A hidden-edge-of-old-town Greek grill with standout skewers and cozy courtyard vibes; great meats and kind service with occasional service hiccups and portion/value quibbles.
Set just off the bustle of Old Town, Ovelos feels like a neighborhood hideaway with tables tucked beneath trees and a small square for people-watching. Service is often described as warm and welcoming, and the setting as cozy and romantic. One diner summed it up: "A quiet courtyard, great meat, and staff who make you feel at home." The cooking leans classic taverna—grilled meats, crisp salads, and a few seasonal starters—executed with care rather than flash. Skewers and steaks are the calling card, with the pork and chicken frequently praised as tender and flavorful and the T-bone singled out by steak lovers. Portions can feel modest to some, and prices sit fair for the quality and location; think simple plates done well, supported by craft Greek beers and easy-drinking house wine. Families will find enough familiar choices—grilled chicken, pork, fries, and Greek salad—to keep kids comfortable, though there is no explicit kids menu noted. Outdoor seating is pleasant but some tables get direct sun, and the occasional courtyard cats may charm or distract. For most families, it is casual and approachable rather than specialized for children.
