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.

    The food and service at Baramor were excellent. Four of us had lunch together on a Saturday in June and the place was pretty empty and quiet, which we appreciated. Maybe a lot of people were out of town because it was the summer. This restaurant gets very good reviews which is why we went. The food was wonderful. BUT the seating choices were poor. The options were either regular chairs at a long table which we would have to share with other people, or tall (bar stool height) chairs at a private table. The chairs were challenging to mount and dismount, and I found that quite annoying. The place is very small so there is not a lot of room for tables. That being said, the food was very good. Among us, we ordered French toast, eggs with home fries, turkey sandwich, and chicken fingers. We received large portions and everything was delicious.
