    Numerous dishes are pre-cooked and served from chafing dishes.

    This is a welcome addition to the Dedham restaurant scene. This new Mediterranean is a hybrid dine in/take out, in which there is seating for 28, but no table service. However, one can reserve a table in advance, or come without a reservation, order at the front, and the staff will bring your food to your table. If you want a cup of water with your meal (and don't want to buy bottled water or other drinks), you need to ask for and the staff is happy to oblige. What I liked: Modern buildout, clean, and attractive environment. Music was a little loud but that's a personal preference issue. The pita was nice and thick and warmed. My vegan partner enjoyed her veggie wrap. The Gyro plate was also warmly received by a fellow foodie. Portion sizes were generous. What I didn't like: Mezo over-grills its Lamb/Beef Gyro to the point of "crunchy", and also fills the Gyro with french fries. I'd prefer they lower the price form $16 to $13, jettison the fries (or offer it as an option), and don't grill the meat - it should already be fully cooked and seasoned on its "spit" (vertical rotisserie). When asked, the owner explained "that's the way they do it where I come from" (the Patras region of NW Greece), and he added that this method helped avoid Salmonella (this might make sense for the chicken). Seems like a growing trend among fast-casual joints - is to overcook the meat (Shake Shack, 5-Guys, Smash Burger, etc). I for one, don't prefer my rotisserie lamb "crunchy." It also seems the menu has a big hole in it: no grilled octopus. A number of popular items are precooked and served from chafing dishes (ie, Moussaka, etc.) There appeared to be only 1 cook and on a busy Saturday evening, our order took about 25 minutes to complete. I couldn't find a company website although they have a presence on Instagram and other social media sites. The prices on Grubhub seem to be different (& higher) compared to the in-store menu, which I found to be high to start with. In sum, very nice environment for a fast casual, decent if not spectacular food, good portion sizes, expensive, friendly service, and over-grilled Gyro meat with French fries hidden inside the Gyro pita sandwich.

    Stopped by for lunch today and tried this new spot in Dedham. It's an upscale, casual restaurant where you order at corner but they bring the food out to you. They have beer and wine as well for date nights. They cook the meats fresh and the sides are warm and ready. The food was very good and flavorful and portion sizes were good. The lamb and beef plate was delicious. It is a little on the pricier side since both these meals came to $50 with a small tip. The place is designed well inside.

    The Feisty Greek - Authentic Pork Gyro Combo with Stuffed Grape Leaves

    The Feisty Greek

    I stumbled in here while my Rivian was in for service nearby, looking for a quick lunch, and I'm…read moreglad I did. I ordered the Authentic Pork Gyro combo, which comes with a side and a drink. I went with the grape leaves as my side and grabbed a Smartwater. Simple and a solid value. Let's start with the pita, because I'm a texture nut and this thing was perfect, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The gyro itself was packed, literally spilling out with filling, and was super flavorful. I'll admit I went in expecting the typical lamb/beef, so the pork caught me off guard. Turns out after doing some reading on the inter-webs, pork is actually the authentic Greek preparation and the lamb/beef is the more Turkish/American take on it. Either way, one bite and I was a convert. The grape leaves were everything you want them to be; briny, punchy, and packed with filling. No complaints there. As for the ambiance, another reviewer put it best: "I wouldn't take my first date here." Fair enough. But for a quick, no-fuss lunch? It was perfect. Between 12 and 1 this place was absolutely jamming, with barely a seat to spare, which should tell you something. Not to mention I heard the staff greet many people by name. I'll be back, and next time I'm bringing my partner. She loves Greek food and this place deserves a proper visit.

We both got their chicken gyro and it was fully loaded! The chicken was nicely seasoned, i like the added fries, the pita was very fresh, and that tzatziki was just top tier. i wish i would have tried more because i really impressed!

    Currently closed till 7/2024 according to Yelp…read more But late 2022, we finally got the chance to try Fairouz's $43 Mixed Grill Plate (chicken, beef, shrimp (4 count), lamb, kafta (ground beef and lamb), served with rice, salad (simply lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, and two portions of oil based dressing), garlic dip & hummus dip), to go. Everything came well packed, with the salad in a large plastic clam shell, two little sauce containers of each dip, two ziplock baggies of pita triangles, napkins, plastic ware, all sitting on the aluminum foil covered tray of meat and rice. Since I had been enticed by Bea's photo of this dish, I was a little disappointed at the lack of grilled vegetables. But there was salad and upon reflection, the menu made no mention of such veggies, so perhaps there's been changes over time? The rice received props from this household, and wonder at how it was flavored. The meat, though medium to well done, was tender enough, and the lamb lacked that gaminess that the non-lamb-eater among us so dislikes. The kafta and shrimp were the most strongly seasoned proteins of the bunch, and the shrimp rather juicy. Both hummus and garlic dip were good, but the garlic is indeed strong with the latter, so spread with a light hand. You can always add more to taste after all. The worst that could be said was that I wished that there had been more tomatoes in the salad, and if only they had not split the pita triangles. Pitas without their pockets are rather tougher to enjoy as self made mini sandwich bundles of all the good flavors and textures. I hope they see this and reconsider.

