The Wheel - Stamford

It was a quiet Sunday evening with just one waiter on duty. Unfortunately, the service was quite slow, possibly indicating that the kitchen was not operating at full capacity. The waiter was friendly and appeared to be working hard despite the low number of customers. The food we received was tasty, but it arrived at best lukewarm. There was something just not quite right about the experience.

Excellent service, absolutely spotless, and the food was truly delicious!

Great service! Been here before but not for brunch. Tried all new things. Don’t miss the banana bread!

The Wheel is an excellent setting for a meal. Of course in the winter it is not as beautiful as it would be in the summer with the boats and scenery. The service was ok but on New Year’s Day with a buffet there was little to do except take our drink order and come around from time to time asking how everything was. The presentation of the food was excellent and it tasted great. My main complaint was that the items that usually needed to be eaten warm were ice cold and there was no manner of re-heating. My other concerns were that there was no offering of any shellfish such as clams, mussels or other crustaceans. I’m not complaining as there were plenty of lobster fillings and the shrimps were very tasty, but I researched the various restaurants serving a brunch and The Wheel had the highest fixed price. A little more seafood would have justified the cost. All in all it was an enjoyable experience, but the concerns I itemized detracted from making it outstanding. We made the best of what was offered.

While the venue is lovely and have been there before it was lacking for a NewYear’s Eve party. We expected much more especially for the price.
