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.

    We had a wonderful experience to celebrate a birthday. The service was excellent, and the ambience was perfect for the event. The food was delicious, and the presentation was also good. Everything is a bit overpriced, especially for the area, but there was enough for leftovers, so I can’t complain too much. It was a great evening!

    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.
