At Wink Wink Food & Drink, we're inspired by the classic food and atmosphere of the 50s and 60s, like the chic supper clubs and breezy Tiki bars, but we serve it all up with a fun, modern twist. Our chef blends local ingredients and flavors to reinvent old favorites, offering dishes that are both a nod to the past and a taste of the contemporary.

In our lounge and pool bar, you'll discover a thoughtful selection of classic cocktails, each with a playful name that perfectly reflects our easygoing vibe. This blend of past and present creates an ideal setting for everyone – families, friends, and anyone in between – to come together and enjoy the moment.

We're dedicated to ensuring the quality and creativity of our cuisine and drinks--we take them seriously so you don't have to.

    I don't normally recommend restaurants in hotels but this is an exception. Wink Wink was a delightful surprise. Our waiter and the food were great. It did get a little noisy when the bar was full but we could still have a conversation at our table. The Brussel Sprouts, the salmon, and the grouper was all delicious. I would go back again; actually I hope to soon!

    Amazing creative food, maybe the most creative in Sarasota. Was dead the night we went. I hope more people discover this hidden gem, which is hidden inside a hotel but definitely not a typical hotel restaurant.

    Took my wife for her birthday. I had forgotten that this restaurant is partnof a hotel. I was extremely impressed with service, quality and over all ambiance. Service in particular was above and beyond…. We highly recommend!

    Wink Wink is a hidden gem. A range of food options from burgers and steaks to vegetarian specialties. We were impressed with the choices and really enjoyed the very attentive and helpful servers.

    It's a bit on the pricy side, but if you don't care about laying down some paychecks, this place is perfect!!

    This was the first time dining at Wink Wink Food and Drink. What a great little place. The food was really good and the service as well. Dined with a couple of friends and had a great time. I would recommend Wink Wink Food and Drink. You won't be disappointed!
