Wink

Ok, so Wink is a very nice, very expensive place. I don't recommend coming here unless you're ok with spending quite a bit of money- prices are high and the portions are quite small. This dinner was a belated celebration of the anniversary of our engagement. I know it doesn't make much sense to celebrate this now that we're married, but whatever. Any excuse for a nice evening out, right?

The highlight of the meal was at the end- the wink trio ($12) which is a sampling of 3 of their desserts: el rey chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and the lemon meringue pot. It was awesome to get to try the three desserts that looked most delicious to us on the menu, in small enough sizes that we weren't overwhelmed. Favorites were the chocolate cake and lemon meringue.
Wink has a nice wine selection, so we chose a white & red wine to have with our meal. The prices are all over the place- you'll be happy to know that there are several in the $5-9 range for a glass. For appetizer, we tried a salad with greens, feta, and sliced pear ($11); entrees were brown butter snapper with vegetables ($28) and beef tartare ($18). All small, but good. You may not leave feeling stuffed but you do get a food high!

One suggestion I can give you is to consider eating dinner in the bar area, which is actually a separate entrance from the restaurant. We didn't realize we had to make reservations (you have to, FYI) and the restaurant was already all booked up even though we were there pretty early for dinner. We're so glad it turned out that way, though- the restaurant didn't seem that romantically lit and the tables seemed a bit close together. The bar area had just a handful of nice white-tableclothed tables against the wall, and nice romantic lighting. I felt it was a more intimate setting than the restaurant, and you can still order from the full menu in there. You could always make a reservation for the restaurant and then take a peek into the bar to see if you'd prefer taking a table there, and make your pick!
