The food and drinks were delicious. The waitress was friendly and helpful but seemed busy, so finding the same waitress when we wanted to add to our order was hard. Overall, it was delicious, and we enjoyed it as a family, so we'll come again.

Great experience! I've been to Nautilus on Nantucket, and the Pier 4 location definitely lived up to expectations! Tuna poke, pork belly buns, Jonah crab special, and lettuce wraps were all fantastic! Perfectly made negroni, and the ACK Nauti was delicious. Service was present but not overbearing which is always appreciated. Lively crowd by the bars, and dining room was decently filled. 10/10 thank you for a great dinner! I truly forget our server's name (and didn't bring home the receipt to check), but she was fantastic!

Taberna has been up and down over the years but whatever was causing the inconsistencies is no longer present.. The food is great, the service attentive and helpful, and Sangria is back (though not by the carafe sadly). It has none of the date night craziness that Barcelona has, the ambience is great. Couldn't one happier!
