In Short
The walls, a sophisticated beige early evening, enveloping the 16 tables in a honeyed glow at night, the richness imparted by marble dust embedded in the Venetian plaster. Frames holding screens of pale Japanese rice paper hang in the window, diffusing the light and ensuring privacy. The menu changes daily, made from the freshest vegetables, meats, fish, poultry and fruits available and infused with flavors from around the world.

My partner and I visited Wink for our Valentines Day dinner. Though it was smaller than we expected, the atmosphere was still intimate and energetic at the same time. We were greeted by name when we arrived and immediately shown to our table. Our server was informative about both the menu and the wine list. The wine she suggested not only played to our personal tastes but complimented our food as well. The food itself was amazing! Both of us tried to eat slower than usual because our meal was so good we didn't want it to end. I highly recommend the duck breast, it was spectacular! - as was the chocolate soup! This restaurant is perfect for someone in the mood for a relaxed but elegant meal. The wait staff was warm and helpful, the food was amazing in both presentation and flavor. One word of warning, if you plan to have wine with your dinner, be prepared to pay more than you would for an average dinner. Though it was a bit more expensive than what I'm used to, it was worth it. I loved this restaurant and I'm already planning to visit it again in the near future.

Moved here from Chicago last August- I had been underwhelmed and disappointed by the new American cuisine here in Austin- until Wink. The menu was a long list of seasonal small and large plates. We asked our server to bring out what she considered to be standout items until we were full. She did a great job of choosing dishes, pairing sets of dishes with wine and pacing our dinner over several hours. The most memorable plates included a homemade pasta with shaved truffle, antelope, braised pork belly and crispy snapper. The sauces and seasonings were not overdone and really helped highlight the primary ingredients. Thank you Wink for a wonderful meal!
