Waitress was slow and seemed like he didn’t care. Took 30 minutes to get our order taken. Food was good, atmosphere and staff was meh.

Wink & Nod has a unique vibe and warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem. The cocktails are crafted with a unique blend of top-quality spirits, house-made syrups, and fresh ingredients, resulting in flavors that are both complex and perfectly balanced.

Corey is the kind of bartender who makes the whole experience memorable. He’s attentive to the customers. His knowledge about each drink on the menu is impressive, and he clearly enjoys sharing the stories and nuances behind each cocktail. It's like having a mini cocktail class while you sip!

Wowza! A friend took me here while I was visiting. Creative drinks that were spot-on and delish! Attentive Bartender, Corey, who knows his stuff and is passionate about his job. He was fantastic! They also have flights of scotch, whiskeys, and bourbons. I'm definitely going back next time I'm in Boston.

Can’t speak about the food because we didn’t order any, but the cocktails were fantastic. Expensive (for sure), but objectively some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had in my life. Nice cocktail lounge setting as well and our server was friendly but not overly attentive.

We didn’t eat and only ordered cocktails. They were very good. Full of flavor and tasty. The service and atmosphere were also wonderful. No complaints and would definitely recommend.

Not sure why this place isn't getting better reviews. First off, our mixologist/bartender, and Corey was amazing. Attentive yet not intrusive. Made to our specifications several delicious cocktails after consultation with us. Balance of enthusiasm for his work and letting us get on with our evening. Our water glasses were never empty. Only ordered the edamame for a snack, and unlike just about every other place I've had it in the US, it was still semifirm and not overcooked (which is annoyingly the norm outside of Asia). The atmosphere was chill and just upscale enough to be a good spot without being pretentious.

If you're going to pay $20 for a cocktail there are better places in Boston to do it. Yvonne's. Hobgoblin. Lolita.

Too expensive for drinks and an atmosphere that is at best average.

Uichhh not that bad, tasteless food, apart from 1 hour waiting for the food. Better go to the streets and hunger

Upscale Japanese food and cocktails, sultry atmosphere. Definitely a unique experience and vibe. Delicious vegetarian options as well, not your usual basics. Get the veggie bites!!

Vegetarian options: Lots of unique vegetarian options, not the usual basic rolls you’d get anywhere else.

BEWARE! This restaurant has pop-up chefs that rotate every 4 to 6 months. We went several times when the menu was Italian and loved it. They have a new chef now but did not change the website, so the menu they show is wrong. It’s now Asian fusion. The real menu had only 2 entrees. A burger and a panko crusted steak - and they were out of the burger! The steak was bland. Evidently they also ran out of beer the night before and brought over a warm beer that had just been delivered, so only warm beer. I would avoid Wink and Nod while the Asian fusion chef is in town (with their burger and chicken fried steak) and try again in 6 months
