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.

    We had a delicious lunch. My husband had salmon and I had the seafood pasta (wonderfully spicy). We then shared a yummy crème brûlée and cappuccinos. We have dined here many times and always enjoy the food and ambience. Sitting by the fireplace and looking out at the ocean is always a treat! We will be back soon.
