Marée is the French word for "tide." The restaurant grew out of our founders' travels through the South of France, where they wandered markets, surfed quiet coastlines, and lingered in neighborhood bistros. The hospitality there felt generous, effortless, and genuine, and they wanted to bring it home.So they did, in Spring Lake: a French coastal bistro and bar built for the people who live here. From the kitchen to the bar, everything we do celebrates craftsmanship, connection, and the season. It's a place meant to feel like coming home.*Outside Dining is weather permitting & first come, first serve**Bar Seating is first come, first serve* Please note that on Fridays & Saturdays we have a 15 minute grace period for all reservations. If you are running late please let us know.

    My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at 618 for the 4th time. As always, the food, service, and ambiance were excellent. They do a great job of recognizing your anniversary from the moment you check in until you pay the check. Our waiter, Mark, was fantastic. He greeted us by name, spent time discussing our anniversary, and made sure we felt like valued customers. Mark consistently stopped by to ask if we needed anything. I highly recommend 618 for any event or just to have dinner.
