Nautilus Cafe consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience with "excellent food and service." Known for its prime rib and seafood, including the "2 lb lobster" and swordfish, it offers "great deals," especially during prix fixe nights.

    Lovely dinner with friends. The prime rib was perfectly prepared. The cod was excellent. The restaurant is somewhat dated but the food is spot on. The service was excellent. Thanks Nautilus.
