The Shore Club - Spring Lake, New Jersey

Just wanted to say that I had a wonderful time dining at your restaurant 04/12/2025 . Both the food and the atmosphere were excellent! I especially appreciated the Pork chop was perfectly done, the atmosphere is really cozy, especially sitting by the fireplace makes it very romantic for the couple.I will definitely be returning!

BRIDE'S BEWARE! My wife and I got married at The Shore Club on 2/21/25. We did a run through of the ceremony the night before and asked if we could reserve the front row for the groom and bride family. They said no reserved signs necessary they would usher the families to the front. At the start of the ceremony they did not do this and my wife's family was scattered throughout the crowd, leaving the mother of the bride alone in the front row. We paid for Steak filet's at the reception and were served a lesser cut in a wellington crust and refused to accommodate food allergies of those who could not have the crust. Also during the reception, at the first round of drinks, their bartender was waving the tip bucket in the groom's face expecting a tip. Everyone tipped throughout the night but the groom and the first round? Finally, the day after, when we went to check out we still tipped the staff hundreds of dollars and asked if we could get the dinners for the 8 guests we paid for but could not attend. We were told no but that we would get a gift card for their sister restaurant for that value. Since then the manager Kiernan and the coordinator Dorina have been ignoring all forms of communication Texts, Calls, and emails trying to get said gift card. I could go on but think long and hard before using The Shore Club as a venue on your special day.

Pictures on website are deceiving. I was shocked with how rundown our rooms looked. It's old, and musty. The ceiling tiles have water stains. The shower stall was laughable. No shower curtain. Just a small partition of glass. Water runs all over the bathroom floor. There's a giant hole next to the shower head. The tiles are installed on a slant so when you're in the shower it makes you feel dizzy. The toilet ran all night long. Had to jiggle the handle multiple times. The outlet in the bathroom doesn't work. Barely any room in the bathroom. Beds are RIDICULOUSLY small. My daughter's room, we could barely close the door. Looked like someone took a crowbar to the doorjamb. Her room looked just as bad. There were also no electrical plates on the outlets in both rooms. They show renovated rooms on the website, yet the poolside rooms are just awful. Will not stay here again. ||||I'm giving it two stars because the raw oysters were phenomenal. ||||Beware, drinks are OVERPRICED. Not even top shelf quality.

We attended a beautiful wedding at the Shore Club Inn .
The Wedding appetizers were delicious as was our sit down dinner of Filet, roasted potatoes, asparagus spears or sea bass or chicken. There was a wonderful mixed green salad with strawberries, cranberries, glazed walnuts with a light balsamic dressing. The food was delicious. The
DJ was great and very entertaining. He made the reception a blast! I am not sure who made the wedding cake but it was
scrumptious- white cake with strawberry jam between the layers. There was also an ice cream station which the kids loved. The 2 bar tenders were great and did an outstanding job.
Our room was disgusting with black mold on the ceiling. There was only one tiny mirror above the sink in the bathroom to put make up on and my husband had to shave at the same time. The bathroom was filthy when we arrived. There was either vomit or pee on the
bathroom door. The bathroom floor was filthy with sand and dirt in the corners. The bed was so high that I had problems just getting up in the bed.
I'm 5 foot 5 and I have no idea how someone shorter could get in the bed. Only 1 lamp worked beside the bed. There was a tiny refrigerator in the room.
There were no hangers in the room. We could not get the room to cool down as the thermostat must have been broken. The only thing good about the room was the large screen TV. The shower had good water pressure but no hand held wand to keep a Woman's hair from getting soaked. There was no sit down bench in the shower either. This room could not
be used as a handicapped
room.
We always leave a generous tip for the house keeping staff but not this time.
My advise is to find other hotel accomodations if you
are attending a wedding at The Shore Club Inn.
We saw the bridal room at the Shore Club Inn...it was spacious and very nice. There was a private sitting room outside of the bridal room.
We had a blast at the wedding and it was a 10 star review for the wedding, reception, dinner, DJ, and seeing family members.
But the rooms need a major rehab.

We had dinner at Klein's Seafood on Friday night and the food was wonderful. The guitar player was great!
We ate breakfast at Marigold's. The food was delicious with generous portions.

We got married 9/13/2024
If you’re looking for a place with princess and ballroom vibes this is the venue! Beautiful staircase where you first enter. The chandeliers are so pretty. My pics don’t do the justice. I can’t recommend this venue enough. Food was delicious and strong drinks flowing! Chelsea was amazing from the day we signed the contract-the day of the wedding. The wedding day went by so fast. The bridal suite had 2 bathrooms and was super spacious. Only complaint was the sink in one of the bathrooms was leaking in the bridal suite. Chelsea quickly resolved it and included a to go station due to the inconvenience. Everything else was amazing. So many people raved about the cocktail hour. Many options to choose from when choosing the cocktail hour food. The grooms suite needs some work/updating. The chair is falling apart we didn’t take pics in there due to it being run down. We made the most of it and took pics in the lobby area.

My husband and I got married at The Shore Club in May. It was such a magical and special day. Chelsea, Heidi, Gabriel and the whole Shore Club staff were amazing from start to finish. We worked with Chelsea during the wedding planning process and she was so helpful and always responded to our questions whether they were big or small details. The hotel was great, the bridal suite was perfect for the girls to get ready in, and the guys got ready in one of their hotel rooms. We took pictures in the beautiful venue and took the trolley service to a few other off site locations. We were supposed to have our ceremony off site and less than 2 weeks before the wedding, we had to change those plans. Chelsea was so supportive during this stressful time. We ended up having the ceremony in the atrium at The Shore Club and it was decorated so beautifully with the sun shining behind us. The food during the cocktail hour and the reception were excellent and we had the best night of our lives. This venue was affordable and at the jersey shore which holds such a special place in our hearts. We would highly recommend booking The Shore Club for your special events! 10/10

We enjoyed the location, lobby bar and pianist. The staff was pleasant, and the on-site manager, Kiernan D., was extremely helpful. While the reception area was impressive, I hope the Shore Club undergoes much needed upgrades (plumbing, electric, furniture). Tighter maintenance and organization might be in order, especially at breakfast.

The food was awesome. I highly recommend the Sea Bass. However the service was lacking and our server seemed uninterested in us and would disappear often, even though the place was only half full. And, for some crazy reason, they feel blasting music extremely loud and to the point you can't have a conversation with the person next to you is somehow equal to great ambiance.
