I visited here for the first time for lunch. Went with my wife and we absolutely loved the restaurant. It was very low-key and there were not a lot of people in there. Due to this, we were able to have a lot of conversations with the wait staff and felt like it was almost an individual dining experience. The drinks, the food, and the atmosphere was incredible. We will definitely be coming back. Worth every penny! Delicious and great job!

Had an excellent dining experience with family tonight! All of the cocktails are fantastic but the best was the the Blueberry Bourbon Sour. The ice cube is made with a special limoncello and fruit mixture that elevates the flavors as you drink.

After settling into our new neighborhood, we were eager to experience Kelly Jae’s, a restaurant that had garnered a wealth of positive feedback. Regrettably, our experience did not match the commendations we had heard.

We have eaten at this restaurant several times. We love the food. We know it is hard to get a table. Reservations were required in the past. Knowing this, we reserved our table and arrived 5 minutes before our reservation. Instead of being given a table, a walk-in party was seated before us at the only available table. Another couple before us had a reservation as well and were unhappily seated at the bar. We were told the only option for our party was to sit at the bar and that due to a large 40 person group they had to juggle things around. Also, I “must not know how they operate there”. In my reservation request, I specified a low top table was necessary. No apology, no offer for us to wait for another table. We were incredibly disappointed, as it was a special occasion and folks in our party had already been excited about our menu choices. Thankfully, we were able to get a table at the Oakwood. Excellent food and excellent service there. Kelly Jae’s you can and should do better! I never leave bad reviews. But this one is deserved.

Such a great gem here in the heart of lake country. We had an amazing dinner, we were celebrating my girlfriend’s promotion and wanted to go somewhere really nice and they were all we wanted. Cassie, our server was spot one and Matt the bartender guided us on a good port for dessert. Loved the atmosphere, there was music but not too loud and the decor was great, I just can’t say enough about it. And the food, oh so good! Her filet just melted in your mouth a d my tuna was seared to perfection. Definitely worth checking out.

I wish I could give zero stars we spent over $400 for our meals with 5 people. Our friend received her meal with a BUG on her plate. The staff were rude and dismissive when we made them aware. We were appalled at their response that the said the food is organic and they cannot control when that happens and it happens frequently. They never offered to comp a meal or a dessert and just made excuses for the lack of professionalism from the kitchen staff and servers to address or acknowledge the fact there was a BUG on the plate. They said, as we received the bill that they did not charge us for remaking of the meal. It was not moving so it was not hiding under organic food. It was in plain sight. Totally disgusting and I will not be back. BUGS in food, please do not waste your money

Could have been a 5 star rating. We arrived on time for a 5:30 pm reservation on a Friday night. Upon entering with reservations we were told we had 90 minutes before next party needed our table, that we “should be good” but be mindful of time frame. Atmosphere on a Friday night was nice. Service good. Appetizers were served over a period of time and they did not take our entree order until they were clearing appetizer plates. We waited quite a while for our meals. Our main entrée was served 15 minutes before our time was up. Aware of our deadline we finished our meals. We were not offered desserts but did ask for dessert menu. She did ask if we would like to order take home. We declined. While we were writing out our payment, 10 minutes late now, the hostess returned to our table and asked us if our server had told us the next party was waiting for their table. Really? Food was very good and server was pleasant and attentive. I have never been pushed at a restaurant like this before and we had no part of being late or over our allotted time frame. It was disappointing to say the least. I understand you want to provide service that is promised upon reservations. By warning us we had an allotted time tells me they have a problem making their deadlines. By the way we made reservations 3 weeks in advance. For the amount of money spent at an upscale restaurant, I would expect better service than this. We will be back and hope not to have this experience again.

A gem in Syracuse. A couple small plates a person makes a generous menu. The arancini and stuffed dates were delicious and the grilled romaine salad was exceptional.

Food is good. Nice atmosphere. For a higher end restuarant I would perfer actual menus vs. only a QR option.
