Overall the food and service were terrific! Even with the coronavirus issues going on, the staff were very professional and genuinely interested in seeing that we had a good experience. Our only complaint -- and it's a minor one -- is that the spinach salad had a very sour taste to it, apparently a combination of the dressing and the pressed apples.

Great service, exceptional 5 course chefs tasting. Is a it loud but we knew that.

Service spot on. Of the courses, the dessert, El Rey cake was dry and small and macerated cherries not flavorful enough.

The food at Wink is always extraordinary. Sadly, some of it was too spicy for me. Once I said something the next two courses were phenomenal.

We selected the five course meal option. Each selection was paired with wine, and all were absolutely wonderful.

The wait staff especially Emily was wonderful. The scallops were fabulous. Wink is one of my favorite places.

Superb service and very professional throughout the whole staff.
September 28, 2018
We were in the wine bar and the service was good, but the food left a lot to be desired. Bruschetta bread should have been crispier, the sliders lacked depth in flavor(we had the different ones) could have used different buns, and the creme brulee would have been better with vanilla jello pudding. The wine was great and so were the mussels with some great bold flavors.
August 19, 2018
First time at Wink. Arrived early and went to the wine bar before our reservation. The atmosphere was a perfect blend of chill and snazzy. Gendaly (don't know how to spell her name!) at the bar was amazing. The food and service at the restaurant was all mind blowing, too, especially the escargot, clams, and duck! Can't wait to come back.
July 21, 2018
The staff was attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable. The food was amazing.
July 20, 2018
Brad the mgr and Nicole our server were extremely helpful and attentive. Good information about the food and wine.
July 2, 2018
We had the five-course tasting menu (with some substitutions, as the waitress suggested). Every course was good and three courses were excellent. The mussels were some of the best we have ever tasted.
June 14, 2018
The food was glorious and our server was friendly and professional. We tried some dishes that were new to us and were pleasantly surprised.
April 20, 2018
We went and celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary there. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. They went above and beyond to make our night extra special and we had a wonderful evening
March 12, 2018
The restaurant was so noisy (allowing for the fact that it’s a small restaurant) that we couldn’t talk to each other or hear the server. Also, our dinner was not nearly as good as it has been on previous occasions.
January 10, 2018
Service was amazing! Food extraordinary. Portions are small but so carefully executed.

1st time in 20 visits we order of Dailey menu. Meal was excellent and timed great.
December 9, 2017
You always get a fantastic meal and great, friendly, knowledgeable service!
November 25, 2017
Our server was very attentive, maybe talked a little too much but it's better than not talking to customers at all. So.. overall.. very good!
October 25, 2017
A bit hard to find the restaurant and work being done on building resulting in loud diesel engine noise while dining and fumes inside when the front door was opened - hopefully a one time thing
September 28, 2017
Atmosphere, service, and food were excellent.
September 20, 2017
A great experience. Good was outstanding
September 16, 2017
It's expensive but outrageously tasty and the setting is great for a special occasion.
July 24, 2017
There is not a bad pairing on the tasting menu. The wine accents the food perfectly. The meat, veggies, and sauces blend like nothing else. You won't find food like this anywhere else.
July 6, 2017
Fantastic for and excellent atmosphere. Service was impressive as well

We arrived late due to traffic, and were on a tight schedule as we had tickets to a show. We got very prompt, friendly service that accommodated our schedule beautifully with no compromise on the quality of our meal.

