Exceptional(2497)
Price: Expensive
• Mediterranean • Seaport

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.

"FRESH FROM THE FARM AND HONEST TO GOODNESS HOME COOKING"Henrietta’s Table opened its doors to a diverse and adoring public 20 years ago. In that time the restaurant has come to be the dining room of Nobel laureates, celebrities and New England Farmers. The Charles Hotel’s Executive Chef, Sean Lizotte, helms Henrietta’s Table and has designed a menu of "honest to goodness New England cooking."Henrietta's Table has been at the forefront of farm-to-table dining since before it was a trend or a hashtag. Located in the heart of Harvard Square, you don't need a degree to appreciate our simple, homemade flavors - just like you'd find in Grandma's kitchen. The Ritz cracker crusted scrod, Yankee pot roast and warm grain bowl are some of our guests' favorite dishes. Our menus rotate daily based on availability from our local farmers and artisans, pushing our chefs to constantly create mouthwatering dishes that let the ingredients shine.

    Great spot. Food is excellent! Gets a bit “clubby” later so probably best to eat dinner on the earlier side.

    To preface, this is my third tea room that I have been to in Boston. I have been to Trifecta, the BPL, and also Jolie Tea Company in Salem, MA. From previewing pictures, I was not very impressed with the Rowes Wharf as the table setting and food looked a little lackluster compared to the other experiences I mentioned. However, now having been, I can absolutely understand why this is rated the best afternoon tea in the city- the food is DELICIOUS. I think my favorite out of all my tea experiences so far. Service was also very good and the noise level was very low when we went (2:30 on a Sunday). Ambiance was nice on the water and there is easy access outside to walk around after. I did think the tea selection was limited, however the server was excellent at describing each one and our entire party of 5 each liked our teas.
