• 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.

    When we called to move up our reservation due to the weather, they did not hesitate to look for an alternative time. Our waitress was so nice and helpful when we had questions! Highly recommend the tuna tartare as well as the salmon!

    Fabulous food - the Branzino was just so delicate and tasty. Big portions. Chocolate chip cookie was the best dessert! Also the cocktails were nicely done and the service was absolutely amazing, 5 stars all the way.

    We had an amazing dinner for our anniversary. I forget our server's name (possibly George or something that starts with a J?) but he truly loved what he did and it showed. We split the Vlach Giorti and enjoyed every option on the platter. Definitely make a reservation and expect a possible delay just incase