Our waitress was awesome and great at suggesting food @. Wine pairs. Even had our names on menu for our anniversary
September 12, 2016
Very small plates of interesting food. This is not a restaurant for greedy people.
August 29, 2016
Awesome food, outstanding service
August 17, 2016
The food was superb. They have combinations which you cannot find in other restaurants. This is money well spent on culinary delights one cannot make at home.
August 17, 2016
The food selections are always amazing!
August 16, 2016
Our server was outstanding and easily accommodated a vegan menu.
July 24, 2016
Nice, small and quaint dining atmosphere. Food was average in my opinion. Server was very attentive. Table we were at wobbled the whole time. So, for the level of restaurant this is, that should be fixed.
July 23, 2016
First class service and fabulous food!
July 16, 2016
Food was amazing & service was top notch!! Very quaint w/lots of character! Our waiter was the best we've ever had!
April 9, 2016
I had the duck which was excellent, probably the best I've had in my life. My date had the hanger steak and said it was delicious, maybe the best she has ever had.
April 4, 2016
Great menu offerings--everything was so good!
March 16, 2016
Portions were very small, and not worth the price.
March 16, 2016
Very Loud roomand it was only 25% filled. The noise level is awful.Very expensive for what you get and even the waiter couldn't explain that strange cut of beef that was on the Menu.
February 13, 2016
The food is amazing, the people are wonderful, and I really appreciate an entire vegetarian menu.
January 28, 2016
Too expensive
January 24, 2016
The food was excellent, high quality, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented.
December 29, 2015
Good food and decent atmosphere. However, for thexample amount of money charged, I have been to places with a delightful atmosphere, incredible food, better selection, and outstanding service. At this price range, this should be the expectation for all diners.
December 20, 2015
Excellent food both in flavor and appearance. Excellent, attentive service. Couldn't have been a better experience.
November 18, 2015
The food is delicious and elegant, but the menu is limited. Diners who are more steak or chicken types may not find something they want.
November 16, 2015
It is a perfect place for that special occasion. Very small and personable staff! Food was AWESOME!!!! We had the 7 course tasting and would definitely go back and do it again!
October 28, 2015
Fine dining, lovely staff, nice experience..
October 28, 2015
Had a lovely evening -- excellent food and service and although it's not inexpensive it is pretty fairly priced. Note that it's a small menu. Although we were able to carry on a conversation with our friends, the restaurant is quite noisy so it's not ideal if you're looking for a quiet meal.
September 22, 2015
There were some pros and cons but I do you and out pretty good . It was really loudly wanted to sit in the bar but she said it was full and I don't think it was. She also sold us on the liver thing that wasn't exactly what we thought it was. However she totally made it up to us In free treats
August 17, 2015
WE ENJOYED OUR MEAL INCLUDING TWO DESSERTS. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT AND WOULD ALWAYS CONSIDER WINK IN THE FUTURE.
July 3, 2015
Wine list included many new selections worth trying.
June 30, 2015
What I love about Wink is the food the prepare has such a great blend of flavors. It is also so creative, I could NEVER do it at home.
March 31, 2015
Quite possibly the BEST restaurant I've ever eaten at. The owner asks your name and greets you when you come in AND when you leave. The food is above and beyond: my hubby and I had the foie gras appetizer (sooo good) and for my meal I had this white fish (I think it was sole) while he had the hanger steak. This place fills up quickly so come early! What I loved most was dessert-- a sampler with chocolate and lemon mousse and a creme brulee. So unbelieveably amazing!
March 21, 2015
Great food and the owners are the best!
March 18, 2015
The food quality and our wait staff was outstanding. Unfortunately the host was complaining about customers in the dinning room, and kitchen staff walked through with dirty aprons for no apparent reason.
March 7, 2015
Although we had a reservation, we were not seated until 20 minutes after the scheduled time; we were seated at the adjacent and associated wine bar to wait. The atmosphere was very crowded and loud. The food was decent, but very pricey. I did not feel this was a good value, even with the certificate. However, the service was top-notch.
February 14, 2015
Great service, amazing food!
February 7, 2015
Ambience, bread, food were outstanding. Great water (I appreciate this). Dessert was perhaps even better than the entrees. All lovely. However, a single scallop, one scallop cut thinly and interleaved with some veggies and sauce does not qualify as an entree. I mean, seriously. I started coming to this restaurant way back when it first opened and the food and menu have only improved, but I'm a little sad to say that maybe the portions are a little too theoretical for me.
January 26, 2015
Excellent experience. Superb wait staff, atmosphere, food and wine.
January 23, 2015
Special experience all together. The menu was unusual. Nice presentation, good wine pairing.intimate, cozy ambience.attentive service.
January 20, 2015
The food , ambiance, and service was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
January 16, 2015
Fabulous
January 10, 2015
The service was excellent, attentive, and very friendly. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel like family. The blending of flavors in the food was amazing, especially the awesome fennel tomato soup. They have wonderful food for me (a vegetarian) and my husband ( total carnivore).
December 15, 2014
The food was perfect. Perfect presentation, taste and size. All four of us thought the experience was great.
December 14, 2014
Overall a good dining experience. Overcharged us for drinks but was fixed immediately. Service was excellent but the amount of food for the price was unsatisfactory, especially the Cioppino. It was 32.00. One scallop, 5 shrimp, 5 clams
November 9, 2014
We did the 5course tasting and had so much fun trying different dishes. Staff was great in explaining each dish and wine pairing. Loved the duck and antelope.Experience was on the expensive side but worth the experience.
November 5, 2014
The tasting menu was enjoyed by all!
October 26, 2014
A wonderful experience! Food is outstanding, satisfying but not overwhelming portions that leave you wanting a little more - and then comes dessert :)

