We went to Klein's a few weeks ago for lunch. The place was tucked away on River Rd, very easy to get to, park and was seated immediately. (It was around 12:30). The food was very tasty and portions were robust. We will go back without a doubt. Great choice.

Great seafood and nice waterfront ambience. Cool to see the train cross the water behind us while we were eating lunch.

The ambiance was perfect. We were seated next to the water, getting to watch the boats go by, and the bridge going up. There was live music being played, and there were patio string lights lighting up at dusk. The food was delicious. We got fried calamari as our appetizer and, for dinner, the seafood pasta and broiled shrimp and scallops.

Beautiful view of the inlet with boats coming and going. Buttered Lobster roll was excellent and the Fish and chips was delicious and 2 large pieces of fish. Service was incentive.

Stopped by for first time based on Yelp- thanks! Restaurant was on water and busy on a Friday @ lunchtime; would like to eat on dock sometime. I went to market which was busy. All fish looked great, no off smells, reasonably priced for fresh seafood. I bought local flounder; it was outstanding: sautéed in butter/ olive oil and some s+p. ( and simple butter/wine/ lemon pan sauce!). I'd go out of my way to buy fish from here again.
