“The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!“

“I was in the Nashville location on 1/28 during my visit to the area. It was packed but everything moved quickly, efficiently and the staff was so very friendly to everyone. That didn’t stop just at the start but all throughout our time there. The lady helping us (her name was Isis, I believe) even followed back up with us on something. Her and the manager went above and beyond to take care of us on something we didn’t even ask them to. Btw, nothing happened, they were just out of something, it came back in and they took care of us. A measure most would not do but she found us and made sure to take care. Now THAT is friendly customer service! The food is so amazing, y’all. This is going to be my new joint for every single visit to Nashville from now on. Hot dayum!!“

“The best dining experience I’ve ever had. The chef’s choice was an awesome choice! Everything that came out was delicious. Our servers were wonderful especially our waitress who had us sign her Nancy Drew book. That added to the experience! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Really, really good food and beer! Awesome clean spot!!“

“Live music with great food, drinks, & service!“

“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.“

“amazing food and staff! The brunch is top tier“

“Once every week or two, I take a sacred day off, work out for approximately 4 hours, burn approximately 47,000 calories, and then come here.

Why, you ask?

The food is good. The blackened salmon, chicken, steak, asada, all delicious. Honestly, that’s maybe 25% of the reason I come here.

The other 75%?

THE QUESO.

I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. THAT. QUESO.

I take that little bowl home with me like it’s a super hot date. I cherish it. I respect it. I lick that tiny bowl clean with absolutely zero shame. That queso has seen things.

BUT TODAY,
Today, the woman responsible for QUESO betrayed me.

She filled my bowl to approximately 17% capacity. Maybe 1/5. I’m being generous. This was not queso. This was a queso sample.

I have never seen this woman before. She is new. I don’t know her. She doesn’t know me. Clearly, she does not understand the history between me and this queso.

I only discovered the crime after I got home.

And honestly? This hurt worse than when I lost my friend in middle school during the war in Syria. I am devastated. Broken. Emotionally unavailable.

Am I going to drive back?
No.

Am I going to call?
Absolutely not.

I will simply sit here, staring into this pathetic, empty queso bowl, wondering where it all went wrong.

Three stars because the food is good.
Zero stars for the emotional terrorism.

(Sad queso empty bowl pic is included as evidence)

Update: i didn’t email the restaurant, i love this place too much to not give it 5 stars.
Frankly, if they give me less cheese every visit i go, i ll still go back. I love you Baja burrito ❤“

“In my honest opinion, the food was good but the service and hospitality here was astounding! All the workers were so friendly and created such a welcoming atmosphere. We told them it was our first time in and they gave us a complimentary milkshake! Great experience for anyone visiting out of town and wanting the homey feel!“

“We had their breakfast & IT WAS AMAZING. The pancakes were hands down the best I have ever had. The staff were so nice as well. We will be back!“

“We ate at King Tut’s for the first time yesterday. It was absolutely delicious. We don’t live in Nashville but will definately eat there again when we are in town!“

“Had the ribs and collards yesterday evening , both were outstanding. Highly enjoyed“

“I can not emphasize enough that this is THE BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM ever to have come into existence. Words fail me here, so rich, the best mouth feel and a wonderful variety of flavors. I came from Michigan to Nashville with my partner and this was the highlight of the trip for me!🤤🤤🤤🤤😁“

“I have a severe alpha gal allergy and can’t have any mammal products and worry a lot about surprise ingredients and cross contamination. Previous to getting sick I ate there often and loved the hospitality, polite staff and amazing pizza. Today I went and expressed my desire to still have there pizza and ask for accommodation. They assured me they would wash everything and prevent cross contamination. They treated me with kindness and respect and made me feel very assured. I was excited to see they offered anchovies and that is a protein I can eat and really enjoyed it. These guys are great. Long story short 10/10. Please eat here“

“Love the vibe of Dino’s. The best late night dive bar for sure. Get the Snap-O-Razzo hot dog - it’s a hidden secret how good it is!! ;) Grab a burger, couple beers, a couple hot dogs, and head up to the top outdoor seating patio area to chill. We come by whenever we’re in the area or drive over late night when nothing by us is open. Or end our night here. Highly recommend Dino’s- it’s simply an institution!!“

