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.

Amazing Brunch at Rooney's today with great friends. They have something for everyone. The stuffed loin of pork was so delicious as was everything else. So much to choose from. The pastry basket is really special and so are the menu items that are included in the brunch. It doesn't get any better than this and no one compares. Rooney's does it right!

Our party of six really enjoyed our evening at Rum Runner. Our server was terrific (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) - professional, friendly. The cocktails and wine were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers (ahi tuna nachos & jerk chicken lettuce cups), and the entrees were very good. My only critique was that my Betty salad with sesame ahi tuna was drenched in dressing. Other than that, a terrific evening at a beautiful venue.
