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.

    Great place! It was our first time here. Even though the place was packed our server never made us wait too long and she was always checking in on us to see if we needed anything. The giant screens are awesome to watch the games. Overall a great experience and we will be back!

    We had a delicious lunch. My husband had salmon and I had the seafood pasta (wonderfully spicy). We then shared a yummy crème brûlée and cappuccinos. We have dined here many times and always enjoy the food and ambience. Sitting by the fireplace and looking out at the ocean is always a treat! We will be back soon.

    We tried Brothers Daly for the first time last night and it was excellent! Our sever Jake mentioned he was new to serving but he did a great job. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made good recommendations, and was attentive but not over bearing. We ordered a few drinks, a bunch of apps, and split an entree. The soda bread was some of the best ive had and was not dry like the grocery store version. My husband said the french onion soup was one of the best hes ever had and all of our cocktails were delicious. Definitely adding this place to our rotation
