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.

As usual, the service is consistently attentive. The grilled cheese and tomato soup are the best ever! Great location on the boardwalk. Eating inside or outside has it's own vibes. A perfect beach day treat! I took my fiancé to the shore for his first trip there and would not take him anywhere else but Robinson's! He loved it! Suggestion: offer valet parking, even if it's paid.

Delicious dinner at La Dolce Vita. Hadn’t been in a few years but did not disappoint. Sat outside and enjoyed oysters and mussels to start in a delicious white wine garlic sauce. For dinner had the fettuccine dolce vita and my husband had the seafood risotto.
