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 meal there. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. Four of us shared a couple of apps and then each had an entree. No one was disappointed. We also shared two soufflé- if you can save room they were terrific. We also love that it’s BYOB.