“Ho. Ly. Sh*t. What an amazing experience! The food was delicious, the vibe was immaculate, and the staff was TOP NOTCH!!! Shoutout Adrian for being the most attentive server we’ve seen in Nashville in a while! The night was made because of you and your team!!! Will certainly be back, again and again and again!“

“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.“

“That blueberry Cream what can t say - Delicious and Great“

“If you haven’t had their version of a Crunchwrap you are missing out. And the sandwiches? Fuhgeddaboudit 👌🏻“

“Velvet Taco has great tasting flavor combinations, But… the tortillas are cold grocery store type. I ended up just eating the inside of my tacos with chips because the tortillas reminded me of playdoh… change the tortillas to a more authentic (cooked) tortilla and it’ll be sooo much better!!“

“Such good food at good prices. Staff was amazing, so friendly and quick. If you’re in Nashville looking for a good dinner that won’t make you completely broke, come here!“

“Super impressed with JamBox Sandwich shop! We placed a call in pickup order, and it was ready when we arrived. The ratio of meat to bread was excellent, and the meats were top notch. Overall, much better than Subway or Jimmy John’s.“

“The people are friendly and the food was really good. I'll definitely be coming back here.“

“Great burgers and the mayo with caramelized onions was amazing!! Highly recommend it if you come to Nashville!“

“The burger is the most amazing burger I have every had!“

“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!“

“This is the one place I can safely eat with allergies and feel like Nashville is still the home I’ve loved for forty six years. They keep it real from menu to vibe. I moved to Gallatin but will make the trip for Vegelicious. The best soul food, vegan or otherwise!“

“Everything was delicious! And my husband (who’s not vegan) even liked his food. It came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be back“

“We had a fantastic brunch at Liberty Common! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated brunch experience. Highly recommend Liberty Common for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!“

“Delicious food! That Greek quesadilla was amazing!“

“Omg the food was truly amazing I had the Randy Travis burger and it was amazing…. Love the 80s/90s vibe brought back so many memories growing up… highly recommend if your in the area“

“Super cute local distillery, we did our tasting with Mitch and he was awesome. My husband loved all five whiskeys that he tried. I liked that they sold food too. They also foster kittens which made me want to support them even more. I highly recommend.“

“Delicious and worth every penny!!“

“Good place for a date night and good vibes“

“1/2 Rack, Mac and cheese, pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, cornbread- ALL UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!! Oh and the bread pudding!!!“

“It was EPIC. Highly recommend!! Very authentic and the vibe is bougie and aesthetically pleasing. Staff is wonderful! 5 stars Will be back“

“Terrance did a fantastic job serving us breakfast this morning. Great food, great atmosphere, all around great experience. Highly recommend!“

“The food was spectacular for this wine paired dinner. And…”the man” was in the house!“

“This place was located in a very nice area near several other stores and places to explore. The line was around 20 minutes when we visited, but it was a good place to try a traditional Southern-style breakfast.

If you love biscuits and Southern food, I would recommend stopping by! One person in my group is a huge fan of Southern breakfasts and absolutely loved the biscuits and gravy.“

“Had a disappointing first time poke bowl experience at a different place and Pokeworks totally made up for it! The ahi tuna was great and actually fresh; all of the ingredients were good quality. Meals are reasonably priced and affordable. The protein portions are somewhat small, but with the rice you won’t be leaving hungry. Will definitely be back!“

“We had dinner here tonight. Good ambiance and excellent service. We enjoyed the fettuccini, pesto and rigatoni. ♥️“

“Had to write a review, visiting Nashville stopped in for Ice Cream was served by a lovely lady Taylor, very helpful and super friendly. Largest scoop in history, great ice cream. Thanks Taylor, you’re the best.“

“Food was great, staff was very friendly.“

“I've never been here, but hope to soon, all bc I absolutely love watching Ricky Connelley play his music sets live on tiktok here! He's amazing and I can't wait to get to be in the crowd one day and enjoy some delicious food and drinks while listening to him! 🎶💕“

“Amazing place, and amazing hosts.“

“Really, really good food and beer! Awesome clean spot!!“

“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.“
