   Food was exquisite! Everything superb! Server John excellent. Pretty pricey; good for special occasions. Free parking which was nice, outside unimpressive and inside very small (20 tables), but not much ambience. It was nice and quiet tho. The tasting menu was awesome and that they let you Taylor it to your personal preferences, wine pairings very good. Desserts divine. Highly recommend! Thank you!

   The food was excellent and everyone is very friendly. Wink also has a great wine bar if you need to kill some time before your table is ready.

   It's been awhile since we've dined here, but I will say it has not only maintained its exceptional food and service, it's gotten even better! Everything was prepared and presented perfectly. And the service was second to none. Thank you so much! We will be back again soon.

   Some of the tables along the wall are close together and the table next to was rather loud, but once they left it was as lovely and excellent as usual.

    Had the 7 course meal with wine pairings. Probably should have had the 5 course. It’s a lot of food and wine. Spectacular service! A little loud but manageable. Highly recommend

    Wink has been one of our favorites for probably 20 years and they never disappoint. Food is creative and excellent, as is the wine list. We don't get to Wink as often as we used to as we rarely get downtown since I retired and traffic makes it more than an hour away. It's very much worth the trip, however.

    Wonderful meal at Wink! We were regulars at Wink for many years but hadn't been for at least 8 years and so we wanted to revisit our old favorite. We had the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing and, wow, what great service and food. My only feedback would be to sunset the Wink Trio desserts - they are good but too predictable for a menu that changes based on the best ingredients. We will be back!

    Small plate magic shared among three of us: arugula with baby carrots, snap peas, fennel and dill buttermilk dressing; mixed greens with radish, onion, cucumber and herb vinaigrette dressing; fois gras on queso asado with tomatillo sauce and dandelion greens; blackened sweetbreads on swiss chard with herb oil; red snapper in bouillabaisse with crayfish and acorn squash; bottle of Bardos Tempranillo; creme brulee and cappuccino

    We have been eating at Wink since it first opened. It has always been a higher end neighborhood restaurant. However, it has clearly stepped up its game recently. We had the 7 course menu, and it was fantastic! John was a very attentive server, and he ensured each course came out on time. I cannot relate how many places we've eaten at with chef's tasting menus where nothing came out on any kind of decent timetable. Not so here. And the patio was quiet and pleasant.

    Wink doesn't look like much from the outside but it was a great experience. We unfortunately weren't hungry enough to get the chefs menu but I plan to try it next time. Definitely order a side with your entree if going a la carte. The wait staff was amazing. We went to celebrate a couple birthdays and had such a good time. Eating outside was very pleasant. I ordered the red snapper bouillabaisse, something salad, and split the dessert quarto. All the food was good.

    Absolutely beautiful, Intimate restaurant. The only down side was I was sitting next to a table that was talking way too loud than what’s socially acceptable at this type of restaurant. But other than that the food is phenomenal, the staff is so great. I recommend it to anyone.

    It was my husbands first time at Wink and it had been over 10 years since I had been there, but I always remembered it favorably. Such an elegant and classic environment. I loved the French music and overall feel of the restaurant as well. The food was an absolute palate party in my mouth. Everything was so flavorful. We chose items off the ala carte menu and split them. The tartare was a fabulous appetizer. We had the duck and the risotto for our entree. Won’t be another 10 years before going back!

    Jut the best. The chef/owner Stuart came out a couple times and very briefly stopped by to check in - not obtrusive - just very caring and nice. I LOVE their wine bar too. Cozy and so easy with a great and reasonably priced selection of wines by the glass with very knowledgeable folks. But back to the restaurant - we’ve been coming here for 20 years and we will keep picking this restaurant as our top choice. We like variety but this is our “go to”. So well done and unpretentious but ….good.

    Not very good compared to similar restaurants around town. I didn’t have any issues with the portions or pricing, just the food was not up to standard. The menu is uninspired, and some of the chef’s choices were unfortunate. The crab cakes are just bad. The red wine risotto is pretty good, even with a crust on top from sitting too long. Our server forgot about entire dish we ordered, but we didn’t correct him because at that point we just didn’t care to try it. We won’t return, but it was fun to visit after many years dining elsewhere.

    Realized I had not been here in a decade. The last experience was great and not sure it took so long to get back here. The meal was incredible. Even tho we opted to not do the tasting menu, our salads and entrees were exactly the right size portions. More importantly the food was top notch. And pairing the food with outstanding service from our waiter ensured that we will be back again…and not in another 10 years! My only gripe, albeit a very very small one, was the ambiance of the dining room in which we were seated. The lighting was a little bright and with white walls and odd painting it didn’t have the cozy feel I prefer in a nice restaurant. Again, small distraction to an otherwise outstanding meal.
