"Wink is an old-school fine dining establishment with white tablecloths and a classy but dated interior. The tasting menu feels less like a curated experience and more like a random selection of five items plucked off the daily rotating menu. It usually starts with a crudo or sashimi, then moves through a few more small plates before culminating in a trio of desserts. And any of the courses can be swapped out for comparable items from the menu. Everything feels old-school fancy—you’ll likely see foie gras, sweetbreads, and duck confit—but with a few twists to keep things fun. Most of the plates are tasty, but they don’t match up to Wink’s high price point. Portions are also light—if you’re hungry, you’ll want to opt for the seven-course meal or hit P. Terry’s after. Price: $120 for 5 courses, $150 for 7 Wine Pairing: $60 for 5 courses, $80 for 7" - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
