 If you like food seasoned with the sound of waves crashing on the beach, head to Avenue. Spacious, grand and airy, the restaurant is a designer’s dream with every door, every window --- ceiling to floor --- allowing a glorious view of the Atlantic Ocean. Avenue makes a big impression and it isn’t only the look of the place. The kitchen measures up as well with contemporary French cooking by chef Dominique Filoni, late of St. Tropez. He crafts such classics as Dover sole meunière and salt-crusted whole fish with his own light touch. Chatham cod comes with a deconstructed chowder of bacon, potatoes, cockles, brioche, chive oil and onion confit. Hors d’oeuvres such as grilled octopus offer a memorable start to the meal. The wine list, 500 selections strong, draws from the great wine growing regions with a heavy emphasis on French and domestic selections. The raw bar draws special attention with its petit, royal and grand plateau servings --- spectacular two- or three-tiered platings that may hold such treasures as East or West Coast oysters, littleneck clams, king crab legs and lobsters.
