• 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.

    We ate here for my husband’s birthday, also Valentine’s Day. The server, Morgan was great. She even sang Happy birthday to my hubby! My dish was a little spicy but my husband loved his steak and shrimp. I had requested a high top because it’s seems a little quieter. Overall, I highly recommend. Best to reserve in advance.

    The Venetian is our favorite spot to go to. It’s very warm and welcoming and the food continues to be creative and very good. We especially like the pasta dishes as they are homemade with organic flour and the pork chop and steaks never a disappointment.

    We booked a dinner reservation for 2 and were seated soon after arriving. This restaurant is cozy with a lovely vibe! Our seats were comfortable and allowed us plenty of room and it was perfectly regulated for heat as it was a very cold night. We started with drinks and it was clear they take pride in making a delicious and memorable beverage. Our appetizer and main entree was outstanding and the desserts are the perfect ending to a lovely evening out. I would recommend this restaurants to all of my family and friends that enjoy a fine meal.
