I come into a restaurant that's almost empty and they seat us by the door on a windy day. Then as the one other table leaves the half of the restaurant my party was located we ordered drinks and they took almost 20 minutes to arrive! The server said it was because one of the drinks was a hot drink, it uses one shot is espresso that doesn't take 20 minutes. The server also proceeded to tell us, opposed to what the menu says dishes are not made to share each guest will need to get a couple to be satisfied. Blatant false advertising on the menu. Then to top it all we wanted to order one more food item because the server told us everything comes out pretty fast, we ordered the duck. Expecting the server to be wrong and this one will take some time. Would really have appreciated a warning that we would be waiting for over an hour for this dish. After 30 minutes we finally saw our server, we had to flag him down to get the check and ask for it to go, and were waiting another 30 minutes to finally get their “signature dish”. I am so upset by this experience I would not recommend going on a busy night if this is what a slow night looks like!

We love Nautilus. Have been a number of times and the food/drinks/service never disappoint. We this weekend for my husband's birthday/Valentine's Day and as usual the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the charred octopus for those who like octopus. Highly recommend. (And recommend the Nantucket location as well!) 😁

We were seated very close to the neighboring table—so close that it felt uncomfortable to get up without encroaching on their space. The restaurant was extremely crowded, which made the overall experience less enjoyable than our previous visits. Unfortunately, my noodle dish was served cold as well. We typically love coming here and have had great experiences in the past, but we'll likely avoid visiting on Valentine's weekend in the future.

The food is not to be out done and the wine selection is right on pare with the food. We sat at the bar and were very happy even though the noise level was high. Others may find it too noisy. We were served the wrong wine and one of our small plates was wrong but the bartender and servers could not have been nicer about it. And we were not charged - it was a win for us as the wine we got to sample was extremely good. 👏 All in it was a very fun experience just an “off” night for some of the staff.
Sophia
We had a delicious meal, great food wonderful service. Our server Felicia made the experience amazing and the sommelier Brandon was very passionate and knowledgeable!
Grace
Amazing food and quick service! Our drinks did come out after most of our food was out but everything tasted amazing 💞
Laura
Strong menu of options, good portion sizes, excellent dishes! Service was exceptional. Tables close together, a bit loud, but cool vibe overall!
Joseph
We really loved it here. The food was great, service was great, and they were very accommodating for our party of 7.
Diana
Always the best small plates in Boston. Every dish was mouth watering. Great service and our hostess was excellent in finding us seats away from entry and heavy traffic. The food was good we talked about ordering more to take home for the snow storm.
Mark
One of the best, if not the best, restaurant in Boston. Small plates, outstanding food, variety of flavors and taste experiences. Highly highly recommended!
Amazing! We went to the one in Nantucket and had to try this location. You will be seeing more of us!! Our server was awesome, knowledgeable and attentive
Olivia
The food was delicious! We went for NYE with a group of 8 and everyone found something they loved.
Terence
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!