    My friend and I came here for a Thursday night dinner! It does kind of have a more post-work…read moreHH/company dinner feel, but we still enjoyed our time! We ordered the dip trio, the spanakopita, the feta 2.0, the scallops, and the gnocchi moussaka. The feta 2.0 was an absolute hit (got too excited so forgot to take a picture). The feta was soft and creamy, wrapped in fried phyllo, and soaked in honey. So unbelievably delicious. The spanakopita was also a favorite for us--it was served on a bed of tzatziki and was perfectly seasoned. The dip trio was generally delicious, but the butternut squash hummus was a bit underwhelming. The scallops were tasty, but perhaps a bit overcooked. I did really enjoyed our the gnocchi moussaka but it is a bit salty. Service was quick and our server made sure to check in with us multiple times throughout the night. It definitely felt like a more loud and lively environment. A great option in Seaport that I will keep on my list!

    Super Bowl weekend in the Seaport has a certain hum to it. Not chaotic. Not frantic. Just alive…read more Committee was vibing. We had a 6:30 reservation on Saturday night, table for four, friends in town for the game the next day. The room was full, the bar glowing in the background, conversations layered over music that felt present but not overpowering. It felt like a place that knows it's a hot spot and moves with that rhythm comfortably. Our table sat toward the front near the windows, clearly in the dining zone. The reservation mattered. We felt placed, not squeezed in. The staff moved like they were ready for the crowd, not reacting to it. We opened with cocktails. I kept it simple, a whiskey ginger. The first one came out wrong. I mentioned it casually, and our waiter handled it exactly how you hope a good restaurant does, no drama, no awkward pause, just "of course" and a fresh one in front of me quickly. Smooth, professional, easy. We started light with the marinated olives. Nothing flashy, just quality Peloponnese olives dressed with orange zest and champagne vinaigrette. The citrus was subtle, more of a soft sweetness than a statement. The vinaigrette coated them nicely without drowning them. Not a must-order, but a quiet signal that the kitchen cares about ingredients. If you love olives, you'll appreciate them. If you skip them, you won't feel like you missed the night. Then came the zucchini crisps, which for me are the cornerstone of any serious Greek restaurant. You can tell a lot from how a kitchen handles something that simple. These passed. They arrived stacked high, golden, crisp enough that you could hear the crunch. Not greasy, not limp, not overly thick. We came hungry, and they didn't last long. What makes or breaks a zucchini chip is the sauce, and here it was the harissa lemon aioli. It gave the dish its defining personality. A little heat, a little brightness, enough depth to keep you going back for another one. We demolished them. That tells you everything. The roasted carrots followed, and they did exactly what a great vegetable dish should do. Honey gave them a gentle sweetness that paired well with the pistachio dukkah. The carrots themselves carried that earthy backbone that holds everything together. Most importantly, they were cooked right. Tender enough to cut easily, but still with a slight bite. No mush. Just clean execution and thoughtful seasoning. By the time the scallops hit the table, the kitchen had earned our trust. They were beautifully done, properly seared with a golden edge and tender inside. The parsnip and pear puree felt inventive but grounded, adding depth without pushing the dish too sweet. The pomegranate kept it bright. Yes, they are expensive. But quality in the Seaport costs what it costs, and these felt worth it. The octopus was the star of the night. I've only recently come around to octopus after having it done well at a few great spots around Boston. When it's right, it hits that perfect middle ground. It has the tenderness of a well-cooked piece of meat, but carries that clean saltwater backbone from the sea. Not fishy. Not delicate like salmon. More like a piece of chicken from the ocean, firm, clean, satisfying. Committee nailed it. There was real char. The kind that seals in flavor and gives you that grilled depth. It had bite without resistance, tender without falling apart. The 'nduja ragu and marble potatoes grounded it without overpowering. It felt composed but not overworked. If you're ordering one dish here, this is the one. And then the lamb. Sometimes you just want a piece of meat done right. No theatrics. No overthinking. These were beautifully done. Full bone-in chops, about twelve ounces each. We ordered four total for the table because we knew everyone would want a piece, and that instinct was correct. You could tear through a whole rack if you let yourself. Juicy, rich, not aggressively gamey, just clean and satisfying. The Greek whipped potatoes were smooth and comforting, the salsa verde sharp and classic, cutting through the richness exactly how it should. At $29, it's not cheap. But when lamb is this good, price stops being part of the conversation. Committee isn't trying to be quiet. It's lively. It's confident. It knows it's a scene. But behind the energy is a kitchen that understands balance, texture, and how to execute Mediterranean staples without overcomplicating them. On a weekend built around a game, this felt like a win.
