    On dirait un restaurant à l'agonie . J'étais le seul client après avoir réservé depuis plusieurs jours et je n'étais pas attendu du tout . Je demande ce qu'était aujourd'hui le " catch of the day " et visiblement la serveuse n'en avait jamais entendu parler et ne connaissait pas du tout la carte, c'était cocasse de la voir lire le menu avec moi . Elle s'est absentée un long moment avant de revenir me dire que le poisson était du saumon du cap soit le chef n'était pas là soit il a fallu le temps de regarder dans le congélateur ce qu'il y avait comme poisson ....j' ai préféré partir ce que la serveuse a accueilli avec un grand sourire ....

    Hi there. Ndu here the owner of AuthentiQ Bar& Restaurant. I have tried to contact you on the number you left here to no success. Please note that I have gone back and investigated this experience that you had at my establishment and when reading it, I was very upset and concerned at what you had allegedly experienced in my establishment. I spoke to my waiter and managers and they clearly explained that there was a language barrier issue as you could not fully express yourself in English, which caused my waiter having to read and point out the menu items and your preferred choice as well. It is quite disheartening to read and see such a review for someone who did not sit in and even have a drink or a meal at the establishment. The restaurant was quiet for the mere fact that we are still in January and it’s not a great month for us in this industry. Thank you for passing by, I wish you would have written this review having experienced our service, food and drinks, but alas. Do contact me should you wish to chat more about your review both here and on google. Kind regards, Ndu 0718859231

    The service was bad bad, not to mention the food. They don’t have ingredients, what a bad experience

    The food was excellent but the service was very slow. My colleague ordered a slice of cake which took 20 minutes to arrive. They also tend top your glass of with juice in the same glass no matter the flavour of juice. The place is beautiful, but the unisex toilets are not something that is advisable in our current times.

    Waiters must be more professional and pay attention to detail when one is ordering. A lot of things on the menu were unavailable, inventory methods must be revisited.

    The place is really nice looking aesthetically but the bathrooms definitely need some work. The service was also abit disappointing. We walked in and no one welcomed us and we waited for a long time before getting any assistance. The was only one person on the floor which created a delay in service

    The customer service was amazing and the stuff so helpful. The chef personally helped me use the bathroom since there is no wheelchair accessible toilet at the restaurant. The food was to die for
