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.

I was our first time at The Nautilus and it did not disappoint. Really good food. Different but we definitely go back.

Hands down, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Delicious.
Great seat at bar to see all the chef action. Food is Soild, cauliflower salad was a stand out said modify ever but yes memorable! Scallops Soild, dumplings and calamari a must. Not so favorites from the group was lettuce wrap and a few items on the salt side (halibut sauce, fried chicken and beef short rib). Would go back. Peking duck delicious but not true Peking duck.

Came here for the first time with a friend who’s been many times. Ambiance is amazing. The bar area is very cool and the bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. Menu options are fantastic, wanted to try everything, and the portions are pretty generous for a higher end restaurant. We shared 4 dishes and it was the perfect amount of food for us (2 veggie and 2 main dishes). We got the green beans, a special foraged mushroom dish not on the menu, dan dan noodles, and the himachi crudo. Everything was great except for the himachi. Honestly it tasted pretty fishy and I expected better from an upscale Seaport restaurant. I get himachi all the time and it’s very mild. This was so fishy we didn’t even finish it. Dessert was the best part though! A choux au craquelin with banana mousse and some chocolate bits on top. Not too sweet and the perfect ending. I’d definitely come back here, would just probably stick to meat dishes and not get any fish.

Loved every minute of my experience. Great vibes for a date, dinner w/friends, or to rent space for a party. We sat indoors on a fall night with family and everyone was happy (would love to go back for lunch and sit outdoors by the water). Plates are easy to share which is great because I wanted to try everything! Each dish stood on its own, while complementing one another as well. We ordered the cauliflower salad, halibut, scallops, drunken noodles, shrimp, pork buns, green beans, tuna poke, oyster tacos and crudo. So happy my first visit to Nautilus was with a handful of adults, so I had the opportunity to try a large variety of dishes from the menu. Five stars for sure! Excited to go back! P.s. the sesame soft serve w/butterscotch crunchies was the perfect ending to the meal. And, check out the wallpaper in the bathrooms… 🐙 🧜♀️ 🐠 P.s.s. Very attentive to shellfish allergies w/a special menu. P.s.s.s. Extensive wine/sake list and cocktails and mocktails.

Enjoyed the Peking duck, shrimp and pork dumplings and the oyster tacos. The starters are are a bit challenging to share for a party of three because there are 5 in each serving. The best solution is to order two orders but of course this gets expensive. The Peking duck is very large and it would have been nice if julienne cucumbers were served with it to add texture and flavor. I dined early and it was very quiet. It was a bit annoying that the staff was going to seat my party in a less ideal area of the restaurant away from the windows and near the kitchen. Fortunately my request for a different table was accommodated.
