Whispers is the perfect place for a romantic evening. The Victorian ambiance, with its crystal chandeliers and elegant fine dining, sets the tone for a special night out. As one reviewer put it, 'The ambiance is very nice. Tables a little too close together. The dining room was full. Noise just a little too much. There was a smaller dining room with almost no one in it which have been used for the over flow crowd.' It's a quiet and comfortable spot for conversation and intimate moments.

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.

    First time dining here, definitely will be back again! The service was top notch, cocktails and food were outstanding and the ambience was beautiful. The entire restaurant is currently decorated for the Holiday season, each room different. We had crab cake, lentil coconut soup, monkfish and rib eye. Everything was made to perfection!

    We enjoyed Brandl’s Restaurant week menu, which had a variety of choices not usually found on their regular menu. For starters, we had the tuna poke and crab cake. The poke was new and fabulous. The pickled vegetables and a hint of heat from the sriracha was delicious. I hope Brandl’s brings this back. For entrees, my husband and I both had the flounder. Two nice pieces of flounder were filled with a wonderful cream filling of spinach and feta over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert, we ended with apple strudel with can ice cream and pumpkin cheesecake served with one coffee and a cappuccino. A few items on the special menu included pork tenderloin Wellington, pumpkin spiced potstickers to name a few. Overall, the food was outstanding with wonderful service.
