    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.

    Wink offered a very special and memorable experience for my girlfriend’s birthday. Everything was amazing from the service to the food to the birthday menu which was such a nice extra touch.

    I've been coming to Wink for years. It is my favorite restaurant in Austin. They have delivered consistently excellent food, wine & service to my dining parties for decades! I just visited again to introduce my daughter to a truly fine dining experience for the first time & it might have been the best food, wine & service experience I've had there yet. I can't recommend them enough!

    Wink is a great restaurant. The food is perfectly prepared and imaginative without being excessively involved. Service is the same- friendly,warm, and thoughtful without being intrusive. They are particularly good on wine- ready to recommend but you'll never feel that you're unsophisticated. The noise level is reasonable. There's a generous, welcoming spirit to the place.

    Wink is over the top fantastic! My my mom feel like royalty for her birthday and special treat for all. Vincent went above and beyond to make it a fabulous experience and every bite was divine! Best place to have a quite special occasion meal.

    I have never had a bad meal at Wink, and I'm sure I never will! Every course was impeccable - fresh, tasty, and interesting. The service is always wonderful and the wine list is stellar! No better place in Austin to go for a quick bit or to celebrate a special event.

    We (4 diners) all selected the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. The food was delicious. The wine pairing were perfect with each course. Three of us substituted one or more of the courses with other selections on their menu, no problem. Our waiter, Cody, is very knowledgeable about wine, and provided excellent service. We’ve been coming here for years, and have always been happy with their service & food.
