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.

    Food was great, atmosphere nice, felt upscale but not over the top. For a quiet winter night, was a great place, the fire added to the cold evening!! Worth the 45 minute drive.

    wonderful mid afternoon meal. first time dining here. the menu attracted us . great diversity. decided to have appetizers .. steak and tuna tatares were delicious... followed by cheese plate. for a mid day friday afternoon we may have been the only couple dining so were unrushed . its a bit of a long drive for us but we had been in the neighborhood so decided to try it. will definitely return for a meal which will include entrees next time. a little pricey but everything seems to be that way nowadays.

    My husband and I love it here and he wanted to go there for his BD dinner. Quiet night after the holiday. Food was not the same as we usually have had. Maybe just an off night.
