Downtown Spring Lake, NJ's first and only neighborhood bistro and bar.
Not a club. A current.
Our founding membership. Priority reservations, insider experiences, and exclusive access from day one.
Marée, meaning 'tide' in French, reflects the ever-changing, yet enduring, nature of the ocean that has shaped this community.
Our vision is to honor the building's history while shaping what's next for Spring Lake. From kitchen to bar, everything celebrates craftsmanship, connection, and seasonality.
We built Marée for people who believe that great restaurants should feel like community.
We source thoughtfully with an emphasis on local makers and sustainable - seasonal ingredients.
A balance of creativity, simplicity, and taste.
The door’s always open, the table’s always set, and everyone is welcome.
Rooted in tradition, driven by community, inspired by the coast.
Founded by Jersey Shore locals Marilyn Schlossbach and Bret Morgan , Marée was born from a shared passion for community and craft. Marilyn, a celebrated chef and restaurateur, infuses the space with decades of culinary artistry and a deep commitment to local culture. Bret, an entrepreneur and visionary developer, brings a talent for transforming places into hubs of connection and creativity. Together, they’ve built more than a restaurant—they’ve created a coastal gathering place that embodies warmth, craftsmanship, and the soul of the shore.
We see food as a bridge — connecting people, stories, and local businesses.
We source thoughtfully, with an emphasis on local and seasonal produce.
Honest food, genuine service, and a respect for place.
A culture of kindness and care — every guest, every time.
A commitment to practices that support our environment and economy.
Just like the tides, we evolve with our community's needs and rhythms.
Sea air. Late laughter. Familiar faces.
We serve simplicity done well — ingredient-driven dishes, coastal cocktails, and the kind of service that remembers your name.
Marée is a reflection of Spring Lake's rhythm and charm. A place to gather, celebrate, and feel at home.
Seasonal, ingredient-driven dishes.
Timeless cocktails, ethical wines, local craft beer.
A place for friends and neighbors.
Supporting local farms and makers.
Genuine service that feels familiar.
Conscious choices in sourcing and design.

Everything you need to know about joining Marée’s founding member collective.
Membership at Marée is designed to give our most engaged guests a more seamless, generous, and personal dining experience. All members receive priority access to reservations, dedicated support for same-day openings, and a set of privileges that make visits feel easy and welcoming year-round.
We offer three tiers of membership, each built around a different level of access and involvement:
High Tide Community
Our core membership. It provides the fullest reservation access, the longest booking window, and the most flexibility. Founding members also receive a multi-year rate hold.
High Tide Community + Wine Locker
Our most elevated tier. It includes everything in High Tide, plus a private wine locker, preferred pricing, priority access to rare allocations, and concierge-level wine service.
First Tide Community
A more accessible entry tier that offers the same sense of connection and ease, with a smaller reservation allotment and a shorter booking window.
No matter the tier, membership is about belonging to a community that values hospitality, intention, and the feeling of being looked after each time you walk through the door.
The High Tide Community is Marée’s founding membership — a small, intentional group of friends, locals, and frequent guests who value genuine hospitality and belonging. It’s your place at the table, all year long.
Members enjoy preferred access to reservations, exclusive experiences, and gatherings that move with the rhythm of the shore. It’s not a club — it’s a current.

Guest access varies by membership tier, but all members may bring guests when using their reservation benefits. Higher tiers include broader guest privileges — such as additional weekend access or shared household benefits — while entry tiers include more limited guest accommodations.
Guest access is tied to the member who books the reservation, and availability may vary during peak periods or member-only seatings. Each tier’s card outlines its specific guest allowances.
Membership runs on a May-to-May schedule. If you join now, your membership is active through April 2027, giving you a full season and then some. After that, renewals happen each May.
Yes. You can request an upgrade to the Wine Locker tier when a locker becomes available, and you're free to adjust or cancel your membership at the end of each annual cycle.
Start by completing the short application. You’ll choose your preferred tier and share a bit about how you plan to experience Marée.
Every application is personally reviewed, and approved applicants receive private instructions to finalize their membership. Openings are limited and reviewed in order of submission.
Join our list to receive early invitations, insider updates, and a first look as Marée rises.
Welcome aboard. See you at high tide.
