Andros Taverna

What Andros Taverna does

Andros Taverna is a single-location contemporary Greek restaurant operating at 2542 N Milwaukee Ave in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, founded in 2021 by Chef Doug Psaltis and pastry chef Hsing Chen as a concept within the Eat Well Hospitality group. The restaurant is built around a wood-fired and live-fire cooking platform (charcoal grill, wood-burning oven, hand-stretched pitas cooked to order), a daily live seafood program with whole Mediterranean fish flown fresh, an in-house whole lamb butchery from Slagel Family Farms, and a 100% Greek wine list of over forty bottles curated by sommelier Elizabeth Terrecina.

Revenue is generated across multiple day-parts and channels. The core service includes weekday lunch (Mon-Fri 11am-4pm), weekday happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6:30pm), dinner seven days a week, and weekend brunch (Sat-Sun 9am-2pm), supported by formal pricing across mezze ($12-$14+), mains ($25-$49), a dedicated kids menu ($15), and a beverage program with cocktails ($8-$17), zero-proof options ($14), beer ($8-$10), and wine by the glass ($70-$135). Off-premise revenue comes from a multi-tier catering program (Style Feast, Spartan Feast, Brunchy Family Style) and online takeout/delivery ordered through the Toast-powered website store and DoorDash. Private event revenue is generated in the main dining room (10-15 guests) and in the glass-enclosed Kipos Greenhouse (30-65 guests), with full restaurant buyouts available.

The customer base spans general diners and food enthusiasts (weekend brunch, dinner, special occasions), weekday lunch and happy hour patrons (working professionals and Logan Square locals), and private events and catering clients (groups of 10-65 guests across private dining and off-premise catering). The go-to-market is event-driven and reputation-based, leaning on MICHELIN Guide and Esquire Best New Restaurant recognition plus chef-driven storytelling on Instagram (@eatatandros), Facebook, and a SevenRooms-powered email newsletter, with reservations funneled through OpenTable and the house website. No external funding, AI/ML capabilities, or expansion beyond the single Chicago location is disclosed.
