Overhyped OverPriced Oily Burnt Food
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

03/06/2008 Posted by Nadine1

We wanted to love Wink. We really did. We'd looked forward to going there for months and had scheduled a sitter for our daughter so we could go. Almost from the beginning it was a disappointment. The server was rude, the salad order was wrong...twice. Then it was overly oily. The soup seemed almost like pure cream and made my husband and I feel ill. Our meat was good, but under-done, but we were afraid to complain at this point because our server was so harsh. Our crème brûlées were burnt beyond recognition, we didn't even finish them. And yes, we know what they are supposed to look like. After that we just wanted to get out of there so we paid the overpriced bill and something scurry past our feet as we opened the door to leave the building. We won't be back. To the Wink employees or owners who are obviously coming to this site to post rebuttals to unhappy costumers: If you'd spend as much time and energy in your restaurant making sure your costumers are happy as you do 'fixing' comments on this site and loading in false '5 Star' ratings you'd have a much better restaurant. Just a thought.
