford! Thank you so much!

As always, the food was great, the service was very professional, and it was an overall enjoyable experience.

We were at the Wheel on Saturday with a group of girlfriends. While the location and the atmosphere are very nice I cannot say the same about the food. I ordered the Salmon with vinaigrette and it was so salty and soaked in vinegar I couldn't bare. I tried to finish it but couldn't.When I was asked if I wanted the rest boxed i told the waiter I didn't like it and explained it was too salty. I was expecting some kind of acknowledgement.My friends weren't also satisfied with their food and some appetizers were also very salty but when a guest has something to say I think addressing its concerns is important in this business.

Great time having dinner and drinks here with a girl friend prior to seeing a show. Highly recommend the short rib!

Two people end up with a $110 bill, 1 salad and 2 entries. The taste was okay, but definitely too pricy for its value. Only a few pieces of lobster in the the lobster Gnocchi dish and the majarity is the carbs of course. The bbq rib comes as a big chunk, not recommended. The vegetable sides (corn meal, baby broccolli) came with it were relatively a lot better.
We took a friend who is moving away for a good-bye lunch, We had been there before but she had not, and she absolutely loved it. The food (burgers and a lobster roll, plus 2 different ice cream desserts) was delicious! Service was great and the setting was lovely. All in all a perfect time for all of us.

We went for a midday dinner at 2 pm on Sunday and they didn't start serving its g off the dinner menu until 3:30 pm. We had to order brunch. The website said nothing about the hours for Sunday brunch vs dinner.

Party of four on a Sunday night. Ordered two appetizers, the Brussel sprouts and the whipped eggplant. The whipped eggplant was AMAZING and came with warmed pita bread. We all loved it! For dinner we went light as we overdid it with the apps. Two of us opted for the Caesar salad (one with chicken, the other just the salad). One ordered the salmon dish and she said it delicious and cooked to perfection. The fourth ordered a Margherita pizza which she said was just ok. This was our second time there and will definitely go again.

Disappointing. We had a group event there. Great location. The private room was uncomfortably warm (apparently no ventilation). The fixed menu food was average. It seemed that they were short servers this day as we rarely saw our server, our brunch took over 2 hours, and it was difficult to find the staff to pay the bill. (And the restaurant was not that full.) Perhaps a smaller group would fare better and the outside tables looked nice, but I can't recommend this place for a group event.

Lovely Hostess. Attentive service. Terrific variety of eats options on the menu. Really enjoyed the Chopped Salad. My friend loved the Falafel sandwich. We will come back for dinner. Nice to be on the water as well.
