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.

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.

This is one of those hidden gems that you must visit. Every time I go here I thoroughly enjoy my meal, my drinks and the service. They have an awesome bar with lots of top shelf spirits and if you love bourbon they have an awesome selection. Service is always amazing and what I love about them is that they always remember us. Anyone I know looking for someplace to go that they haven't been I always tell them to go here. Go for the burger - always perfect and one of the best at the shore. Pecan encrusted Salmon was also amazing.
