Simply divine. Our latest visit to Authentic was just perfect. Such a treat and a level above everything else, maybe bar Gusto’s. The venue is still breath taking and the food just keeps getting better and better. We will be back later in the year. I can’t recommend trying Authentic enough.

Beautiful restaurant very expensive though, My starter was not good we asked for calamari and it came hard and nearly burnt. not happy with that . The main was better really enjoyed it so my experience was 50/50 . . would I go again I don't think so as it's not really my style I like more up lifting restaurants with a vibe .
