8. Committee

Exceptional(2502)

$$$$Price: Expensive

• Mediterranean • Seaport

Booked 105 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.

Our evening started with a mistaken booking at outdoor seating which we hadn’t recognized- although the restaurant was quite full the manager was able to find a three top table inside which was wonderful- we then had an absolutely marvelous meal- each piece of sushi was a piece of art. Our New York City son who was dining with us and had just come back from Tokyo said the food was superb- from the inventive salads, the sushi, the wagyu beef dumplings, and several lovely desserts. The staff was very schooled in explanation and very kind and unobtrusive- a wonderful meal- thank you all- we certainly will be back
