The store was super cute and quite busy, which I love to see! I love that they have a bar inside the store. What better things to do then drink champagne and do some shopping?! I was surprised to see that their prices, being a small boutique, were very reasonable. I did notice that only one person seemed to be working for this busy day and unfortunately I was unable to try on something that I had wanted because I couldn't reach and the line at the register was too long for me to bother her. I will definitely try to come back in before summer and see what they've got!

They own Don Me Now and Bubbly Barchique located in Channelside in the Fitzgerald building. The concept of the boutique is very cute! You can find a little something for everyone including your fur babies! You can also throw a birthday party, girls night, networking event, and etc in her boutique. You get to enjoy some champagne and apps while shopping! What more can you ask for? Danielle and Graham are very personable and have made every single one of my shopping experiences special! I feel like they make it a point to get to know me and help me with what I'm looking for! Everyone who also know Danielle and Graham have only good things to say about them! They are such genuine people and I'm so glad I literally live across the street from them so I can pop on over any time! If you haven't been to their shop yet, please do yourself a favor and go! Your experience will be nothing short of amazing!

Would we return? Maybe…read more We tried Wink Wink before a symphony at Van Wezel two evenings ago. The menu - though not expansive - offered a fish, a steak, a chicken, a pasta, a burger, wagyu meatloaf, salads and several other options, appetizers, a full bar & wine. The four of us were very pleased with the food, service - and live music (guitar/singer was excellent). Overall experience, 4.8 stars out of 5. For that, we'd definitely return. However - the parking experience was a fiasco. Given this was our first visit, my husband circled the hotel/restaurant twice as the clogged pull-in area was full and there was no valet in sight. Also / no signage to direct us. Finally - my husband opted to pull into a reserved lot behind the hotel/restaurant and temporarily parked as I sought someone to direct us.... I walked past the valet "station" - nobody there (perhaps busy with other guests) and I headed to the restaurant to request assistance with parking. My husband followed shortly as he found the valet and asked if ok to leave the car - the male valet handed us a parking placard and said he'd take care of it, no problem. Ten minutes later a young lady valet approached our table - telling us she dug thru my glovebox to find us - asking if we realized she could have us towed. Beyond rude. We attempted to tell her the other valet had checked us in - but she continued down a shaming diatribe at our table - telling us how folks park back there illegally, etc. When we asked to speak to a manager, the young lady valet informed us that her company was a third party and she was not employed by the restaurant so our dissatisfaction with her rude & threatening behavior was nothing the hotel or restaurant manager could do anything about.... Eventually she walked away /her nasty attitude intact - and the male valet squared things so we could enjoy a lovely dinner. When exiting, no valet in sight again, we waited at the pull-in area where two other couples stood next to cars asking us where they were supposed to park or find the valet. Another couple were standing next to their car asking where the valets went, waiting for their keys to depart. Fiasco. Time for a better valet system! So Wink Wink gets a 5 but the valet is a big negative. We live here year round and there are too many options in Sarasota to deal with a valet threatening to tow us at our dining table.

We arrived at 7:05 pm and were assigned only one server. By 7:40 pm, the server was still taking drink orders, so I requested the front desk to assign another server, and they did. However, what shocked us was that both servers assigned to us were new and had no idea about the menu. One of them couldn't even spell the menu items, and I had to dictate the spelling of each item. She didn't know what a flight was, and I had to explain it to her, even though it was mentioned in their bar menu. The restaurant/bar should provide proper training before hiring people. Our food order-taking was done by 8 pm. We waited for our food to arrive, only to get another surprise: the server forgot to write the table number with the food orders. So, she had to take everyone's order again at 8:05 pm. One of the ladies with us ordered a burrata salad, and it took 40 minutes to arrive because the server accidentally gave it to another party. While the food, drinks, and music were amazing, the service was horrendous. I can only say that I am never returning, nor will any of the ladies from our group.

Everything was beautiful and delicious. If I were to make a suggestion, I'd recommend to add clotted cream. Overall, it was a lovely experience. One thing to note, they close on Saturdays for party bookings.
