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.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PROVING GROUND…WE TOOK A LITTLE HISTORY FROM THE AREA WHEN NAMING AND DESIGNING THE RESTAURANT AFTER THE SANDY HOOK PROVING GROUNDS. ESTABLISHED IN 1874, IT BECAME THE FIRST US ARMY PROVING GROUND TO TEST ARTILLERY AND OTHER MATERIALS. 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.

    Drifthouse by David Burke is a coastal dining treasure that pairs oceanfront elegance with inventive cuisine. The inviting ambiance, with panoramic Atlantic views, sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. Highlights include the Pretzel Crab Cake, a creative twist on a classic that balances rich crab meat with a satisfyingly crunchy crust, and the perfectly cooked halibut, served with vibrant accompaniments that enhance its delicate flavor. End the meal with the tangy, refreshing Key Lime Pie, a flawless nod to coastal desserts. With expertly crafted cocktails, a stellar wine list, and impeccable service, Drifthouse delivers a dining experience as memorable as its breathtaking setting.

    We went with another couple during restaurant week and were pleasantly surprised. Food, ambience, service, quality etc. very good. We’re sorry it’s a bit far or we’d have found a great neighborhood bar! Very nice and with parking!

    On a warm November Wednesday evening my husband and I had dinner at The Marina. Cozy and quiet on the water with seating now indoors - summer seating outside closed. A lovely seasonal menu offered Autumn Salad, scallop and crab cakes entrees followed by chocolate panacotta- all beautifully prepared and delicious. We’ll be back again to enjoy other seasonal menu offerings from a wonderful chef.

    Always excellent! Happy Hour provides great wine by the glass at low prices and delicious appetizers. Highly recommend the steak tartare and for dinner, the risotto. Dessert should not be missed!
