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.

    My nephew, who’s been a chef on private yachts for decades, was visiting and wanted to dine at an oceanfront restaurant to celebrate his dad (who passed awsy one year ago). We chose Rooney’s, never having eaten here before. We were not disappointed. The atrium, where we were seated, had a wonderful view of the ocean and the room was very comfortably heated, in addition to feeling spacious and elegant. We started with the baked artichoke appetizer…with a little more of the tasty bread, it could have been a meal! My vegan husband had the Spicy Rigatoni (unfortunately the only vegan option) which he said was great. I had the pan fried bronzini with sweet chili sauce. And even though I rarely like fish, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sides of mashed Gouda cauliflower and crispy Brussels sprouts were amazing. My nephew- chef loved the lobster roll…except for the fact the roll wasn’t toasted and buttered, which he felt was a real mistake. Overall, our experience was top notch. We will be back!

    Went there on Veterans Day for free entree. Was pleasantly surprised that ALL entrees were free for vets and not a limited menu. Got a filet mignon cooked to perfection. Normally $48…excellent service… Thanks Tim Mcloones. 👍

    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!
