    Disappointing. Out of the steak tartare early and the croque madam was just ok. Crepes were served cold and disappointing.

    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,

    The Authentique never fails to deliver. I love this place. It is a fantastic lil wine bar & eatery in East Nash with some of the best wine you’ll find outside of LA or NYC. Intimate ambiance and Alexandre and Philippine make you feel so welcome. Whether you’re looking for a place to enjoy a nice glass of wine with friends or a new date spot with someone special, look no further than The Authentique! A must try …

    What an amazing experience! This was our first time at the Authentique and we will definitely be back! The food was delicious, genuine French cuisine. They had the best crepes I’ve had in years! The wine selection was great and the service was friendly. I highly recommend this place, they even had live jazz music! A tout a l’heure, Authentique!

    Everything about The Authentique is A+ ! The service was so friendly and everything we ate was subtle but delicious! It's such an intimate place that it's perfect for date night, My husband lived in France and he thought the wine selection was excellent as well. We will certainly go again and again......

    What a delightful place and experience! If I lived nearby I’d be a regular. Tiny spot, very snug, but a fabulous wine list and yummy bites. Friendly staff, appropriate low-volume live music, so nice!
    The AuthentiqueResponded on December 14, 2024
    Hey Adrien! We are so happy that you enjoyed the wine, bites, and music! We hope to host you again soon the next time you're in East. Thank you for the wonderful review.
