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.

    On a busy, busy night, Christmas Eve, we didn’t feel rushed for a second, Dalton was terrific, handled our weird questions with ease and grace, she was a lively and lovely part of our time at Brothers. If we weren’t in the Christmas spirit, it wouldn’t have been for long. The bar, restaurant and outdoor space are decorated for the holidays, not an inch or dollar was spared, absolutely spectacular, tasteful and joyous decorations everywhere. Magnificent, really. We inhaled oysters, so fresh, perfectly shucked, could have eaten another dozen (and then some), delicious wines and cocktails, then three delish entrees including special. No room for dessert. A perfect night, will be back. And back again, thank you!

    The hostess at the front I think her name was Katie was amazing! Julie, our waitress needs a little bit more help. First off the table was dirty. When people are asking for bottled water if you don’t have bottled water, but you have filtered water that needs to be explained. When people are asking for a straw. Please put straw in a napkin, not with your bare hands. Other than that, Julie was very nice. Just some things she needs to work on. I hope this place does really well cause it’s a great concept. Good luck!
