Booked 7 times today
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.

    I had not been to this restaurant in several years. The decor has changed-very nice. The menu did have some of the previous items, in addition to some what I would describe as”pub-style” selections. I had the bourbon glazed sucking pig whic was probably the most delicious piece of pork I ever had. My friend enjoyed the halibut immensely. Our dessert, which we shared, was the S’mores item. It was a really different take on this classic. Absolutely delicious and a unique way of serving it in a small iron skillet. Our servers were delightful. Attentive without being intrusive. Very glad I returned to this restaurant. Will be back.
