BOSTON – Committee Restaurant Celebrates 10 Years with New Chef and Redesign
Committee, a renowned Greek and Mediterranean dining destination in Boston’s Seaport, marks its 10th anniversary this year with the introduction of a new Executive Chef and a complete redesign of its interior and outdoor spaces. This milestone is celebrated as an opportunity to refresh the restaurant, which has become an integral part of Boston’s culinary landscape since opening its doors in June 2015.
Chef Sebastian Zuluaga has been named as the new Executive Chef at Committee. With a substantive background in the restaurant industry, Chef Zuluaga previously honed his skills as the Executive Chef at Saltie Girl and has spent eight years working within the Sidell Restaurant Group. His experience encompasses notable roles at MET Back Bay and Stephanie’s on Newbury.
Enhanced Dining Experience
The extensive redesign coinciding with the anniversary includes significant updates to both indoor and outdoor dining areas. The restaurant has been reconfigured to feature a reimagined front dining area that now accommodates a total of 172 indoor guests with more tables and new banquettes. The outdoor patio has also received an upgrade, now providing 68 seats with flexible seating arrangements suitable for both intimate gatherings and larger groups.
To enhance the aesthetic appeal of these spaces, a stunning new mural by local artist Marcus Sebastiano adorns the walls, showcasing peaceful blue and green tones. Additionally, the outdoor area now boasts new couches, elegant lighting, and verdant additions courtesy of Rouvalis Flowers, creating a welcoming atmosphere for diners.
Revamped Menu
The new menu designed under Chef Zuluaga features a blend of familiar favorites alongside creative new dishes, providing a varied culinary experience for guests. This refreshing take aims to elevate the dining experience that Committee has been known for, particularly its celebrated shared plates and cocktail offerings.
Future Developments in the Seaport
In addition to Committee’s anniversary activities, the Seaport district is seeing further expansion in its dining options. A new taco establishment, Tacos El Chikis, is expected to open later this spring, offering Lebanese-inspired tacos featuring unique items such as lamb al pastor and crispy pork belly. The area is also set to welcome Nowon, a Korean gastropub, and Bertucci’s Pronto, which will operate as a fast-casual pizza concept.
The bustling food scene in Boston’s Seaport further underscores its dynamic growth, with events like Boston Calling’s upcoming music festival showcasing a modern array of food and drink featuring various local offerings. These developments reflect a vibrant community committed to culinary innovation and enhanced dining experiences.
As Committee embarks on this new chapter with its refreshed chef and redesigned spaces, the restaurant looks to reinforce its position as a premier dining destination with a continued focus on quality and creativity in its menu offerings.
