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 are regular diners at this lovely Sea Bright restaurant. Although the weather was really cold and rainy, it was worth it as it was the Saturday after Valentine’s Day, and we wanted to go to someplace special. We were not let down . There is a side dining room that was set up for just for the occasion, and we were fortunate to have a great waiter (Mike, who may also be the assistant manager). The room was quiet and setting romantic. We had their Valentine’s Day special of fillet mignon and shrimp both delicious. Although we had a special for two, they paid attention to cooking details individually, which was great Mike’s SERVICE was just great. He paid attention to everything.. We had a bottle of Grillo to compare to the bottle we had last time . Still very good but I think the one we had last time was a bit better. Mike suggested a Keylime pie for dessert and we split a piece which was just enough to leave a wonderful ending impression. We recommend this place highly and will be back .
