About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for outdoor dining
At Wink Wink Food & Drink, we're inspired by the classic food and atmosphere of the 50s and 60s, like the chic supper clubs and breezy Tiki bars, but we serve it all up with a fun, modern twist. Our chef blends local ingredients and flavors to reinvent old favorites, offering dishes that are both a nod to the past and a taste of the contemporary.

In our lounge and pool bar, you'll discover a thoughtful selection of classic cocktails, each with a playful name that perfectly reflects our easygoing vibe. This blend of past and present creates an ideal setting for everyone – families, friends, and anyone in between – to come together and enjoy the moment.

We're dedicated to ensuring the quality and creativity of our cuisine and drinks--we take them seriously so you don't have to.

    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!

    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!
