A PA person having a cheesesteak in FL). I judge the bread first. Took one bite and my husband said, this bread HAS to be from DE or Philly. Sure enough, the bread dough is flown in from Philly! The meat was plentiful and delicious. If you want a REAL cheesesteak come here!!! We also tried the meatball appetizer. I asked the owner (Anthony) about them because they were just like my friend's Italian mom's meatballs. Tender and obviously not fried. The real kind. The last item we tried was the bolognese. Amazing. Good meat, not cheap junk like so many fake Italian places serve. The gravy has an ever so slight touch of spice to it...(?red pepper flakes, Anthony?) just like NJ Italian. So. Yes, you can get legit Italian food and a really good cheesesteak here! We did not try the pizza, but it looked like good thin crust pizza. Next time. Thank you Anthony for an excellent meal and Claudia for taking care of us. Go Birds!

Just a great experience every time I go. The staff, servers & owner makes this place feel like…read morehome away from home. Salads are fantastic. Wish I could speak about the entire menu but I always get the same thing....beef cheesesteak! The chicken cheesesteak is also excellent in the bites I've stolen. The beef cheesesteak is the best I've had outside of Philadelphia. The bread is from Philly. (Pro tip: if the bread is not from Philly don't bother ordering the Philly cheesesteak). The owner is from Philly & brought his passion for his favorite Philly cheesesteaks that he grew up eating with him to Sarasota. I travel to Sarasota frequently to visit family & always make plans to go here. My family has raved about other dishes but for me the order is simple....beef Philly cheesesteak with "side" Caesar salad (which is large and absolutely fantastic as well). Until the next time....

We had the halibut special with crab, the rainbow trout, and the ribeye. The halibut was…read morespectacular. Melted in your mouth. The trout was very good; the dill sauce was a great accent. Both came with a kale and quinoa salad which was refreshing with a hint of heat. A+. Unfortunately the ribeye initially was overdone. My partner ordered medium rare, and although the steak was flavorful, there was no pink in sight and it was slightly tough. After a few minutes, when our server checked in, we let him know, a manager came over soon after, and he said he would have it redone. It took longer than expected, and the other two of us were done eating before it arrived. In fact, I was panicked that the steak would again be overdone as some time had passed, and I said that to the server. But the steak was perfectly done when it arrived. To make up for the lateness, the manager offered us a dessert. We had the key lime and it was amazing. Surprisingly but appreciatively we were comped the steak. They made it right and that is important. Service was good. I did run out of water a few times. My only real complaint there was the server should have asked us to cut into the steak right away. I wish all restaurants did this. This is our second time here. We were here last year and had a great meal then as well. We will be back.

Apparently this place has been here for about a year or so. So, decided to try it! First thing i…read morenoticed was the bar and the upscale decor. There were at least three hostesses/waiters/tresses greeting us at the door. It's more of an adult environment. Very nice! We ordered an app, the cornbread, their claim to fame. And it certainly was fantastic!!! I had the cowboy salad. It was all chopped up just how I like my salads. Perfect amount of ingredients, they didn't skimp! The only issue, and I could have asked for more, was they should bring a small side of dressing when they bring the salads out. Regardless the salad was yummy! The prices were steep but not any more than you would expect to pay in an upscale restaurant, $23. And, what I appreciated was they DO NOT INCLUDE AN AUTO GRATUITY! YAY!!! Overall the experience was outstanding; environment was beautiful, service was good, food was delicious. We will be back, many times I'm sure!

Why did this place absolutely blow us away??…read more We came because we were hungry but didn't want to go to a chain but we didn't want a whole meal so we figured we'd just get a snack here. We walked in and there were some older people eating, some families, the whole place is so unassuming and home-like, in a way that wasn't very inspiring or promising. We got the Mediterranean salad and a side of fries. Sort of a whatever order. How good could it be? Absolutely incredible. I bit into the chicken breast expecting dry, unseasoned rubber. Wrong. Beautiful, warm, fresh, tender, juicy, delicious chicken. The rest of the salad was also so, so great. And the dressing! Pink! Homemade! I need a gallon! The fries were also delightful, they were those good ones that are extra crispy. Go here now! Come here often! Try everything! I can't wait to be back!

We ordered two classic margaritas, and they tasted nothing like margaritas. We politely mentioned…read moreit because we genuinely thought something was off. Instead of explaining why they tasted different, two bartenders argued with us and told us we were wrong. They even remade one. The second one tasted exactly the same. Only then were we told that they don't actually use tequila--they use an infused wine product instead. Looking at the menu, it's easy to see why we were confused. The drinks are listed with ingredients like tequila, vodka, whiskey, rum, and gin. The only indication otherwise is a tiny line at the bottom that says they serve "Premium Blend Spirits." That doesn't clearly communicate that these cocktails aren't made with actual liquor. What really ruined the experience was the attitude. Rather than simply explaining the difference, the two bartenders argued with us, told us we were wrong, and we could clearly hear them making negative comments about us afterward. We ended up canceling our food order and leaving. Our server was kind, and we still left them a tip because this wasn't their fault. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled means we won't be back.

She was bright, effervescent, eager to please, extremely knowledgeable about every drink and food item on the menu, always present when needed but never hovering. She has perfected her craft and it made for a wonderful experience. The menu is written with flair and verve, and every offering seems irresistible. We wanted to try everything, but of course couldn't, so we made do with a couple of their signature cocktails (wonderful), a flatbread appetizer (also wonderful) and the very delicious meat loaf and the gemelli pasta entrees. I 10 out of 10 in every respect. We were quite concerned that we were the only patrons in the restaurant during our entire meal. It was early on a Tuesday evening in low season, but still. I hope more folks discover Wink Wink as it would be a shame to lose such a treasure. I would think they might want to consider offering a happy hour to boost things a bit. On the other hand, they could be doing very well and we just hit an off night. Go. Try it. The whole experience will be very entertaining with the art and whimsy of the decor and the menu. Great vibes. and the service and food were wonderful.
