Grabbed lunch here and was underwhelmed. The cushion on the chair at the bar where my husband sat was soaking wet from a/c condensation dripping on it and when we told the bartender she shrugged it off as a known issue. Not a great start to our meal since my husband’s pants were soaking wet from it and seems like a preventable issue. Aside from that, bartenders weren’t too welcoming or personable. Food was mediocre and lacking flavor and texture. Bao buns were alright but had a pretty muted flavor and the dough could have been fluffier. Wagyu bowl was very mushy, definitely needed something crunchy to give it texture. Overall, it was lacking and service could have been better.

This is a hotel restaurant/bar, lounge. That is important because it has a different vibe than a local venue. Based on the description and pictures I thought would be sexy and cool, it was actually kitschy and camp. The decor is nice with an homage wall to old Florida tourism from the 1960s. The rest is an eclectic ensemble of cool from the 1960s and 70s. The service was decent but not cool and sexy. The staff seemed like hotel employees from a Holiday Inn rather than a modern lounge. The food however, was phenomenal. It was fusion done right, not just for the sake of blending cuisines. The portions were of a decent size and it was all flavorful and filling.

Wink wink has such an eclectic fun vibe with tasty/different food items to match. We really enjoyed all of the food we tried -like the green papaya salad, shishito peppers, fried fish, poke bowl, chicken boa buns & kale salad. The service was friendly but not super attentive & we waited quite awhile for our entrees. The place wasn’t very busy at all. So just be aware that you may wait some time. Overall, it was a good experience & we enjoyed the environment, friendly service & food.
