So sad to hear this spot closed. They had the best avocado toast we'll miss you guys!!!read more

I've had this place on my bookmarks for well over a year, so I was excited to finally make it here…read more The place was pretty empty, but very clean and inviting and the door was open. We ordered two types of toasts and two cold brews. Whoa, I was not expecting it to be over $40. It took much longer than expected, over 20 minutes, and given that there were only two other customers after me, and none around when we arrived, I felt like it was excessive for a toast that had nothing on it that needed to be cooked per se. The owner was friendly when we arrived, but I'm not sure what happened because he was colder halfway through our visit. The toasts were good, I just wish our experience was a little better.

There are lot of seating options available outside and lot of customers enjoying the sunshine on a November day, a delight to watch.

The staff friendly welcomes and assist you with your order. The staff has that vibe which makes you feel come back to the cafe every day of your stay. We ordered coffee and croissant. The crossaint was delicious and melted in the mouth. Highly recommended place while you visit the Ortley or Seaside beaches.

Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. Our server was non-responsive most of the evening - we had to flag someone down just to get water refills. Specials were described without important details such as shellfish being included and they were out of much anticipated ingredients such as crab which was in many dishes on the menu. If the service matched the quality of the food, this place could be a go-to.

However, each and every time the food is consistently good as well as the service. We always start with whatever the specialty spring roll is and the firecracker shrimp. Usually get a cut of beef but lately we are trying to eat more fish. I had some kind of white fish this time around that didn't seem to look/taste as good as the scallop risotto which I will order next time. What I think Ohana does best is their bread pudding-always amazing and their house made chips. I often order these to go (you have to email them in advance) for a half tray. They're just that good. The bread pudding is out of this world

Great People and Value…read more Managed to find Klee's on our first visit to Seaside. Had a really nice lunch. Good drinks and good food. Our bartender Kevin was a gem! He made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some tips for our planned walking tour (aka pub crawl) after lunch. We were so happy with the service, food, drinks we went back at night for dinner. Hands down this is the best bar/restaurant in Seaside. We had the crab cakes, philly cheesesteak, fish sandwich and bar pies. Everything was great! If we are back in Seaside this summer and will definitely be back at Klee's. Thanks

Our bartender was excellent and after hearing I was vegetarian, she recommended the eggplant sandwich. The eggplant is thin and perfectly crisp. I low key wish this was an eggplant parm or dressed with some type of sauce, but it's delicious on its own. Last night we went Klee's and the food was good but the service was exceptional. Our waitress was extremely attentive. I got the eggplant sandwich with fries which I almost forgot about (I don't know how). Their fries are crisp and incredible. My mom got the meatloaf and instead of mashed potatoes got fries. Instead of broccoli, she got green beans. The portions were huge and she was very happy with the substitutions. We also got dessert which we regret not sharing because their portions were huge. She got the chocolate peanut butter pie and I got the apple crisp. The apple crisp was stacked. Both were good! Next time we will definitely split dessert because we were stuffed. I highly recommend checking this spot out. Oh if you are in the mood for lighter food, their nutty pear salad is so refreshing and yummy! I will definitely be back!
