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.
