Wink Restaurant & Wine Bar

The food was good. Our waiter was great and provided us different wine options to pair with our food. It was a bit noisy, so it was difficult to hear my guest, but overall, it was a good experience.

Ian and Vincent worked in tandem to create a lovely experience for my birthday celebration. Can't wait to come back and check out the wine bar! As someone who can't eat gluten with a pescatarian mom, the lengths they go to to make even the tasting menus inclusive was astounding.

We sat down to a very loud Resturant, not the staff fault but the couple sitting across us must be losing their hearing. Server was nice, we ordered the tasting menu (5course) with a wine pairing. I have to say the best pairings I have seen in Austin. Issues were long wait time between courses, food came out cold, duck was soggy and under cooked. Scallops not cleaned and needed 1 more min in the pan. I know I'm sounding like Ramsey but if I'm getting a $400 check I expect properly cooked food that is hot. Server was very nice but not well trained, kept asking if we wanted more wine ...ah yes it's just getting warm sitting there. Also if it's a pairing you server the paired wine with the food. Instead here is the wine, we're working on your course. I don't want this to sound mean and I hope they get better. We were only a 2 top, can't imagine if we were a 6 or an 8.

1st visit to Wink~enjoyed the food, ambiance. Excellent service by a very friendly staff. Looking forward to HH at their adjacent wine bar next.

I love having the tasting menu whenever I come to Wink. The food is incredible and perfectly prepared, their staff is very friendly and knowledgable, they have excellent wine selections and pairings, and they pay attention to every little detail for your dining experience. I believe Wink is one of Austin's finer dining experiences and everyone who truly loves food and enjoying a fine dining experience needs to visit at least once. I cannot give this restaurant a more glowing review.

We went for the 7 course tasting menu. They let us switch out one of the dishes, which was great. Delicious meal!

We did the 7 Course Tasting with Wine Pairings and were very, very happy. Ian and Jade were simply fantastic and explained so much about each wine and how it complemented each dish. It was fantastic how they tasted before and then with each dish. The scallops and risotto was incredible as were the deserts. All the rest was delicious as well but we now have some favorites. The sauces and accompaniments were varied and once again, incredible. We loved the true Old Austin vibe and warmth of the atmosphere and staff.

Wink is a fabulous fine dining experience with moderate pricing for a restaurant of this caliber.

Great food, excellent service. Took my son & daughter-in-aw for their anniversary and the staff and restaurant really celebrated them. Very nice.

We had dinner at Wink on September 5th and it was so good that we came back on September 12th. The encore was as great as the initial performance!

It's sad to say the food here was less than good. We had fish that was very salty and overcooked, and a duck breast that was served raw. The recook on the duck breast, made it a rubber shoe. We had a nice waiter who made the experience tolerable, but we will not return.

11/10 - rare gem high-quality neighborhood restaurant in Austin!

Wonderful all around. Incredible staff, lovely regulars, welcoming atmosphere with delightful food.

This is the highest compliment I can give: feels like the type of place that would be the setting of a 1990s romantic comedy or novel 🥰

If they ever renovate I will be devastated. Far superior in every way to SO many buzzy restaurants in the area.

Service is amazing. Atmosphere was simple and nice. The food was amazing. Very flexible with their tasting menu, which is nice not everybody at the table has to do the tasting menu and you can swap out items from the main menu to your tasting menu. and dessert was amazing.

Had a fabulous dining experience at Wink. The food was fantastic. Probably the best I've ever experienced in Austin. The service had both the wine bar and the restaurant was warm and terrific. Both servers were extremely knowledgeable and imbued with some funky Austin charm. I will eat here regularly when I return

What a wonderful experience. Joined by 4 others to celebrate a belated birthday with our musician friends.

Food was over the top! Server was perfect, extremely knowledgeable on all dishes and wines.

We will definitely be back!
