    Wonderful little spot with fantastic wines, excellent food and genuine service. Cheeses and crème brûlée were exceptional. I’ll be back, and hope they expand the menu to include a few more classic french bistro menu items. Live jazz was very nice.

    Great spot for wine, but the charcuteries was expensive and not much for the cost. Go back for wine, but know this is a drinks only spot.
    The AuthentiqueResponded on April 18, 2025
    Hey Grace, Thank you for visiting and for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear the charcuterie board didn’t meet your expectations during your visit. We were actually away on our honeymoon that week and had our brother kindly step in to help — we made the choice not to hire someone temporarily so we could enjoy this special time, but we understand that came with some trade-offs. We’re back now, and our full menu — with over 20 additional items — is available once again. We'd love the chance to welcome you back for the full experience and to make it right. Thank you again for the kind words about the wine — and for your understanding during a very personal and joyful week for us. Warmly, Alexandre and Philippine

    An excellent experience, ever single time. The Croque Madame is sandwich perfection & you can't go wrong with any of the crepes. If you don't know what wine to order, don't worry. Let the staff know what you like, and you'll be given an excellent recommendation! Food, wine, and service are all top notch!
