I'm here for the third or fourth time excellent ,Gianna the waitress/ bartender amazing ! Food awesome , charcuterie board was delicious the choices of meats and fruits blended very well with the cheese and the prosciutto was not the cheap leathery type , the sirloin Pinza with blue cheese was perfect ambiance was casual bougie.! read more

Kavos has been on my list since they opened, and while I was satisfied overall, it's not somewhere I'll be rushing back to for a full meal. Think small plates with a pretty large price tag. The inside is very cute--but also very loud. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. when only one other table was seated and were placed next to the open kitchen, where we spent most of the evening watching staff standing around and chatting. The food also took quite a while to come out, though our server did a great job checking in and making sure we had everything we needed while we waited. The cauliflower and whipped feta were definite highlights. Risotto is usually my go-to dish, but this one fell a bit short--the rice was slightly undercooked. The bruschetta was average, and the steak and blue flatbread weren't memorable enough for us to even take leftovers home. Overall, it's a fun spot for drinks and light snacks, but I probably wouldn't return for a full dinner. read more

Peach Brie flatbread was phenomenal! Martinis are great. Nice atmosphere. The roasted cauliflower came in large heads of cauliflower instead of smaller pieces, which I've never seen before. Don't have an opinion on it - was just surprised. The butter cake dessert was to die for read more

Service was good, atmosphere was try-hard, food was not impressive. Very expensive for very cheap food. Quality was very poor and the flavors were nothing to write home about. We spent $310 for 7 people before tip. Portion sizes were large but we didn't end up finishing most of the plates because it just wasn't worth finishing. The drinks we ordered were not good - they had to run to the store for grapefruit juice for one of the cocktails we ordered and they came back with the cheap grapefruit juice in a plastic bottle to make our drink and that's exactly what it tasted like, but we paid premium prices for it. For $13 a drink, you should be had squeezing grapefruits imo. Won't be back. read more

I guess it was fine. My husband and I went here for a date night and the music was a bit louder, and the lights were a bit dark so harder to see the menu but all in all I think we would be back despite friends of ours saying they wouldn't come back. It is a bit finer dining with smaller portions, so don't expect to be full by the end. read more

Probably the best small plates establishment that we have been too in all of our travels including France, Italy, Hawaii, and the islands! The Chef's and staff at Kavos are amazing. They really knocked it out of the park! read more

Let me start by saying this is not an inexpensive meal. For two of us, it was over $200 with tip. However, We tried several dishes. First off, we had the caprese salad. It was so good and all the ingredients were fresh. Next, we tried the bolognese. My husband really liked it. I thought it was bland. I wouldn't order that again. It needed pecorino or salt or something. Next we had the seafood paella. It was outstanding. They put in calamari, mussels and shrimp. It had great flavor. Finally, the lamb lollipops were excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to order those again. The preparation was incredible. They put a mushroom risotto with it. It was delicious. It wasn't heavy . Hats off to the chef. For dessert we had the lime cheesecake. It was so good. However, the strawberries didn't work with it. The two flavors didn't meld. My one big disappointment is that they had no artificial sweetener. I do not use regular sugar. I tried it in the coffee and it did nothing. The coffee needs regular creamer. The little half and half's do nothing. It was disappointing that a restaurant as good as this wouldn't have artificial sweetener and real creamer. They have really good strong coffee, but it needs both of those. I would eat here again, but bring my own sweetener. read more

Very nice addition to the downtown Oconomowoc food scene. My wife and I enjoyed dinner this evening to celebrate our 14th anniversary. Immediately greeted upon entering and a very welcoming reception from the staff. A small plates menu that didn't disappoint. We started with Focaccia and oil & the burrata salad. Oil and bread was a trademark of my wife and I in the early years of dating/marriage This bread was fresh, airy, and well garnished. The oil and vinegar dip complimented it well. As to the salad, we debated on this as all salad options seemed appealing. We landed on burrata and it was a fine choice. The burrata was perfectly warmed and the greens, tomatoes etc were nice pairings too. For our "entree" small plates we landed on the gyros tacos and the peach brie flatbread. We originally wanted the pasta bolognese, but unfortunately this was not available during our visit. The gyros were very tasty. The tzatziki sauce was delish. I couldn't detect if the tacos had feta blended into the tzatziki or not. It wasn't obvious. I think adding a chunk of feta on the plate would be an excellent garnish to this dish. Otherwise, I still would have eaten many more- it was great! The replacement for the bolognese was the peach and brie flatbread. Served warm, it felt like a perfect brunch-like dish. I didn't expect to eat too much of it, but the mouthfeel and balanced sweet/savory taste keeps tempting you for an extra bite. I was pleasantly surprised! Our waitress and support staff were kind, welcoming and attentive to our table. Lastly, we were treated a complimentary dessert for our anniversary and we chose the key lime cheesecake. Every. Crumb. Eaten. 5 stars. The restaurant itself is centered in downtown Oconomowoc. The interior has a nice vibe and the intimate lighting. A variety of groups were in house: couples; ladies having a night out; friends enjoying drinks at the bar. Tunes were playing, but not so loud that we couldn't still have a nice conversation at the table. Nice, modern decor in an older building. My wife and I are already planning our next visit. That obviously means...5 stars here. You should go. read more

