• Greek • Fort Point Channel
Booked 88 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.

    Amazing service on busy Valentine's Day! Our server paced our orders perfectly. Excellent cocktails. Lovely Caesar salad and shrimp scampi for starters. Our server checked on us often and bus staff were on top of clearing at just the right time. Tables are very small and crowd easily! Barely any elbow room. ( Our only nit pick) Delicious boar ragu over parpadelle and a likewise veal/ braised beef stuffed pasta were al dente and beautifully presented. Huge wine list. We split a pistachio semifreddo- we were stuffed and happy!

    Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

    We were seated at a very nice table in the back part of the restaurant with a picturesque view of the pier. Our waitress was attentive, timely and professional and recommended a great wine to compliment our meal. Our cocktails were amazing and our food was outstanding. Each bite from apps to main course to dessert was an experience. Loved it! I’ve been to the Ocean Prime in Philly and in Denver, this was my favorite so far. Wife and I will be back.
