Welcome
Respect for the freshest ingredients is the cornerstone of Wink’s
culinary philosophy. With seafood flown in daily from both coasts, and local
farmers providing seasonal produce, herbs, and cheese,Wink’s chefs focus
on complimenting and enhancing flavors, not over-manipulating or
disguising the integrity of the product. Clean lines of the dining room and
urban sophistication of the cuisine coupled with a “food friendly” wine list
and well-versed staff make dining at Wink a unique delight.
