    The restaurant is in a old house on Long Boat Key. There is a big parking lot in the rear. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks. Enjoyed an elegant dinner with my wife. We had excellent drinks, martinis and old fashion. The fried green tomatoes were very good with a slight spicy taste. We enjoyed out Waldorf salad before dinner. I had the house speciality, the duck. It was really good, probably one of the best I've had before and I love duck. My wife greatly enjoyed her veal. We were so full we skipped the desert experience on the second floor. We have heard it is like the experience at Burns in Tampa but will need to experience on our next visit.

    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!
