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 food was fabulous. We loved everything about this restaurant. Also, Lilly, our waitress, was absolutely fantastic!! It was a very busy night, large holiday parties and short staffed. However, she was on point without missing a beat. I’ll most definitely return.

We celebrated our anniversary at The Squire, and it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance was cozy and festive, with beautiful Christmas decorations that added a magical touch to the evening. We enjoyed the appetizers and cocktails; as a main course, the filet mignon and prime rib, both were superb. The filet mignon was tender and full of flavor, while the prime rib was perfectly seasoned and juicy. And to close the dessert with the anniversary touch was incredible. The service was outstanding. Our waiter Cory was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed to make our evening special. Overall, The Branches provided a memorable dining experience that made our anniversary celebration truly special. Highly recommended for any special occasion, especially during the holiday season.
