Wink

American, Fusion, Eclectic

Culinary Philosophy, Wink Restaurant stresses the innovative use of the freshest ingredients. Seafood is flown in daily from both the east and west coasts, local farmers supply produce, herbs, and cheeses, and small local purveyors are constantly on the lookout for fresh, new product. Respect for these ingredients is the cornerstone of the Wink culinary philosophy. The cook's mandate is to draw out, compliment, and enhance the natural flavors, not to over manipulate and disguise the natural beauty of the product. The goal is achieved by using sauces based on fresh vegetable purees and essences, infused oils, and light stock emulsification's. This philosophy carries through to the dessert menu. Each plate is designed to compliment specific ingredient choices, from fresh local chevre to unique Venezuelan chocolate with a heavy emphasis on the freshest seasonal produce. Wine Philosophy, Wink's staff believes that wines are an integral part of the dining experience. To keep the staff and guests enthusiastic about the wine program, the wine list under goes minor additions and deletions 2 to 3 times each week. The dynamic nature of the list makes it possible to bring in wines from small vintners where production is limited, putting them on the list when they are available and dropping them off when the supply is exhausted. The wine list itself is relatively compact with 60 to 70 selections by the bottle and roughly 50 selections by the glass. There is an emphasis on food friendly wines such as sauvignon blanc, Riesling, champagne, gigondas, syrah, Grenache, and pinot noir. The service staff is well versed in the nuances of the wine list and is happy to make suggestions for wine and food pairings to make your dining experience complete.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
