That should definitely be on the dessert menu. Their spicy pineapple mocktail was also delicious. Overall a good time and I'll be back!

I was meeting up with a few friends I hadn't seen in what felt like forever, so I wanted to find a…read morespot that would make the occasion special. After doing a little research, I came across The Wheel, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. I made a reservation for Sunday brunch. Finding the entrance was a little confusing at first, and parking took a minute to figure out, but I eventually learned you can park for free at the Village next door, which made things much easier. Once I arrived, I was immediately greeted and shown to the outdoor seating area. Walking through the restaurant, I was impressed by how beautiful the property is. It is incredibly spacious, sits right on the water, and even has an additional outdoor area next door where you can relax away from the restaurant. The views alone make this place worth visiting. Our server, Freddy, was fantastic. He was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the menu, answer questions, and offer recommendations, which made the experience even better. Now onto the food. To start, we shared the Breakfast Pizza, topped with smoked bacon, crispy potatoes, roasted garlic, mozzarella, two eggs, and fresh cracked black pepper. It was a fun twist on brunch and had great flavor. We also ordered the Shrimp and Grits, made with cheddar grits, wild caught shrimp, a poached egg, and chimichurri. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich looked outstanding. Made with organic Murray's chicken, hot honey, coleslaw, and dill pickles, it came with fries and disappeared quickly. For my entrée, I ordered the Steak and Eggs, featuring grilled hanger steak, two eggs, breakfast potatoes, and chimichurri. The steak had excellent flavor, although I ordered it medium and it came out closer to well done. It was my only real issue with the meal. We also tried a couple of cocktails. The Orange Crush was refreshing and perfect for brunch, while the bourbon, Aperol, peach, Earl Grey, and lemon cocktail was smooth, balanced, and equally enjoyable. Dessert was the perfect ending. The Take 5 Sundae with peanut butter crunch, pretzels, whipped cream, vanilla bean caramel, chocolate ice cream, and hot fudge was absolutely delicious. We also had the Tres Leches, topped with strawberries and vanilla whipped cream, which was light, moist, and a great way to finish the meal. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious. Aside from the slightly confusing entrance, parking, and my overcooked steak, the entire experience was outstanding. The waterfront setting, excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, and quality food make this one of the best brunch spots in Stamford. I will definitely be back. Next time I already have my eye on the Banana Buttermilk Bread, Village Breakfast, Braised Short Rib Hash, Wheel House Burger, Margherita Pizza, Smoked Salmon Pizza, and the Crispy Chicken Sandwich for myself. For drinks, I want to try the Charred Citrus, One in a Melon, and the Orange Crush. And I definitely need to save room for the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake.

Last week I stumbled upon an advertisement from Glamour nightclub advertising $100 bottles of Ciroc…read moreor Hennessy bottle service. I thought this was a pretty good deal, especially spending most of my time in New York City where one could expect to pay upwards of around $300 for the same bottles. We were greeted by the manager who informed us this promotion does not include tip or tax which was no problem as i would not expect it to be. My thoughts were okay 20% tip and tax were walking out of there $130 - $150 depending if we left more tip or not. Once we were seated the host informed us it was only on certain flavors of Ciroc which we had not be informed about of before hand but at the price point i was not going to be picky. We decided on a bottle and the host came out poured us drinks and walked away. About 30 minutes she returned and asked us for our payment, in which we gave her a card and she declined to accept my Visa debit card. She informed us that the bottle service is cash only. I asked to see a manager because we were not informed at all that it was cash only, especially being how I wound up paying for an $80 round at the bar directly with the same card. The manager came over 30 minutes later demanding we use the ATM and pay cash for the bottle service or he was going to call the police on us. At this point it wasn't even about the points I wanted to receive on my credit card it was about the simple fact that the management was selectively making us pay cash and we had never been informed until I was two drinks down. Just a quick pointers for management if you're only accepting cash than you should tell you're patrons before, also I would suggest if you're only accepting cash than make sure you make everyone follow the same rules as you loose credibility when you're management is saying one thing and I can go to the bar buy a more expensive round and put it on a card. Or maybe it was the fact that my party and myself where the only Caucasians in the club and they were looking to take advantage of us due to racial stereotypes? I didn't really want to bring it there but nobody else seemed to have this issue just our table? The supervisor or whoever was demanding CASH couldn't even say anything but look away and say Cash only or I am calling the police because he knew it was wrong. In the end what seemed like a good deal just turned out to be a hassle and ruined my night.

From the moment we walked in, the hospitality from the staff,and chef made us feel right at home. We started drinks with a Strawberry Cosmo and a Paloma Spritz. Both refreshing and dangerously strong in the best way possible. For apps we came for the Crispy Duck on Sushi Rice, and as someone who usually scared to eat duck, this completely changed my mind. The duck was unbelievably crispy, similar to crispy prosciutto, and paired perfectly with their special sauce. We also had to do the Crab Cake was another standout, especially with the house-made Green Goddess dressing. The chef even came out to explain how he prepares the sauce, which made the experience feel much more special. For the entrees, we ordered the Linguine Fra Diavolo, loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp and the perfect amount of spice, alongside the Steak & Chips finished with a truffle vinaigrette. Somehow, every single dish just kept getting better. And because we clearly hadn't eaten enough, we had to try the Bacon Mac & Cheese Balls with smoked tomato sauce. I honestly could've eaten an entire plate of those. To end our meal, the chef surprised us with his Duck Egg Brownie, and it was one of the softest, fudgiest brownies I've ever had. A 2 hour train ride sounds crazy... but Flinders Lane made it absolutely worth the trip. I can't wait to come back to try the kangaroo!

Seating as comfy and the interior looked and felt like a high caliber steakhouse. As usual, the steak was generously, pleasantly and perfectly seasoned with a nice char and spot-on temperature. Also was very tender. The shrimp were extra large, plump and fresh--a healthy choice that--due to the toothsome cocktail sauce, did not sacrifice flavor. The fries were the quintessential steakhouse sort, crispy but not soggy. Add your own salt since it might need a little more than they apply. I almost forgot, the bead basket had several different types like onion, wafer, and sourdough which all were fantastic.