Oh geez...my favorite meat is lamb and this chef knows how to prepare it perfectly. Have traveled the world and it ends up right here in Oconomowoc we have the best. read more

My friend made a reservation for 4 people at 5:30 PM on a Saturday night. The bar area is super cute, but the restaurant feels sterile. Maybe in the summer when they open the doors it will feel different. It is supposed to be a small plate place. We ordered focacia and oil which was so good. We ordered mushroom ravioli and cheese ravioli which was delicious. We got the peach and Brie flat bread which was horrible- don't order this !! The bolognese was okay. The chicken ceasar salad was normal, nothing spectacular. My biggest problem with this restaurant is the table sizes. The tables are far too small. This is supposed to be a small plate place but there is no room to put anything. With our drinks and plates on the table I felt like I was cramped into an airplane trying to eat. Between the sterile inside feeling and the cramped space, I most likely won't be back. Bill for $220 for 4 people. read more

We sat in the dining room, and the music was so loud, you couldn't carry on a conversation at the table with 4 people. Took 20 minutes to get cocktails, which were awful. Food still was good, but the service was not. I am not sure why the music is blaring during dinner. We will not be going back any time soon. read more

i got the meat platter and it was delicious! Ambience was fun and the service was amazing, I walked in wearing sweats and they were so nice even tho i deserved some attitude, and family owned!! read more

We visited Kavos for our first time last night and it was amazing! Everything from the shrimp, Scallops, chicken, mushroom ravioli, and margarita flatbread were mind blowing with flavor! The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting! I can't wait to get back to try other dishes! Needless to say our leftovers didn't make it to the next day! read more

Such a cute new spot in Ocon. Interior is so cute and modern with a low lit intimate vibe. Food was delicious. Will be attempting to remake the peach and brie flatbread at home. Signature drinks were good, but the martinis were just okay. Service was a little slow, but the place is new so i'll give some grace there :) It was loud so it was hard to have intimate conversation at times. Definitely returning! read more

Cool vibe. Loved the food. Mezze trio was good but not enough pita and veggies. Salad was good but maybe could use some onion. Schwarma, steak sliders, gyro tacos , steak and blue cheese flatbread were excellent. Gluten free friendly. Highly recommend. read more

First time dining and probably the last. The interior has very loud acoustics . The server was uneducated about the menu. She did explain that the food may not come out all at the same time. The price of $30.00 for a small plate of seafood paella would be fine but it wasn't paella, it was risotto. The flavor was good but not great. read more

Fun atmosphere, lots of energy. Tasty options on the menu and good, lower priced wines by the glass.

This one was a pleasant surprise, every dish we tried was excellent! Branzino so flavorful and well done!

Great addition to the Oconomowoc food scene. Peach Brie flat bread is awesome. Cool atmosphere. You'd never know this was a boat dealer.

Food was excellent, such great flavors to all the dishes we tried! Outside seating was wonderful on a beautiful summer night. We will return frequently. read more

What a fantastic new addition to the already great and fun dining establishments in Oconomowoc! I got to meet the owner this past Thursday when we dined and was glad as a city alderman to welcome Llazar and his staff to our city. Our meal and service (Maddie) were outstanding! We were thrilled to see our favorite bartender Justin (formerly at Coco's) employed there now. read more

The ambiance was inviting and the service was good. The rest of our meal left much to be desired. We started with the marinated olives, which were probably just dumped out of the jar. Good flavor but nothing to write home about. The Greek salad was an attempt at the traditional salad of Greece but fell short. It was missing ingredients you would ordinarily find in the traditional preparation, such as: capers, red onions and salt/pepper. The bolognese was very bland with a lack of flavor complexity. Chimichurri sirloin was cooked well and had decent flavor, just needed a bit of seasoning. I really had high hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't deliver the way we had expected and we left disappointed. read more