Mark, the owner, and our server were both fantastic! The food is wonderful and we loved the quaint, personal touches and ambience. We will def be going back soon!
July 21, 2014
It's hard to single out a dish, and it would take too long to discuss all of our choices. I will say that my wife raved about the steamed mussels with mushrooms and bacon. She loves steamed mussels, but that variant may have been the best she's ever had.
July 17, 2014
Great food, great service. We love dining there. Thanks Rice Bistro!

Food tasted fresh, meal was hot and as ordered.
May 21, 2014
For some reason my sister's hot tea came 15 minutes after everyone else had their beverages. Seemed odd.
May 20, 2014
Besides the mix-up over my appetizer, everything went smoothly and tasted very good.
May 5, 2014

February 17, 2014
Was a nice place to dine, atmosphere was right and the prices were reasonable. They served food that you would not find at just any restaurant.
February 12, 2014
We love the entire experience at wink. Have been coming here for years and it's always spot on! The 5 course with wine pairings is a great option.
February 8, 2014
This is our favortie restaurant for special events. They always remember your name and treat you like royalty. The ttasting menu with wine parings is delightful. It's a small restaurant, like a Pariasian restaurant, but we like the intimacy. You can also eat in the bar..
January 17, 2014
Great wAitress.. Very attentive and food was delish
December 14, 2013

