Best Restaurants for Foodies in Pennington Villas

Our family group of four ate here for the first time while celebrating my mother's 91st birthday. The food and service were superb. Our dinner choices included Pelato Salad, Panelle, Radiatori Vodka, Chicken Parmigiana, Creamy Spinach, Polenta Bolognese, Roasted Mushrooms and Chicken Saltimbocca. My wife requires gluten-free options and the menu was very clear about that, although it was easy to lose track of those choices after the dishes arrived. Our server, Cayli, was outstanding in every way. She manages to be both friendly and effective - a real professional. Both the manager and owner visited our table; a nice touch. Highly recommended.

Best restaurant in Nashville! Creative, yet accessible food Amazing owners, amazing staff, brilliant food Just go

Our server Marisol was the best! She served with a smile

Such a great experience all around. Can’t recommend enough. We will be going back in a couple of months and cannot wait! Even if this is not your style of cuisine, the experience is worth trying. The food was outstanding. My wife really “does not like” sushi, sashimi, etc. However, she HIGHLY enjoyed 80% of the 14-course omakase. The quality of ingredients really sets this place apart, and provides a great opportunity to really learn about this style of cuisine. The chefs were exceptional, a great balance of social and professional. They were very willing to accommodate both gluten-free and kosher preferences. Also told us about each dish they made as it was being made in front of us. The drinks/cocktails were also great! Top class for Nashville. Great sake and Japanese whiskey selection as well. And the staff was incredible! Took our coats, checked on us regularly, and was an overall pleasure to interact with. We felt really well taken care of. Again, can’t recommend enough.

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!
