Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Stephen Marcaurelle

From the OpenTable editors: You’ll find globally-inspired, seafood-forward mashups, an award-winning wine program, and sweeping waterfront views at Nautilus Pier 4, the Nantucket destination’s Boston sibling. Grab a seat in the glam dining room decked with nautically themed murals or on the greenery-strewn patio and dig into shareable crowd favorites like blue crab fried rice and a Peking-inspired whole roasted duck, and you won’t be disappointed.

The food and drinks are amazing here. Highlights include the blue crab fried rice and bbq short ribs. I have a gluten allergy and they have so many options and modifications with a full allergy menu available.

The food was all very interesting and delicious. I enjoyed the asian twist on classic seafood dishes like the calamari. The halibut was incredible, probably my favorite thing I tried. The ambience was very pleasant, and I liked the location being on the water. Had a very friendly and helpful server as well. Would definitely come back.

Food was excellent as always. Service was terrible. For an upscale dining experience we would expect our server to treat us as if it matters we are there and not with mild annoyance and hardly checking in with us. It was also disappointing because we had guests visiting from out of town and chose Nautilus for a great all-around dining experience and that’s not what happened. It’s one of our favorite restaurants in Boston but we will be hesitant to return after this experience.
