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.

AND THAT’S WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT – TESTING NEW MENU ITEMS AND SPECIALIZING IN THE NEWEST CRAFT BEER AND COCKTAILS. WE LIKE TO MIX IT UP WITH OUR EVENTS, MUSIC, AND EXPERIENCE TO ALWAYS KEEP THINGS FRESH AND FUN.

Once we were seated everything was great. Excellent food, terrific server, nice casual pubby atmosphere with an energetic vibe. Somewhat overpriced (as too many restaurants are these days) , and the front end was sort of a mess with diners waiting way past their reservation time for tables to open up. The hostess staff was very nice and apologetic about the wait, but still there should be a better way to manage reservations to meet expectations. Got things off on the wrong foot, but everything else made up for it.
