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 must start with our waiter, Tyler. He was wonderful!! He was professional, friendly, provided outstanding service & allowed time for you to enjoy your meal. The caviar appetizer was delicious! It was accompanied by blinis, chopped onion, capers, sour cream. It was enough for two to share. The branzino was perfectly cooked served over roasted potatoes, fennel & an olive tapenade. YUM! The beef bourguignon was equally as delicious! We ended the evening with the apple torte & vanilla ice cream. A perfect ending to a delightful dinner. Will definitely return & ask for Tyler!

The food was fabulous. We loved everything about this restaurant. Also, Lilly, our waitress, was absolutely fantastic!! It was a very busy night, large holiday parties and short staffed. However, she was on point without missing a beat. I’ll most definitely return.