December 12, 2013
Food and service were excellent. Location is difficult to find. Located at 10th and N. Lamar behind Whole Earth.
November 30, 2013
It is a bit too expensive as far as I am concerned.
November 12, 2013
The service was very simple and cordial. Got special attention as it was my birthday (personalized menu, started ...). The food was very tasty and the portion were perfect for us. I gave 4 * and not five because of the 40 minute wait despite our reservation.
October 19, 2013
Service was excellent and food was delicious!
October 18, 2013
Had an app (Calimari Giovani), salads, Veal Parm and Chicken Alfredo. All were excellent, especially the Calimari Giovani and the homemade bread! Sat at the bar overlooking the open kitchen -- since we were in the restaurant business previously, really enjoyed watching the chefs "moves"!!! Will definetely return, and bring family and friends!
October 7, 2013
We at at the wine bar part and the food was excellent for a bar/bistro.
October 4, 2013
Awesome food!! Great service!!
September 23, 2013
I've had much better dining experiences at Wink. Our server seemed unfocused or unmotivated to be there. Our food took a long time to arrive, and it was just ok. The butternut squash soup was really good, but the salmon appetizer wasn't very appealing and the salad had too much dressing (too acidic and salty).
September 20, 2013
Good music, good food, good times!
September 19, 2013
The owners(?) came by our table, remembered our names and checked on us often.
September 18, 2013
Wink is such a friendly, neighborhood type place, like you would find in a Chicago neighborhood, for instance, where they treat you like family, even if it's your first time. Tucked away in the back corner of a parking lot makes it feel like you've found a secret treasure that only locals know about. Kinda like a 20's speak-easy feel. Very refreshing.
September 10, 2013
Excellent food!
September 1, 2013
poor quality.....burgers were hard and tasteless......orzo side was poor texture- overcooked or old?
September 1, 2013
The food was so good! Everything was fresh and gives me great joy to dine there since they shop our local farmers markets. It is good organic and most of all delicious!
August 29, 2013
Great place great food
August 29, 2013
Never had a bad meal at the restaurant.The food is the real deal Polish food and always excellent.
August 29, 2013
Food was very tastey.
August 26, 2013
stuffed shrimp was a little dry--very small portion of coconut shrimp for $12.00--nice side salad, but it should have been included in the price of the dinner--I buy shrimp at the counter on a weekly basis and know how much portions cost
August 24, 2013
It was a perfect experience. The Salad and Entrees were delicious and the dessert - a trio of their most popular choices, was one of the best I've ever had. Our waitress was perfect.
August 16, 2013
Awesome and friendly staff. We went to watch our Sounders match. Staff very easy going and are familiar with restaurant.com policy, which makes it easy for me!
August 10, 2013
very noisy, tables too close, no ambiance
August 7, 2013
We planned to have dinner but it was too hot in the restaurant so we left after a few apps.
July 21, 2013
Excellent food and service. Not much atmosphere.
July 18, 2013
It was FANTASTIC!!!!!
July 16, 2013
Very pleasant.For our anniversary they greeted us warmly and gave us a menu with our names on it saying happy anniversary. The staff all signed the menu. Very cordial to us even thought we spit an entree.
July 16, 2013
Slow service, microscopic serving size and extremely over priced.
July 14, 2013
The service was great. They were very attentive and offered suggestions. The food was outstanding.
July 10, 2013
the food is always outstanding; creative, varied, perfectly cooked and of outstanding freshness.

Personable and knowledgeable waitstaff. This time I had foie gras and duck breast, but I have always enjoyed everything I've had at Wink.
July 9, 2013
Didn't get the waiters name, but he was extremely friendly and personable. Meal was delicious. Loved the way he described the food as he presented it.

April 19, 2013
Beautiful and delicious food, excellent service
March 18, 2013
Lack of non-seafood/traditional options on menu such as Filet. Small portion sizes. Lamb was so fatty, I think I had litterly 4 bites for dinner.
February 20, 2013
Great staff which was what made the experience special even before the meal started. The food was amazing
February 15, 2013
waiter, food taste, atmosphere
February 15, 2013
Ambience was nice. Felt as though the staff did a great job checking in with us; aside from our server, 3 other people checked on us during our dinner.The food however, was extremely overpriced for the plates. Had the beef tartar and scallops (2). The quality was good, but speaking comparatively to other restaurants I enjoy (Uchi, foreign & domestic, vino vino) the size of the dinner portions and lack of accompanying side/garnish was extremely disappointing. Plus, no happy hour wine prices? Will not return.
February 15, 2013
Our experience was fine except for a loud party of two. When we brought this up with our server, she was glad to move us to another table.
February 15, 2013
Wink personalized the menu for my birthday and the staff all signed it.
February 2, 2013
The host remembered my husbands name and called him Ron when we left. The waiter was very fun and friendly even though we spit a meal and were not a top paying customer on Friday evening.The food was great. The music, if any, was quiet. The room was a little noisy, crowed and small but very nice. We will go again and recommend it highly.
February 2, 2013
Wink is the "gold standard" dining experience in Austin, Texas. Once again, we enjoyed innovative and delicious food, paired with exquisite wines. The service is impeccable - from the presentation of the amuse bouche to the delivery of the check.
February 2, 2013
Excellent in every way. At or very near the top of restaurants in a city noted for great food. We will deffently be back.
January 21, 2013
Wonderful food, everything was terrific - main entree and all the side dishes. Best lemon dessert ever!
January 19, 2013

