John Johnson is out of this world! Well, he's really from Neptune, NJ -- but his cuisine is out of this world.

Chef Johnson took over the post as executive chef at Avenue Le Club in January. His dishes are as beautiful as the expansive dining room. Billed as "San Tropez-in-NJ," a wall of windows looks out on the Atlantic, while, inside, white banquets, warm lighting, a fireplace, and perfect service create a seductive contemporary dining experience.
