My daughter and I choose the 5 course meal option on the menu and with every new course we were delighted with delicious combinations of ingredients, spices and sauces....all yummy! Wink is an intimate gem of a gourmet restaurant and offers pairings of wine with every course if you chose this option. If you want an intimate atmosphere where you can carry on a conversation without having to shout to be heard, definitely make a reservation at Wink and treat yourself to a special experience.

I am convinced this is the best restaurant in Austin. We have been here twice and both times nothing missed at all. The food is prepared at 3 star Michelin level, and the chef is brave enough to tie food groups together that you would have never expected to be compliments of each other. The waiters are in another league of their own whenever compared to other wait staffs. They are incredibly knowledgeable of their menu, they are prompt, and most importantly they make you feel comfortable in their restaurant. It’s clear that the entire staff has a passion for the restaurant and serving people the most amazing food possible.

My wife and I were looking for a quiet place to connect for date night and Wink did not disappoint. Our server was so helpful and the food is excellent. I highly recommend the tasting menu with 5 or 7 courses. We will be back!

We had a fabulous dining experience! The Flounder was delicious! Also, the Chef’s Tasting Menu is a great way to try different things. Everything was spectacular! We will go back when visiting Austin again.

Wink is a longtime favorite, but we hadn’t been in a while. We returned for our 26th wedding anniversary and were reminded why Wink is one of Austin’s absolute gems. Vincent and his service team are impeccable… attentive and knowledgeable but never invasive. And the food is truly outstanding. We had the five-course tasting menu and it was dreamy. Wink made our anniversary dinner more special than we could ever have expected.
