    Great find! Food was wonderful and service was good (not over the top and not absent—perfect for the small setting).

    Great little Parisian wine bar owned and operated by a husband & wife. If you’re a wine enthusiast, Authentique is for you. Offering a charming ambiance with a carefully selected wine list with a few bottles you’re not going to find anywhere else in Nashville, including one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s favorites. The service was fabulous & welcoming. Great place to enjoy an intimate glass of wine with that special person in your life, or a place to meet and converse with other wine enthusiasts. I will be going back!

    Had the cheese board, steak tartare and prosciutto, basil, goat cheese crepe. Had a red bottle of Bordeaux. All was good. Sat at the bar and service was impeccable. Jazz duo (keyboard and stand-up bass) began playing halfway through our meal, and we loved it. Not super loud, but added to the ambiance. We will definitely be back.

    Hey Kyle! We are glad that you enjoyed the food, wine, service and Jazz! We hope to see you soon to get your valuable fifth star. Thank you for your review!

    This is an amazing AUTHENTIC French wine bar. Amazing live smooth jazz music. Very knowledgeable owner and customer centric server and bartender. The food while simple is exquisite. High value not expensive. Very different from other places, real French and good wine selection. Unexpected in an area like it. Go try it out won’t regret!

    The Authentique is a great place for excellent wines and small plates! I asked several questions regarding a wine selection and the owner’s knowledge and passion for wine is evident! He was extremely helpful and offered a taste before making a selection. Enjoyed the pleasant jazz musicians. Not too loud to have good conversations. Will be back for sure!
