Located on Freeport Famous Nautical Mile, Nautilus Cafe offers the finest Fresh Seafood, Large Lobsters and Prime Steaks, served in a nicely appointed dining room with tables covered in white tablecloths. With a beautiful view of Woodcleft Canal we are a spin off of the famous Dar Tiffany and Scotch & Sirloin restaurants.

Unfortunately we are not handicapped accessible.

We've gone to the Nautilus Cafe many times. They recently changed their Tuesday prix fixed menu with new offerings. Food remains wonderful. Service is always attentive. Enjoyed ourselves yet again.

One of the best restaurants, if not THE BEST. Service was exceptional. I had the macadamia crusted St Peters fish. It was cooked perfectly. I love this place!

It was price fix night. I had the prime rib which was tasty but tough. My husband had the 2lb lobster for an extra fee. He said it was a bit dry and not very tasty.

We always enjoy this restaurant, and this time was no exception. Nice bar selection, wonderful salads, fabulous fish and sides. Friendly, prompt service. Moderately priced. Cozy atmosphere overlooking the dock and the water.

I had the cod which was prepared with tomatoes and capers- delicious! My companion enjoyed the filet of sole meunière. We shared our favorite burnt broccoli. Another great meal at this restaurant.
