Andros Tavern is in an attractive space with a large bar, it is so noisy that you cannot even hear the server. The bar service was great but otherwise the service was mediocre... including hustling us off of our table! The wine list is all Greek wines which are overpriced for their quality. The mezzo course was solid but the skate wing was swimming in a rich butter/oil which rendered it almost unedible. The lamb course was not great either. Another person had octopus (their specialty) and she couldn't eat it. Courses were huge and could have been shared. The waitress didn't really explain that. I would not go back or recommend this restaurant.

Great place for a birthday celebration brunch! Amazing food and service. I love the cool space as well. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I am still craving the octopus dish I had. YUM!

I ordered chicken kalamaki & lemon potatoes. I am picky eater and I was pleasantly surprised how amazing both items were. Tender juice chicken and garlicky lemon potatoes, mmmmm!!!! Ordered take out, but the restaurant was packed! I really loved the ambiance. I’m looking forward to dining in!

The best Greek restaurant I’ve been to in 10 years. The people and atmosphere were amazing only outdone by the fantastic food. Highly recommend!
From the greeting by the host, table selection, our waiters, food selections and perfect timing of the food arrivals, it was all fantastic. We have dined at Andros before and will definitely be returning in the future.

Great breakfast and I'll certainly be back for dinner. I usually do this the other way around, if the dinner is great I'll eventually try their brunch. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was as incredible as it could be w our local ingredients and that's not a bad thing it's just the only way it could be better is if we were in Greece.

There are a lot of things to like about Andros Taverna. Their customer service is not one of them. On two different occasions I was told they were holding a certain table and we couldn't be seated there, only to have the table sit unused the entire time I was there. Not only for an hour, for nearly two hours. Last night I arrived ahead of the rest of my party. There were maybe 5 tables seated. They wouldn't seat me until at least two people were there and I had to wait 20 minutes. I could see if the restaurant was busy, but there was NO ONE there. And then, after making me stand and wait, our waitress was clearly trying to rush us through our meal. It makes the positive aspects about the restaurant (mostly the food) not worth it, especially for the price you pay (about $100 a person).

Came here for brunch and we all enjoyed our time. A friend of mine got the cappuccino freddo, which she enjoyed and looked incredible. The food overall was decent. Not extraordinary, but I think agreeable food for a wide range of people. The French toast was a little flat in flavor, I think it could be sweeter and richer. The baklava bear claw was pretty great and the sourdough with honey butter was also tasty. Both I’d recommend. The cheesy egg in pita was exactly as you’d expect, and I enjoyed, but nothing that rocked my world. The interior and staff were both lovely. I’ll probably be back some time to try some other items, especially the halva date shake which had my eye.

Excellent food and topnotch service, especially from Alejandra and Eric!! Thank you Andros Taverna for a superb birthday dinner!! My new favorite restaurant in Chicago??
12% surcharge. They did not put it on the menu or online. In fact, they tried to take payment without showing me the receipt. When I asked for a receipt, they only showed me the list of charges on a handheld tablet. When I saw the charge, I spoke with the manager and said that the practice was deceptive, scummy, and likely illegal. I had to pay it though and they only provided a short form receipt.
We live near Greek town and we come to Andros for decent Greek food.

Fantastic dinner! First time there, but really enjoyed it. Food and drink were excellent, and while it was loud, it made for a fun ambience. Look forward to going back with a bigger group!

Absolutely love this restaurant! It is the spot I crave for their delicious pita (best ever) with a trio of spreads, cheese pie which is so savory and sweet. We also enjoyed the cocktails, fish (deboned at the table and lemon chicken. And icing on the cake was the exceptionally good service. Can't wait to go back again and again.
