Food was overly salty. The environment is also very noisy and hard to hear anyone across the table.

Kenneth

Pathetic Extreme chaotic flavors Covered the taste of seafood with whacky clashing fusion blah Small size serving at very high prices Nothing special; just weird. You will leave feeling hungry and ripped off Guarantee it is OOB in two years 😔 ... service was good

Tyler

Outstanding experience. Wasn't sure what to expect out of a Seafood/Asian-fusion restaurant, but the food was excellent. Our table got a wide variety of items across the land, sea, and garden menus and all were hits. Highly recommend the short ribs, green beans, and prawns, but you can't go wrong. Attentive wait staff as well!

Probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. We ordered the Korean-style ribs and they were overcooked—burnt/charred and incredibly salty. The blue crab rice barely had any crab meat, didn't taste like crab, and honestly gave off more of a fish/tilapia-like flavor. The calamari was also overly salty. The pork buns were overloaded with too many ingredients and just didn't taste good overall. On OpenTable, the photos made the place look much nicer than it actually was. In person, the lighting was very dark, and even though the restaurant was almost empty, we were seated right by the door. The description and pictures felt misleading and gave a false impression of what to expect. Service was also disappointing. Our server, Alexa O., barely checked on us, and we constantly needed more water—especially because the food was so salty it felt like they were overcompensating with salt in every dish. To top it off, we ordered 4 menu items, no drinks, and the bill was $142. What a joke. It was a dinner for 2, way too expensive for the quality of food and experience.

Amazing. The waiter did spill Drinks on us and should have given us a discount but other than that Amazing.

We found the food ok, not as good as before. We were looking forward to it and disappointed.

Great experience - food was fun to share and provided a great space for our client dinner.

Huge fans of the Nautilus on Nantucket and since they are closed for a few weeks, we got our fix in Boston. Great staff, great food and excellent vibe

I booked this for a fancy post engagement celebration and while I’m thrilled to have a fiancee the rest is a disappointment. The bill was $350, I’m a normal person so I would expect that to come with a bit of a wow factor. The service was slow 20 minutes to have drinks on the table and we ordered a bottle of prosecco so no fancy mixing required. The food came out slow, everything fine but doused in unnecessary sauce to distract from the mid quality and mark up. Basic fusion simple ingredients but thanks to chat gpt they sound reconstructed. We both got home feeling sick and took pepto but too soon to report more. They took my card with the reservation and made their $50 cancel fee known along with their strict limit of 90 minutes per reservation but at 105 minutes we still didn’t have all the food we had ordered. The server never checked on us, only at the end when I had to flag him down for the bill and a box. He asked if it was our fist time and if we loved everything in a way that left no room to answer and whished us a happy anniversary even though I clearly made a reservation saving we were celebrating an engagement. The bar was full of seaport bros blocking the way to the bathroom. You’re paying for their rent not a premium dining experience. Save your money and order Panda Express and look at a view of a puddle.

We loved every dish we had, but a special love for the cauliflower salad and the beef takaki salad

Food was fabulous and service outstanding! Special shoutout to the chefs and our waiter, Hunter who was so professional and added to our fun night at Nautilus!

Very small portions for price on several of the shareables. Most bites we had were delicious though. Wish we had tried the Peking duck.

Was eating here around Halloween and was horrified to see a “decoration” that was quite literally a bloody teepee. No one should be glorifying or depicting the genocide of Indigenous peoples through a Halloween decoration or any other manner. This is not cute, funny, or creative — it’s violent, shameful, and deeply disturbing. My group was shocked and unsettled, and we wished we had chosen another restaurant to spend (a lot of) money at. I won’t be eating here again and will warn friends to stay away. Hope this business reckons with the real harm here — perhaps they could put out a public apology, self-educate on Native history, and start supporting and uplifting Indigenous nations and organizations.
