    The best experience, service & phenomenal food & wine! I live in Indiana, but I can’t wait to come back here the next time I’m in Nashville. I’m a fan! And the owners are the most lovely family! I highly recommend to anyone!

    This continues to be our favorite wine bar in Nashville! If you want a quieter experience, visit during the week. If you want a more lively atmosphere, try Friday or Saturday nights when there’s usually live music! Either way Alex and Phillippine are so warm and friendly and welcoming, and the wine and food are *chef’s kiss*!!!

    Such a dreamy setting, like walking into the set of Midnight in Paris. The wine flight was fantastic and the cheeses divine.

    We really enjoy this hidden gem! I like the opportunity to try wines that aren’t usually found in most restaurants or stores. The Authentique had become one of our favorites in all of Nashville.

    Disappointing. Out of the steak tartare early and the croque madam was just ok. Crepes were served cold and disappointing.
    The AuthentiqueResponded on 13 February 2025
    Hi Garry, First, I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We genuinely care about every guest’s experience - that’s why we checked on you multiple times during your meal to ensure everything was to your satisfaction. If there had been any issues, we would have loved the opportunity to address them right away and make things right on the spot. Regarding the dishes you ordered, our smoked salmon crêpe is always served cold, as is traditional, and our tartare is prepared in small batches daily to guarantee the freshest quality possible. We are always striving to improve, and your experience matters to us. We’d love the chance to welcome you back, chat in person, and provide you with the best possible experience. Warmly,