Nice relaxed dinner. Service was nice but not overbearing. Food was excellent
January 17, 2013
great food, great service, great coffee, excellent atmosphere (lighting, tables, decor).
January 8, 2013
The service was superior
January 5, 2013
JoJo was our server and did an excellent job with service. Provided us with information and when asked for advice regarding one item versuses another she provided excellent information regarding the dish.
November 28, 2012
The ambience and food were excellent. Really wish they would hire more friendly wait staff to round out the experience. I'm paying $150 for a dining experience, after all.
November 26, 2012
These people have a profound understanding of what it takes to make a special dining experience--from the initial greeting, excellent food & service, to the goodbye. A bit pricey, but a good value, worth every penny.
November 18, 2012
Waitress not as interactive as we are used to.
November 11, 2012
Excellently prepared dishes, plus great service from sommelier/waiter Paul!!
October 28, 2012
We were delighted to find that WINK seated late enough for a post-theatre dinner. Beautifully prepared and plated entrees, as always.Still ranks the BEST service in Austin as we see it!
October 27, 2012
The staff was very informed about the menu and the ingredients used in each dish.
October 25, 2012
Friendly, food well prepared
October 17, 2012
The waiter was great and very attentive!
October 15, 2012
They have a separate vegetarian menu and great wine
October 12, 2012
I would be great if you could find a way to dampen the noise level.
October 10, 2012
Food excellent, service was lacking.
September 9, 2012
Both the food and staff at Wink are wonderful, they go out of their way to make you feel like you are a guest in their home. It is one of our favorite restaurants in Austin.
August 28, 2012
I ate in the wine bar section and the server never failed to inform me of where my food came from and had information on my wine selections
August 27, 2012
The food was fantastic, but the restaurant was so hot that my husband and I were extremely uncomfortable. We left and had dessert someplace else because we couldn't stand the heat any longer
August 6, 2012
Staff was just too overbearing. I was uncomfortable with how involved they were--I felt like I couldn't carry on a conversation, or even glance around at the decor without someone rushing over to our table.
August 4, 2012
Small portions, but that's ok. A little warm in the restaurant. Other than that, great.
July 16, 2012
Thanks for a great experience!
July 15, 2012
I felt like the quality of service decreased once they knew we were using a restaurant.com certificate. That was disappointing. Wink used restaurant.com has a method of advertisement. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
July 11, 2012
One of the best meals I ever had in Austin
July 8, 2012
Wink was an outstanding dining experience! The server was attentive and knowledgable. Every dish was extraordinary! We will definitely return!
June 24, 2012
We have been BIG fans of Wink for many years. This last trip was a bit of a let down. The noise was nearly intolerable and the food wasn't quite as good as it used to be. Something is missing.
June 5, 2012
HIghly Recommend for a nice dinner!
June 4, 2012
The food was amazing! The portions were a bit small for the price
June 3, 2012
Excellent food and service. Great value.
May 24, 2012
I enjoy Wink, but on this occasion, the meat was all too rare. We ordered Strip steak MW and it was M-MR. We had two orders of Foie Gras and it was way too rare for 3 of the 4 of us. I couldn't eat it. I have had it before and it was amazing. My friends did not want to send food back, however I should have insisted.
May 20, 2012
Fantastic service!
May 18, 2012
Great food. My fiance tried the antelope and it was done right!

I have a severe egg allergy and the chef in the kitchen stopped everything to make sure that my allergy concerns were met. The food was incredible and because the waiter was a little late in serving us our wine she gave us a free appetizer. Wink is one of Austin's best high-end restaurants!
May 15, 2012
Only reasons I didnt rate everything as excellent were that entrees were warm but not hot, and dessert plates not distributed
May 13, 2012
A gem!

The food tasted great. Initial take on portions was that they were too small...but everyone in the party left content and full (appetizer, entree, and dessert). We really liked the personalized menu for my wife's birthday.

Had a wonderful experience, would dine here much more if in our budget :) Excited to try HH though!

