Great for outdoor dining

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.

Entrees were very good, but the desert portion, a carrot cake was tiny and not of any value.

Limited menu & food was just ok. Tuna poke bowl was very bland and the meatloaf was ok with very little potatoes. Cocktails were great though.

Entire table was happy with our meals (scallops, crab cakes, Brussels Sprouts, cauliflower), drinks (Cosmos, Lavender Haze, Pellegrino) and service. Interesting mix of menu options, patrons, and wall art. The noise level distracted from our overall experience. Choose outside seating if available.

We did a prix fixe for Valentine’s dinner. It was about 45 minutes before the drinks arrived. The food was borderline. The atmosphere was the best part. I think this is probably a cool hotel lounge in its own right that overreached for what it could accomplish. Probably wouldn’t go back.
