    I've been to Wink before during dinner service but today was the 1st time I've been for lunch!: lunch service is in the smaller side where the wine bar is. It's fantastic! The wine, the intimacy, the Wine selection! Kiss kiss kiss! Any place that has Sancerre by the glass has my heart. They have a nice lunch menu and also serve the bar menu: I opted for the hanger steak and also had the pastrami: This place is the original farm to table in Austin in my option and make everything in-house and locally sourced. Fernando our amazing amazing amazing waiter, elevated our experience with his knowledge of the restaurant, and food culture in general! We were grateful the meet the owner who was a delightful treat reminiscing about the history of Austin, his restaurant and food culture: love this place!!! Love it!!!

    The ambience was great as soon as we walked it and were seated promptly with our reservation time. The food was delicious and the waiter was great with explaining each wine pairing with our courses.

    I had a great experience here. Everyone here was so nice and welcoming. I loved all the cool and interesting decor of the restaurant. The menu items are quite interesting themselves too. My favorite was the Chicken Liver Pate. We also got the Duck Confit Poutine, Cobia Sashimi, Beef Tartare, and Steak Frites.

    It really pains me to give low reviews for seemingly fancy restaurants but the food was not good. The bread was really hard. Entree portions are small and not worth the price. Scallops were too salty and the duck breast was ok-just covered by the hoisin sauce. The dessert quatro we got was average. Crème brûlée can be sweeter. The cheesecake tasted strongly of goat cheese? I didn't like it. Their service, on the other hand, is top-notch! The greeter held my chair out for me and the server checked on us multiple times, explaining things as needed. We also got complimentary champagne and the chefs gave us signed menus. The eyes in the front wink at you!

    Food - 2.5 stars. Underseasoned. Pork was borderline done Service - 2.5 stars. Very slow Ambiance - 2.5 stars. Not comfortable After 3 visits, they just aren't for me. Have tried multiple dishes and none of us would order any of them again. Plated beautifully but no flavor. Sad.

    Had reservations for dinner but stopped in at the bar beforehand. We decided to stay in the wine bar for dinner. The bartender was extremely helpful. I believe he was a sommelier. He was very knowledgeable about wines and helped to find the perfect wine for our tastes to accompany the meal. Half price bar food at happy hour. Had the burger the first time here. Went back again but this time I was not very hungry. My friend ordered the hummus and Truffle Mac and Cheese. The Mac was very rich and filling so she opted to take the rest home. The hummus was interesting served with pickled veggies and toasted croutons. The wine was wonderful. I chose the Syrah at $13 glass. After sampling a few cabs, she decided the syrah was the best choice. Great service and atmosphere

    My new favorite restaurant in Austin! Having never been here before I wandered into the "bar" section of the restaurant not realizing there was a separate dining room section, but since I was by myself I happily sat at the bar. I started with a glass of Gewurtztraminer (which I was pleasantly surprised they had) & asked for the 5 course tasting menu. All of the waitstaff behind the bar was extremely friendly and all periodically asked me what I thought. I ended up asking someone what the sweetbreads were on the menu cause I'd never had them before & he explained all about them & asked if I wanted to try them. I said yes, fully assuming I'd pay for the extra addition to the tasting menu, but I found out later it was the owner Mark I was talking to & it was gift! They were divine. Honestly everything on the tasting menu was impeccable & then my favorite dessert of the trio was the chocolate cake. About halfway through a couple came in & sat next to me & we ended up having some wonderful conversations as they turned out to be regulars of the place. Then the drama happened (but this only elevated the experience imo) because PETA protestors showed up in the parking lot around 8:30/9. You couldn't hear them much inside the restaurant, but they've been leaving negative reviews of this place simply for the Foie Gras. Idk maybe we would rather protect locally owned Austin restaurants that have been around for ages?? (Or if you really want to protest... why not do it at the legislature level instead of trying to hurt small businesses??) But since I was there by myself the owner Mark walked me back to my car which was incredibly thoughtful. I'll be coming back to this place for sure, I love the community vibes & how incredible the service is. PETA just makes for a good story.

    A very delightful dining experience! This restaurant is known for their farm to table tasting menus with wine pairings. They have a 5 and 7 course plus many wonderful al a carte options. We opted for the 5 course since we had tickets for an event after. The meal was absolutely delicious! The chef is very creative, the dishes were very forward. I particularly loved the skirt steak with the pomegranate steak sauce. I would love to give this place 5 stars as the food and service were outstanding. However, I feel the desserts were pretty basic. We had the trio of crème brûlée, flourless choc cake and lemon meringue. Although good, I was surprised this was the end of the meal given the dishes before. I have a sweet tooth and love a strong, creative dessert. I will definitely be back, so many things I did not have a chance to taste.

    Gluten free options?

    Eater mentioned that there is a bar next door to Wink (not related to the restaurant.) We like to have a martini before dinner. Does anyone know the name of that bar? Wink is beer and wine only, correct?

