Restaurant Review

Elegance and energy in a restaurant are not often found on the Jersey Shore. This is the exception. This upscale, oceanfront restaurant in the Pier Village area of Long Branch serves up creative, well prepared French fare to patrons looking for the hot place to be.

The restaurant is two stories tall and looks out on the avenue and on the ocean through large Art Deco-style windows and glass doors. The cocktail bar and a raw bar are rimmed with mirror glass and shelves of multi-colored bottles. A glass enclosed fireplace is a nice touch to an attractive atmosphere vibrating with the young trendy, upscale crowd.

Chef Mora, trained under the famed chef Daniel Boulud, serves up an imaginative French menu with a well prepared consistency, although a bit on the pricey side.

Recommended entrees include; Braised Veal Cheekswith parsnip puree, and mire poix sauce; Yellow Fin Tuna Niçoise with tomatoes, red onions, fingerling potatos, niçoise olives, red peppers and truffle vinaigrette; and Filet au Poive
with potato puree, Swiss chard, chipolini onionsand confit carrots.

Save room for dessert, pastry chef, Elizabeth Virostko, serves up sumptuous desserts, recommended favorites include; Chocolate Praline Fondant; Crème Brûlée; and Chocolate Gateau.

This is not the place to go to for a cozy, intimate, romantic dining experience, the noise from the 'Le Club ' on the upper level tends to interfere with an otherwise pleasant, fine dining experience.

The service is professional, although rushed during the peak hours.
