• Greek • Fort Point Channel

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.

    Food was outstanding and the service terrific. Enjoyed mushrooms, meatballs and cauliflower as appetizers. All were plentiful and delicious. Entrees were outstanding - scampi, short ribs and chicken piccata. Shared cannolis, banana pudding and biscotti for dessert. All were scrumptious. I would highly recommend Novara to others.

    Abby Park is a great restaurant and bar. My husband and I go nearly every week and have probably had everything on the menu as well as some of the specials. Athos, the host, is terrific as are the bartenders. In particular, Cici, Cassidy, and KIm. Ravon is also very good. We are never disappointed and would recommend it highly.

    The food was very good. The ambiance was lovely, quite festive! We wished that we were offered a glass of wine, since drinking a whole bottle would not have been wise since we drove from the Cape.It also would have made the $50 prix fix a little more of a value. I guessed, upon reflection, we could have gotten one from the bar but it wasn't offered? Our visit was slightly tainted because service was a lacking. I said things a couple of times but the server did not take the tIme to understand what I was trying to convey. For example: I asked for greek salad, but he was off and gone before I could ask for dressing on the side. Also, some oil had spilled and I asked if he could wipe it up before setting down dessert but he turned and took the dessert away!?? We did feel rushed, so that took away from the pleasantly if the visit.
