Wink Wink Food and Drink

We went in for savor Sarasota, we had never heard of the place before. We weren't aware it was located in a hotel before arriving. We were probably the only people there that weren't guests of the hotel. We sat at the bar. The food was great, we had the brussle sprouts ( AMAZING), and the meatloaf and the poke bowl. Enjoyed all of the food. The bartender ( I think Toni) was very nice and enjoyable to talk to. She made us feel very comfortable. We had a beer from tap that was poured that was warm. When we mentioned it, it was promptly addressed and fixed without issue. Very good experience.

Staff was nice and did a good job. Food was...ok. First plate of deviled eggs were good. Second plate tasted old. The brisket bao tacos were old, dry and inedible. Chicken bao was ok. Brussels sprouts were very good. Crab cake was good. I don't think I'd come back except maybe for a drink but not for the food.

We were celebrating a dear friend's bday and couldn't have asked for better food or service. We ordered a big variety of shareables: mushroom pasta, bao buns, arugula salad, Brussels —everything g was fantastic. They surprised our bday girl with a mocktail and desert in the house. We will be back for sure!

Jersey was so phenomenal! great service and wonderful personality. Definitely will come back!

We love Toni at the bar. She's makes a great drink and is so fun.

The ambience is fabulous! They have indoor and outdoor spaces The waiters and team are always welcoming and helpful. They are very efficient and knowledgeable The food - the chef never misses! Good always fabulous! Great place to eat and their pet friendly

We came on a quiet evening - unexpectedly empty outside - but the food and service was wonderful. Drinks a bit pricey but very happy with value and quality of the apps and entrees. Very whimsical, interesting and tasty!

Oh. My. God. That may have been the worst meal of my entire life.

Don’t let the 4.5-star review or the perfectly filtered OpenTable photos fool you. Let’s start from the top.

The drinks? Meh. Barely passable. We ordered the crab cakes and Brussels sprouts to start, and I’m pretty sure I now have internal regrets and possibly a parasite internship program setting up shop in my colon. The Brussels? Let’s just say they tasted like someone hated them before they hit the plate.

At this point, hope was fading fast… then came the entrees. I ordered the fried chicken. My friend got the NY strip. All I can say is: NO. Just… no.

Possibly the most offensive meal I’ve ever had the displeasure of paying for. Honestly, the only redeeming things in that building were our sweet server, Juliana, and the vending machine near the bathroom.

The bill? Over $200 with tip. And frankly, I feel like they should have paid me to eat that disaster. I left everything on my plate and then accidentally left the rest in the bathroom stall. Someone please retrieve it before it mutates into a new pandemic.

Save yourself. Stay away. Eat literally anywhere else.

Wink Wink is a cute and cozy little spot with picture friendly foods and drinks. I came here with a coworker on a work trip and we split the Deviled Eggs, he got the Meatloaf and I got the Blackened Grouper. We also split a Hand Pie. It was all delicious! The drinks were spot on too. Our server Julliana was wonderful and friendly and provided a great experience. They also have a fun vending machine that I couldn't resist finding out what kind of random ridiculous socks I could get (I'm a sucker for socks lol) and I was pleasantly surprised.

Wonderful food and drinks. Great happy hour specials.

Cute spot. Service was fantastic so were the drinks. Food was ok. Presentation did not match taste.

Quinoa salad and the burger were amazing. They have a spicy Margarita that is delicious! The service is impeccable and it just has a great, fun vibe.

Made reservation showed up at 3:30 and there was nobody in the restaurant to greet us had to go to the hotel lobby and speak to them. They went in to get someone they came out and looked at us and never came to seat us. We waited for a couple more minutes had to go back to the hotel desk and ask for help again. After they went in to find the hostess, we were getting ready to leave and then she came out. We decided to give it a chance and have food. It was par at best. Also service was very slow, considering we were the only people in the restaurant. Extremely disappointing will not go back. 

Lovely cosmopolitan bar with great FL esque artwork. Lovely servers and delicious cocktails. Beautiful terrace

I stay at this hotel on a regular basis and tend not to eat in hotel restaurants. I'm really glad I tried Wink Wink as dinner was great. I had the Tuna Poke bowl and it was great!