The manager was so nice, and we appreciated him making us feel welcome as he shook our hands and led us to our reserved spot in the restaurant. It was very loud, but definitely tasty!
April 23, 2012
Our server at bar was a young guy who told us he could not really give suggestions b/c he did not get to sample the food for the menu was changed daily. The other 2 bar servers gave lots of recommendations to their guests. Food was great! Server was avaerage at best,
April 16, 2012
We wish they had more vegetarian options.
April 11, 2012
waitress wasn't great.
April 9, 2012
Food was good but a little salty. Also the meat selections were the same as our last visit, otherwise good.
April 9, 2012
The waitstaff is by far the most personal waitstaff I have ever encountered at a restaurant.
April 6, 2012
probably heard about wink through Austin Edible mag
March 26, 2012
accoustics still wrong in there - only complaint - wish they would work on the ceiling/walls
March 6, 2012
love you guys!
March 6, 2012
I love Wink! It can be a little loud/noisy and pricy but food is really good and service is outstanding!
March 5, 2012
Like the concept. Nice place.
February 25, 2012
Great food, service and ambiance. A real gem.
February 21, 2012
The best dining Austin dining experience we have encounted.... have been in Austin for five years!!!!!!
February 17, 2012
We love to sit in the bar and order bar snacks as well as off the main menu there. Honestly, we have had some of the worst, frustrating service *ever* in the restaurant, but the bar staff have always been excellent - they know their stuff, they are not intrusive, but they are attentive, and always seem to be in a good mood. None of those qualities have manifested in the restaurant waitstaff proper... "Don't ever leave the bar" is the way to go.
February 15, 2012
WINK is our #1 favorite restaurant, though we can't afford it often. For special occasions it is our go-to place. We recommend it to friends and anyone visiting Austin.
February 13, 2012
excellent service! everything tasted great :)
February 11, 2012
I was not happy with having to wait outside in the cold when we had a reservation for 7 pm. We were seated at 7.20 pm. It was too crowded at the Wink bar to stay there until our table was ready. Overall everything was good but not great. Not sure it would be worth a return trip.
February 11, 2012
Great experience from service to food. We'll definitely be back!
February 2, 2012
Great food, great service, great experience!
February 1, 2012
The food was just not worth the prices charged. It portions are reduced and prices are higher than average I expect excellent flavor and that just does not happen here.
January 29, 2012
The food and service are spectacular here! Every guest is greeted by name throughout the evening. The food is wonderfully prepared, fully explained, and paired with wonderful drinks. A fantastic experience and a great place to celebrate a special event. Vegetarians and carnivores alike are catered to as well. We enjoyed the wonderful 5 course tasting menu paired with wines. Yummy!
January 17, 2012
Great service...Food was great as usual..will definitely come back
January 15, 2012
One of my fav Austin restaurants!
January 11, 2012
Superb, flavorful, well executed menu with organic locally grown food. Will cheerfully create a vegan menu on request. Wines unique and well chosen.
January 6, 2012
Fantastic!
December 28, 2011
Food is first rate.
December 27, 2011
Overpriced for quantity of food. Server lacked warmth.
December 23, 2011
We both had the 5-course tasting menu. The food was incredible! That was the best meal we've had in Austin in the past few years. Our server, Jo Jo was outstanding. She even turned the loud, brassy jazz music down which enhanced our experience greatly. We will definitely go back to Wink!!
December 18, 2011
The service was exceptional, and they made a vegetarian meal based on my preferences. The menu changes daily, so they print menus daily. You get a printed menu with your names and celebration, signed by the chefs and wait staff to take home.
December 17, 2011
Live the food and the wine bar is so relaxing!
December 11, 2011
Fantastic experience overall.
December 10, 2011
Very good meal but a bit pricey, even for a top-notch restaurant.
December 8, 2011
My bison had WAY too much pepper on it
December 2, 2011
Service was exceptional! The food was amazing and I will be back again soon.
November 30, 2011
really great restaurant. the staff introduce themselves in the beginning and ask you name, and remember it you entire visit.
November 22, 2011
Great service, friendly atmosphere, nice touch personalizing the menu for us on our anniversary
November 19, 2011
Delicious food, great service!
November 17, 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. They went out of their way to make our special occasion even more special. We will definitely go back.
November 16, 2011
Mark is great!
November 13, 2011
