Discovering the experience of dining in a place such as Cannes or Nice was never easier than now with the opening of the French Bistro and Raw Bar, Avenue. The only difference between dining at Avenue and dining along the Côte d'Azur, is that your gaze lands on waves on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Avenue is located along our side of the pond, on our own eastern shores in Long Branch, New Jersey. This gleaming new restaurant is designed by the internationally renowned architect David Collins, and the collaboration is nothing short of amazing.

    Outstanding dinner from start to finish. Danica, our server, was excellent, very welcoming, engaging and knowledgeable. The food was superb. The lobster bisque was so good. Then my husband had the swordfish which was fresh and flavorful. I had the salmon with the cauliflower mash and asparagus. Everything was so delicious and cooked to perfection.

    The Drifthouse gave us a most memorable Valentine experience. We were seated at a prime table with a view of the ocean and the pool. Although off season, we had the feel that wait staff through top management were there to make this the wonderful time it actually was for us. Mealwas excellent! The seafood platter was fresh and cooked to yield greatest taste. Having to choose between two wonderful pies, the General Manager Hafid Elboji, solved my predicament by giving me BOTH! Serve throughout the meal by Vincent was flawless, anticipating our every need, and resolving it in anticipation. This is a high spot of Jersey Shore dining. I expect to be returning often!

    Brad was the best! He recommended the fish taco for Joe which were wonderful! I had the Drunken Clams and they were great … and the bread was “grilled” or whatever and it was delicious compared to the regular bread that has been served with the Drunken Clams! Once again thanks for a great night🙃
