Exceptional(2443)

Price: Moderate

• Greek • Fort Point Channel

Booked 67 times today

Committee draws inspiration from the modern day “ouzeri,” a casual meeting spot that can be found throughout Greece. It’s the kind of welcoming place where people get together to talk, relax, and bond over a fresh-made meal. Greeks know that delicious food sets the stage for a great meeting—whether you’re discussing a business deal or simply catching up with old friends. Committee, conceived by a Greek chef, embraces this tradition. Committee veers from the expected by designing its menu around “Meze”—a culinary concept that encourages people to sample and share. Our creative chefs prepare small sharable plates that are brought to the table throughout the meal, allowing diners to experience a wide range of dishes featuring only the freshest local ingredients. If unforgettable food, a fun crowd, and an electric urban scene are on your agenda, the consensus is Committee.

I've eaten here many many times and it remains my favorite restaurant in Boston. Food is just spectacular and service is casually impeccable. We had such a lovely dinner, particularly the three in our party who had never been before. Have the tuna crudo from the raw bar menu--relatively simple but as good a dish as I've ever had.
