• Greek • Fort Point Channel
Booked 86 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.

    Food was incredible, service was excellent! The saganaki, tzatziki and cornmeal pie were amazing! Only minor criticism is that the tables are a bit close together. The food is so great though, highly recommended.

    this has become our North End go to. this most recent trip, I tried the fusilli special. It was incredible. We keep going back for the food and service. Table attendants are always oin the lookout to fill water glasses, clear plates, bring bread and parm and offer to go packaging. We have had Catino as our server before. He is familar with us, professional, suggestive and on point. I trust his recommendations and appreciate his hospitality.

    This was my first time at The Red Fox. Good luck finding it. The ambiance of this establishment was amazing. I had bar reservations. The bartender was friendly and made the best drinks on and off of the menu. The pistachio martini was delicious; the martini is offered with or without a scoop of pistachio Gelato. We asked the bartender to make a pretty tequila cocktail and she delivered. The lobster ravioli was so good in the butter sauce. I'm not a fan of risotto, however this was best risotto I've had in a long time. I will definitely return to The Red Fox!
