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 STORY BEHIND THE PROVING GROUND…WE TOOK A LITTLE HISTORY FROM THE AREA WHEN NAMING AND DESIGNING THE RESTAURANT AFTER THE SANDY HOOK PROVING GROUNDS. ESTABLISHED IN 1874, IT BECAME THE FIRST US ARMY PROVING GROUND TO TEST ARTILLERY AND OTHER MATERIALS. AND THAT’S WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT – TESTING NEW MENU ITEMS AND SPECIALIZING IN THE NEWEST CRAFT BEER AND COCKTAILS. WE LIKE TO MIX IT UP WITH OUR EVENTS, MUSIC, AND EXPERIENCE TO ALWAYS KEEP THINGS FRESH AND FUN.

    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.

    Enjoyed the cocktail menu and a delicious dinner. The Spinelli salad was great and appreciated the warm bread and wonderful service. All of our entrees were delicious and portions are very generous-love that the pasta dishes can be a half portion which is still very substantial.

    Amazing experience as the service was impeccable and the food delicious! Such a beautiful spot by the roaring fire and watching the ocean just steps away! Highly recommend. Best salmon I’ve had in a long time I can’t say enough about the service- so accommodating!
