Best Live Music Restaurants in Madison

My party all agreed it was one of our best meals. Everything just came out perfect. Salmon, tenderloin, and risotto entrees were fabulous. The patio/garden decorated for Christmas was festive. We had John as our server and he was so lovely, bright, and enthusiastic. This was my first time but I strongly recommend and will return myself!

We love coming here; our server was excellent. Tonight, we made the mistake of ordering Lobster Bisque & the Crawfish Gnocchi … tip for diners: avoid the Gnocchi as they just drown the gnocchi with the same Lobster Bisque & there are barely any seafood pieces; it was a soupy mess and we did not finish it. I’d recommend their servers guide restaurant guests away from ordering both in the same sitting. Otherwise, we very much enjoyed!

I have two words to begin with “LOVE IT”. Me and my family had a great experience with food, service, and music. Will definitely be back when visiting Nashville.

Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.

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!
