Our server, Eve, was phenomenal! We dined there tonight with a party of 10 which included 4 kids. Eve was on top of everything! The food was yummy and came out fast. I highly recommend Nautilus based on variety of food options, yummy drinks and excellent service!

Had an amazing time! Between the great food, amazing server (Claire) and the live music! It was just what I needed on a Friday night!!!

Solid easy menu, little bit for everyone and a solid price point. Got the fish sandwich and it hit the spot, best fish sandwich I’ve had in a while. Light crispy breading and wasn’t drenched in oil, slaw and jalapeno tarter helped out. Good beer selection, as well. Would definitely come back come back for a pint or two and some solid bar food.
