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.

Very average meal. Baklava muffin was dry and tasteless. Mimosas were room temperature. The lamb dish had good flavor, but also served room temperature. Service less than attentive, which explained the warm drinks/food. I was excited to eat here -had heard great things about their brunch, but it was a miss for me. Won't be going back.

Food was great. Server was nice. My only complaint but honestly it’s a big one was your hostess. There were 3 when we were seated but we were unfortunate and got the one that was terrible. initially she ignored us, then after I told her my name and resy info she said she needed a few minutes. A co hostess came over and drank some coffee while we waited for our hostess to remember we were there. A few minutes later she asked our name again. The restaurant had just opened. Someone else who was very nice sat us but it soured my opinion of the service. Hostesses should be friendly. The only way I have to identify which hostess it was is to say that she was Asian ( there was also a black hostess and a white hostess and they were both pleasant ).

It was a bit too noisy for our liking. I guess we were "older" than others at the restaurant. I didn't like the fact that even though we had reservations that I had made a few weeks back for standard seating, they seated us in the front lounge area which comprised a very low table with a bench and two stools. Basically they palmed us off as they did not have a standard table available at our reservation time. Never sit in the lounge area up front especially facing the front entrance. It was a very cold windy evening and every time the front door opened (which was literally every minute), a blast of cold air came in. And they had a couple of folks standing at the door checking IDs before letting folks in. So they would hold the doors open frequently. NOT a good place to sit at all. The hostess should never have sat us there. But she thought she could "get away with it"! The food was very good! And Alejandro, who waited on us was excellent! The 4 star valuation for service was only because of the hostess. The overall ambiance was OK. The noise level was "loud".

I am a long time Committee frequent. We went for my birthday this time and I made the reservation for our party nearly a month in advance. We were only able to get an 8:30 reservation, which was later than we wanted, but I wanted to celebrate my birthday at committee and we had 10 people so it was a large party! Upon arriving at 8:30, they told us it would be 5 minutes for our table. We moved toward the left side of the door as we were a large party and wanted to keep the doorway clear. We were then reprimanded for standing in and area that was reserved for a private event (which no one was seemingly at) and we had no place else to stand. At 8:50 we had someone come up with a drink menu to tell us that they would serve us a drink if we wanted while we waited. We weren’t sat until 9pm. I understand things happen, so we let it go and started ordering. The food was good, although sad they have taken the infamous feta off the menu. While picking up plates off the table, one of the bus ladies knocked over my friends drink. Again, things happen. However, there was no apology and we asked if she could at least bring us a rag to clean it up. She was very rude about it. The drink was never replaced or taken off the bill. I was extremely disappointed in the service and it was not at all the birthday dinner I had been excited about and waiting for.

Chef Louis, please bring back the sesame encrusted Feta, none of the feta and halloumi options come close to this on the new menu. Customers come to Committee Seaport for that Alone and it’s service. Our server Manuel did a fantastic job keeping our group at the restaurant last night (we almost went across the way to a Spanish tapas place, which is a delicious option as well). My nephew came in from Greenville SC and specially requested to go because of the service and Sesame Encrusted Feta, we are very disappointed that a favorite has been taken off the menu in mid October 2023. Please bring it back, I realize how many people have requested this. To chef Manuel, I understand others have inquired with you, please be open to the idea. One of your best customers, we live local and bring many to this establishment, we spend a lot as well. We know half your staff who have mostly asked for you to put this back on the menu and most feel defeated. With much appreciation, shoes in the city

I come here regularly. It is my favorite restaurant in Boston. Called when I knew I was going to be late three times and nobody picked up. The hostess on duty was incredibly rude and unhelpful - I have never been treated like that/spoken to like that at a restaurant before. Bar staff was also incredibly inconsiderate. They gave my table away within 10 mins and gave us possibly the worst table in the restaurant. Very disappointed- food /our waiter was great as always but night was ruined by bad service from the onset.

Overall we had a very disappointing dining experience. We were a party of six who were getting together for a mini reunion. Two of the diners were kosher so fish and vegetarian options were important. Expectations were not met on many levels. Guests who arrived before me were seated at a shared table instead of at a private table for 6, which was available when they arrived. I was told I had to ask in advance next time. Our reservation was at 7:30 pm. Drink orders were taken, there was no ice tea (which I had ordered but then had to ask about when it didn't come), and then our waiter didn't come back to take our food order until 8:10 pm. The food was decent but not exceptional. Likes were the beet salad, hummus and dips, and lamb. The halibut, while hot, was dried out and appeared to have sat under a heat lamp for too long. They had run out of burrata salad. We did ask to see dessert menus but were told, after waiting for several minutes for our server to come back with menus, that they were out of desserts except for cheesecake. So while the evening worked out fine for our company, I must say I wishing the entire time I had chosen another restaurant.

Loud and portion sizes are definitely not equal. As a "Mediterranean" restaurant, one would expect traditional Mediterranean food. The menu was filled with a hodgepodge of random foods I'd never heard of. And I'm Greek... Avocado Tzatziki??? Also, the portion sizes are wildly different. We ordered the octopus, crab, swordfish, and lamb from the "Main course" menu and were expecting them to be all the same size. What we got was 4 different sizes. The swordfish was an appropriate amount, the octopus and crab were more like an appetizer (even smaller than an appetizer), and the lamb with fries was this gigantic portion served on a cutting board. Definitely need to calibrate on what constitutes a "main course" portion. The food was fine. The lamb came with a butterknife to cut with, so that was cool... Also, the environment is very loud, to the point where you can't even hear anyone. It's not due to the amount of people, but the volume of the music in there. It's like being at Coachella. Overall, skip this place.

Meatball and cauliflower apps were delicious. Main dishes were ok. The lamb chops were flavored well but very fatty and it was sent with the wrong sauce. It was supposed to come with red chimichurri but they gave me yogurt by mistake. I had them correct the sauce. The pork Milanese, was ok, a bit plain. We never received our 2 side dishes. With all the mistakes, I thought the staff could have been more apologetic. Fun atmosphere.

Committee was recommended to me by a friend, and I was very excited to try it. When we arrived it took a very long time to get our drinks, and when mine arrived, it was not what I ordered. I ordered a specific kind of scotch and they brought me something very different. Our server was nowhere to be found so I went to speak to the bartender, and he explained that they were out of what I asked for so they just gave me whatever they could to “put something on the table”. This was totally unacceptable and unethical. After that we did not see our server again and had to track him down for the bill. They also charged us for the original Scotch I had asked for when again, that wasn’t what I received and the one I ordered was a much higher priced item. Will never go back.

The food was enjoyable, but our meals weren't brought close in time to one another, which negatively impacted the dining experience. My mom and I had our food served, while my siblings waited for their food. Then, over 20 min later, after we finished our food and asked the server multiple times, my siblings' food was finally brought out.
