With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious. A fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.We're currently serving a Prix Fixe menu for all reservations.

• Greek • Fort Point Channel
Booked 32 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.

    Impressed by this establishment. We wanted fine dining in Boston and we got it. I had the halibut and it was amazing. My husband had a steak, also amazing. My daughter and son were able to slit the heritage chicken and it was plenty. Sides are shareable. My husband’s brown sugar old fashioned was Pinterest worthy. I had an espresso martini x 2 with amazing taste and a frosted glass which kept it cold for the little time that it lasted. Ambiance is elegant. They were well decorated for Christmas. Coat check was a nice surprise. The service was impeccable. We will return.

    Vibrant flavors with unique preparation. Enjoyed the cauliflower app especially. Desserts amazing and worth saving room for the pistachio tiramisu cake and rich chocolate cake. French press coffee a nice touch. Wine choices were disappointment given there are so many nice options from those same grapes/regions. Mezcal margarita was much better! Will be back someday.

    A warm, welcoming atmosphere at Vee Vee is set by a lot of cozy wood, warm colors and art. The warmth continued with our server, who was friendly and gave good advice when asked. As a group of four, we were able to try many dishes, and all were quite tasty. Most were mildly or moderately spicy, none strongly so; all were very flavorful. Personally, I enjoyed the beef birria tacos and the street corn the most. As a dessert lover, I also appreciated having several good choices to share as an end the meal. The beverage menu offered good options for wine, beer and cider. Including our two desserts, we shared 9 dishes among four of us, and left feeling quite sated. I felt the cost of the meal was quite reasonable for the overall high quality of food and drink. The pacing of the meal was just right. We’ll be back!
