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.

    I dined at The Grand Tavern last night with my wife and daughter. We selected our preferred location the bar to watch and talk to the expert mixologist, Erin, and the chefs’s magic in the kitchen. The real draw is the food, expertly prepared bistro food with a French flair, and the creative cocktails, as noted earlier. Dining at “The Grand” is an opportunity to go on a culinary adventure that elevates your mood and should not be missed.

    We so enjoyed our pre-Valentines dinner. It was happy hour at the bar when we arrived so we enjoyed a delicious dirty martini at a great price. My dinner appetizer was the pasta fagiol Soup that was very delicious with some added Parmesan cheese. My husband had the seafood appetizer which is always fantastic. It had an amazing variety of seafood in it. I had the raviolis which I always have to have when I’m at this restaurant. They remind me of my grandmother’s recipe. My husband enjoyed the veal franchise, the veal was very tender. To top off our celebration I had a strawberry chocolate martini. All I can say is Yum!

    We loved our salads and soups. I had the tomato bisque and my husband had the French onion soup. Courtney was our sever and she truly stood out for being attentive on a busy Friday night and extremely professional. There was live music and a busy bar scene so not a quiet spot, but a great vibe.
