I have eaten at Kelly Jae's approximately 5 times since their opening. The last visit resulted in us getting up and leaving after 10" of sitting at our table without being asked if we would like drinks or appetizers(How do you feel how i felt when i asked my mother to get up and leave on her Mother's day dinner)?...

...that such interesting and good food would be found on Main Street in Goshen? I don't get to Goshen for dinner very often but I have been here a few times before, with business colleagues and another couple. Each time we had a great time going over the details of the menu and noting the unusual offerings, unique flavorings and... More

This is a tapas bar, with great service and yummy food. The cafe is in an old restored building, with exposed brickwork and has a lovely warm atmosphere. The food is great..try the stuffed dates! ..the pad thai pork was great too!

I love Asian food and Tapas and these chefs combine the two to please the palate. My family has always enjoyed ourselves there whether they've created veggie delights with hummus and unique salad ingredients or seafood or beef delicacies. We visit Goshen about three times a year for five days at a time and alway eat here at least twice,... More

My wife and I took some people here for a business dinner. I had never dined here before, so it was her call. I really enjoyed myself. This is a solid restaurant with good food and even better service. The thing that I struggle with is a conceptual one: do you like to share your food? I went through the... More

This restaurant belongs in Chicago or Indianapolis but we are so lucky to have it here in Goshen. I have eaten there several times - both in the sushi bar and in the main restaurant. The food is simply superb. The sushi, in my opinion, is the best in the area. I could compose poetry about the sushi...it's that good.... More

Diversity is the menu. The tapas style menu allows those who wish to order several small plates or appetizers. Or order a steak, or other main. Nice atmosphere inside, and summer diners can eat outside (though traffic noise may be annoying). I really enjoy the tomato bisque as appetizer. I have tried both the peppercorn steak and the blackened hanger... More

My work takes me to the Goshen IN area several times a year. I always make it a point to have dinner at Kelly Jae's. I've never been disappointed with the quality of the food, the service or the ambiance of the room. On my last visit I started with the shrimp potstickers that were prepared in a spicy soy... More

Really good tapas style of restaurant with solid choices and a good wine list. Service can be slow because they were packed when I was there. If you go for a birthday, you'll be amazed how good one of the wait staff can sing the birthday song.

Nice tapa place. I was alone and wanted to eat at bar, but told I could only order sushi there (????). Service was a bit slow, but Karen, the owner, waited on me and was very nice. I would certainly return when in the area.
