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 haven’t been to the restaurant in a while, and my husband and I were very pleasantly surprised with the wonderful menu and the quality of food. We can’t wait to go back to try some of the other dishes. We also really enjoyed the selection of non-alcoholic drinks. My only criticism was that they need to step it up a little bit with the dessert offerings. Our meals were delicious.
