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.

    Christmas eve dinner. Waited 90 minutes for entrees. Waiter did best he could but kitchen was epically failing. Management misled us several times saying food would be right out. Maitre D said “6 minutes” and then he left for night and it took 30 minutes more. Just be honest that youre having a problem in kitchen. We were given a free glass of wine when we asked for it, but staff was avoiding table and eye contact most of time. Extremely disappointing.

    We must start with our waiter, Tyler. He was wonderful!! He was professional, friendly, provided outstanding service & allowed time for you to enjoy your meal. The caviar appetizer was delicious! It was accompanied by blinis, chopped onion, capers, sour cream. It was enough for two to share. The branzino was perfectly cooked served over roasted potatoes, fennel & an olive tapenade. YUM! The beef bourguignon was equally as delicious! We ended the evening with the apple torte & vanilla ice cream. A perfect ending to a delightful dinner. Will definitely return & ask for Tyler!

    Food was great, atmosphere nice, felt upscale but not over the top. For a quiet winter night, was a great place, the fire added to the cold evening!! Worth the 45 minute drive.

    wonderful mid afternoon meal. first time dining here. the menu attracted us . great diversity. decided to have appetizers .. steak and tuna tatares were delicious... followed by cheese plate. for a mid day friday afternoon we may have been the only couple dining so were unrushed . its a bit of a long drive for us but we had been in the neighborhood so decided to try it. will definitely return for a meal which will include entrees next time. a little pricey but everything seems to be that way nowadays.

    My husband and I love it here and he wanted to go there for his BD dinner. Quiet night after the holiday. Food was not the same as we usually have had. Maybe just an off night.
