Sad this was our last meal here. Robert is an incredibly talented chef. Avery and Katy are lovely. The food and service were always spot on. We were lucky to have found such a special place. So sorry to know the doors are closing and we can’t come back.

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!

We loved Noko! Everything was delicious & well priced. We got 6 things and shared between 3 of us, our total bill was around $100 which we felt was extremely reasonable, especially for the quality! Our favorites were the tuna crispy rice, brussel sprouts & lobster bao!

Every single dish we had fits the profile of richly flavorful & decadently mastered. We split the K-pop chicken, truffle mac ‘n cheese, kimchi bacon risotto, and pork ribs. We had martinis - the sour redemption (a whiskey base that’s not too sweet or too sour) and a lychee martini (gin base) that was also not too sweet, thankfully. Everything was 5 star + level. Expertly crafted and presented, tenderly cooked to perfection! The mac ‘n cheese was by far the best I have had in my life with the truffle flavor, the tender broccoli, and the basil topping with a bit of charred/grilled cheesy crust. To our delight, we had not only a wonderful server, but were able to meet a co-owner who checked in on us during our time. What a beautiful experience, the ambience is dark moody lighting giving a calm peaceful vibe with beautiful aesthetic decor like gorgeous wallpaper and stunning china plates for the dishes. Our new first pick of date nights! We will return & want to work our way through the whole menu!
