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. More

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. More

You have to go - best restaurant in Goshen, hands down. Great food, friendly service, casual atmosphere, but make reservations even during the week unless you want to sit at the bar for a bit. More

This place is an absolute gem, much like downtown Goshen itself. My husband and I came here for a First Friday and we were shocked that Goshen was such a kickin' place. There are several great restaurants, with Kelly Jae's being the best, and lots of shopping. Just a really great time. The Cafe has food of a quality you... More

Not the cheapest restaurant you'll find, but Why would you want cheap when you can have the best. The Pad Tai is highly recommend, as well as the crab cakes, and pretty much everything else they make. I've not had a bad, or even average dish yet. More

So delicious. We loved everything we ordered, especially the soups. Staff was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. Had a fabulous evening and incredible meal. Only wish we'd saved room for dessert! More
