Literally just came back from eating here tonight and I LOVED IT! I went with my partner and the food was amazing. Everything was so different than what I’m used to but they brought all these beautiful foods and they were absolutely delicious! The servers were on top of it and I have absolutely no complaints! If I could leave 100000 stars I would! Definitely going back! ✨
Amazing vegan options! Wine pairings went very well with each course. Service was impeccable; sever was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for the ideal "date" restaurant, this is the place. The restaurant specializes in coursed menus, also known as tasting menus. It's a culinary dream and will give you and your date plenty to talk about. The atmosphere is quiet but not the kind of quiet to suppress conversation. Finally the staff was extremely knowledgeable of the restaurant's offering. Enjoy, you'll love it.
I've lived in Austin for 6 years, and never heard of this restaurant. Saw it on an Eater list for best tasting menus in Austin. This place is delicious! Super cute, and a lot of fun.
7 Course Tasting Menu:
Cobia Carpaccio - 5/5
Crab Cakes - 4/5
Striped Bass - 5/5
Seared Sweetbreads - 5/5
Duck Breast - 4/5
Strip Steak - 5/5
Wink Dessert Trio - 5/5
The carpaccio was sooo light and refreshing. Striped bass was cooked perfectly, nice crispy skin. Sweetbreads were excellent, the best I've tasted. Strip steak, delicious. Dessert trio, amazing. Crab cakes were a bit dry. Duck Brest was a tad undercooked. Great date spot. Super intimate, and really fun. Wait staff is phenomenal, and super friendly. I really enjoyed this place.
A fine dining gem in downtown Austin. We opted for the 5-course tasting menu paired with wine and left very full and happy. All of the courses were very tasty (especially the duck breast and strip steak). A nice amuse-bouche was also included. The staff were helpful and friendly and gave us the best experience. Would definitely return!
If you're looking for a super special meal experience, this is your place! I love the atmosphere, the unique flavors and delicious little bites! We are always impressed and delighted when dining here! A wonderful local restaurant to make you feel fancy in our casual Austin!
My husband and I opted for the 7 course chef's tasting menu for our anniversary. While the food was not outstanding, the atmosphere and experience was fantastic.
The personalized menu, signed by the chefs for our anniversary was a sweet surprise.
Preface: This is a fine dining restaurant. You need to expect small portions and high prices.
Wonderful, seasonal menu to serve you what is fresh and local. Great options available.
Good wine list to pair with the food. They have everything you need to enjoy the food. If you like wine but ACTUALLY enjoy wine, they might not have what you need.
Service was on point with recommendations. Snobby, yes, but when you know your stuff and work at a place like this, you earn the right to be a bit snobby. For those looking to create their own experience (which is totally fine), I'd expect the server to be a bit reluctant as your choices may not be well suited for each other.
Environment was candlelit dark/dim. Perfect for a romantic celebratory dinner or nice date.
We went here specifically looking for the experience that we had. Well executed by the team at Wink.

Parking -has decent parking in front of the restaurant and has parking opposite to the restaurant, driving up the ramp.
Ambience - 80-90's fancy restaurant feel.
Food- we ended up ordering a 5 course meal with wine tasting. The food was good but I won't say it was amazing. They are known for their duck dish but the way it was presented I could see the blood drooling on the side.
They were kind enough to switch duck dish for my partners with Snapper fish which tasted good. The wines were good but the last 3 tastings were all cherry based which I felt was too much Cherry.
Service - as I was celebrating my partners birthday they specifically called me to ask her name and gave us a signed menu card as a gift. I really appreciate this gesture. Thank you.
The server was kind but kept on forgetting stuff after our 2nd course. I believe few guests came to celebrate something at the restaurant and they all got candles on their dessert but we didn't.
Conclusion - good food, cosy place, good wine collection, cost for 2 about $375 with tip.
We've been coming here for 15+ years, still as good as ever. Great wine selection, easily paired to entrees. Food and service always high quality. Save room for dessert too. Perfect for special occasion or just a nice dinner night.