Have been going to Wink since it opened and it has never failed to satisfy.
November 11, 2011
Deborah, our server, was wonderful. She helped with wine selection and overall explained the menu to us. She was great. Overall, we were treated like we owned the place. We will definitely be back for another wonderful dinner in the future. Thank you.
November 7, 2011
Service is always great..could be a bit more personal..what anniversary are you celebrating....if food is good. One thing. Service good. Another. Both great can't beat it ever
November 7, 2011
It's a favorite to take people to who haven't been.
November 2, 2011
good special occasion dining
October 20, 2011
I have been recommending Wink to everyone. The food was amazing! The service was also terrific, and I loved the cozy restaurant.
October 18, 2011
forgot how good this place was, and why it took me so long to come back
October 17, 2011
The food and service were excellent, I'll definitely be returning!
October 17, 2011
Excellent food and service.
October 10, 2011
Food and wine were amazing. Great service. Would definitely go again
September 29, 2011
We've been meaning to try Wink for a long time. This gave us an excuse to have a nice dinner out and finally get our butts out to try Wink! We loved it. No surprise.
September 29, 2011
Wink is a fantastic restaurant. Everything was perfect.
September 20, 2011
Outstanding!
September 18, 2011
Just didn't get the point of 3 scallops for $30 served with Brussels greens. The only thing special about this entree is that it contain almost no food. The salads were a bit over-priced but delicious. After growing up in the Northeastern US, I found the flounder entree standard fare that I could have gotten at any restaurant down the street from where I grew up. The top of the creme brûlée was charred but the lemon dessert was a taste treat. Simply having the waitress warn you in advance that the meals focus on quality not quantity doesn't automatically make them exceptional dishes. Within 20 minutes, wait staff spilled water twice at our table and once at the table next to us.
September 13, 2011
manager was super nice and found a table for us without a reservation!
September 12, 2011
A very enjoyable experience. I've been recommending it to others.
September 10, 2011
Wink, simply put, is dining perfection in Austin. Our meal last night was outstanding (as always) - such great attention to detail, both in quality of food and service. The wine list is superb, and our server did a fine job pairing wines with each of our courses. I "wish" we could "WINK" every week!!
September 7, 2011
The service is usually really great. Last night was an exception.
August 24, 2011
Server Paul was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, answered many questions, and enhanced our experience. Best waiter we've had in a long time anywhere. We will definitely request him next time we dine at Wink
August 22, 2011
Best kept secret!
August 20, 2011
It was a great restaurant! One of the best I've been to in Austin, and I've lived here my whole life. The manager up front, was wonderful as he took time (although he didn't have much time to do it) to memorize every diner's name. Impressive! I will be returning on my birthday!
August 19, 2011
Although I actually like salt, I felt the salt was a little too heavy on the scallops and beef. Otherwise, the cooking of those was excellent and the scallops had perfect texture.
August 18, 2011
wonderful restaurant with interesting and delicious menu options
August 18, 2011
Wonderful food and service!
August 17, 2011
Wink stood up to every expectation I had. The food was fabulous and our waiter Lucas was outstanding! Bravo Wink!
August 13, 2011
food was too salty
August 7, 2011
Very impressed with Wink. They personalize the menu for each table/special occasion and great you by name. Very friendly staff!
August 6, 2011
Great food and service...as usual!!
August 5, 2011
The man who greeted us at the door took the time to learn our names and then said goodbye to each of us by name when we left. That was a nice touch.
August 1, 2011
Wink is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The service is incredible, super friendly staff and of course the food is magnificent. Just keep doing what you do.
August 1, 2011
Wink has awesome wait staff. They remembered our names. It was my daughter's birthday. Our menus acknowledged her birthday and the restaurant employees and owner signed it for her.
July 25, 2011
Thanks Mark for making this all happen.. you're the BEST !
July 25, 2011
The service here was exceptional. When we showed up at the wine bar instead of the actual restaurant, someone walked us over to the restaurant side. Very nice. And we received a handshake upon entering. Not very common to receive such personal service.
July 24, 2011
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the food, the atmosphere and the genial vibe at Wink.
July 19, 2011
Very tiny portions, very overpriced