    The bar across the way is apart of wink restaurant. It's an extension of the establishment. Wink as a whole serves only wine and beer. You can order from the wine bar menu or the restaurant menu while in the bar. Happy hour is everyday Mon-Sat…

    I was initially drawn to Tuesday night Paella and found this cute little bistro tucked away under…read moresome trees off a main road. Parking was a little hard to come by in the neighborhood, but not impossible. I ended up waiting a little over 1.5 hrs after checking in with the hostess and we were able to snag the very last plate of paella! I've had my fair share of paella and I'm in no way a paella snob, but this one missed the mark for me. 1) the portion did not reflect the $34 price tag. 2) portions of the rice were undercooked and very hard. 3) it was way too salty. It did come with a mix of mussels, clams, shrimp, and sausage, with a side of toast, but I can't justify this part of the experience. We also ordered calamari and croquetas. The croqueta was delicious and flavorful, but the calamari didn't stand out. It tastes like any other calamari. The ambiance itself is cute and the service was great, but the food was lacking.

    Wow! What an incredible experience at Sixty Vines in The Domain!…read more We made our reservation through OpenTable and mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. When we arrived at our table, we were surprised with a handwritten Happy Anniversary postcard and a beautifully presented gift--such a thoughtful touch that immediately made the evening feel special. Our server, Polina, was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to learn what styles of wine we enjoy and brought us a few samples before helping us choose an amazing wine flight. Her recommendations were spot-on! We also enjoyed a custom charcuterie board and the prosciutto & fig pizza, both of which were outstanding. To top it all off, Andrew, the manager, stopped by our table to make sure everything was perfect. We loved learning about Sixty Vines' unique wine-on-tap program and appreciated their commitment to sustainability, including composting food scraps. (They didn't have much to compost from our table--maybe a bite or two of pizza crust! ) The only disappointing part of the evening was that we had tickets to a show and couldn't stay longer to explore more of their incredible wine selection. That's just another reason we'll definitely be back!

    Very Disappointing Experience…read more I was really looking forward to The Golden Girls pop-up at Wanderlust Wine Company. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing like what I had seen from the pop-ups in other cities. The biggest disappointment was how little there actually was to the experience. The kitchen table wasn't even there. The girls famously gathered around that table eating cheesecake. There were no cheesecake props, which seemed like an obvious and essential part of The Golden Girls experience. Blanche's bedroom was completely outside in a completely different building, which made the whole setup feel disconnected. Even the wall phone, which was supposed to have the girls talking did not provide the experience I had seen from Instagram reels from other cities. Then came the cocktails. At $16 each, I expected them to at least be made correctly. My Blanche Devereaux cocktail was made with club soda instead of Sprite. Club soda tastes like Alka-Seltzer. I had to ask for a different drink. The second cocktail, The Dorothy, was made with Prosecco and unfortunately wasn't good either. Even the one lady sitting at this isolated bar with me said her drink was bad too. They double charged me. Which is another major issue. My ticket was $23.34 including taxes and fees and the complimentary drink was supposed to be included, with only a one-cent charge when I arrived. Instead, I was charged an additional $23.08, including $11.54 for the drink that was supposed to be included in the ticket price. Is there an explanation? Will this be corrected? My credit card company has already been notified. But what a hassle I have to go through. Just scan my QR code, and don't charge me .01 cent. I paid my ticket and "free" drink. Also as a solo guest, I was also extremely uncomfortable with where I was seated. I was placed away from everyone else at a very narrow bar along the wall, completely isolated from the rest of the group. Honestly, it felt like being sent to the kids' table at Thanksgiving--off in another room away from the adults. It was humiliating and made an already disappointing experience even worse. The entire experience amounted to roughly 15 minutes of taking a few pictures, drinking a poorly made cocktail, and leaving. For what I paid and what was advertised, I expected something much more immersive and fun. I couldn't wait to leave. Thank God I didn't pay for parking. I'm extremely disappointed. I went in excited to celebrate one of my favorite shows and left feeling like I had wasted my time and money. Based on this experience, I would not return to Wanderlust Wine Company.

    Some friends took us here for a birthday celebration, taking a chance because they'd never been…read morethere either. What a find! Rosé Gosé (note accents) is in an unassuming Airport Blvd location (right next to Jewboy Burgers, an Austin favorite). It is run by a couple from Belarus that came here right after Covid to open up a restaurant, with a sister in Minsk. Defying expectations, the menu is not Balkan at all. If anything, there is a strong Asian influence with poke bowls and a lot of seafood. But the menu also offers beef tartare on their raw bar menu, as well as a steak offering and grilled chicken. It's a diverse and adventurous menu, all the way from small plates to hefty mains and vegetable sides. For the dessert, try the pavlova, a meringue confection stuffed with coconut mousse and topped with lime sorbet and a grapefruit slice sidecar. Everything is superbly presented, and unquestionably fresh and healthy without veering into twigs and berries territory. The cocktail menu is also playful, with a lot of nontraditional glassware and slight spins on popular drinks; their version of a Paloma uses prosecco instead of a splash of soda. The servers are all dressed in rosé jumpsuits and very attentive. The space is amiable and elegant without being pretentious. The table spacing is a little close, so that conversations carry between guests. The table setting has some nice touches, like the little wooden bench that holds your fork and knife off the table. In European fashion, water can be asked for but it won't be served with ice. Plan on taking your time and enjoying course after course.

    My hubs chose Rosé Gosé for my Mother's Day brunch location. In full transparency, choosing a…read morerestaurant is not his jam. However, today major shout out to the hubs. Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.
