We celebrated multiple birthdays with our family who travels in from abroad. Wink was accommodating to changing schedules, and the staff made my family feel special. The food and wine pairings were incredible, of course. Thank you!

Recently, my wife and I had a “lunner” (late light lunch or early dinner, as you prefer...) at Wink and were swept off our feet by the warm reception and attentive service despite the odd time of day. For us, "Lunnering” also meant sharing a dip of creamer pea hummus with chili oil and zatar, forfeited the wine list and chose the same halibut piccata with braised leeks and sorrel for a main course. Simply delicious. We closed with a flavorful “El Rey” flourless cake and a silent pledge to be back soon to dig deeper into the menu and the wine list. Kudos!

Had the five course tasting menu with wine pairing and was very pleased with every course - the hanger steak was especially delicious.

Very rarely do I have a meal out that wows me. Wink never disappoints and our recent visit was spectacular. Very easy to get a table and well worth the visit.

Excellent meal; service could have been more attentive. Parking was easy--50 feet to the door; very quiet restaurant. Will go back--have been here probably 20 times in last 10 years.

Wink continues to be a treasure-- excellent food, attentive service, and superb wine. The seven-course dinner with wine pairings is a dining extravaganza and worthwhile.
