We had a reservation at 6pm as we were going to the Opera House show. We were ignored by staff for awhile standing by the door. When finally seated, were ignored to place our order. We finally got a drink and couldn't place our order until 6:36. At 7:05 asking our waitress about our food, the owner rudely interrupted having the waitress take care of someone else. She went to the kitchen, came back to say, there were still 4 tickets in front of ours. We did not order anything fancy or time consuming. Before we could finish our drink and leave, she came back, snapping at us rudely for some unknown reason telling us she pays the light bill? Our party of four will never step in there again. I have never encountered such nastiness from a business owner.

I wish I had taken a picture of the prime rib - it looked like it had been boiled. Hardly any flavor. The meat had not been seared, no crust. All you could taste was a strange spice…reminded me a little of garam masala. They have no steak knives, so I had to cut the meat with a butter knife. Which would have been fine if I didn’t have to saw back and forth, shaking the whole table and risking the plate sliding across said table. $44 is a ridiculous price to pay for a boiled piece of prime rib. We went ahead and got a piece of carrot cake to share. It appeared to be homemade in a 9x13 pan - this was definitely a box cake with spiced cream cheese frosting. If I’m paying $8 for a piece of carrot cake, it should taste better than a spice cake from a Jiffy box. So disappointed in our choice of restaurants…I think Mulligan’s next door would have been a better choice.

Had a great experience at the Nauti Inn! Our waitress, Ruth, was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made the experience awesome. The food was delicious; we loved the fish tacos and the bruschetta. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

Loved the outside downtown atmosphere. We had the flat iron steak and cob salad with shrimp. Share that with my fiancée and what a wonderful dinner.

The wait staff here is always friendly and very efficient, making every visit a pleasure. The food is absolutely delicious, and they serve some of the best salads around. If you’re in the mood for a specialty cocktail, this is definitely the place to go. Their Wednesday music nights are a highlight of the week and truly the best in town. I highly recommend this fine establishment for great food, great drinks, and great atmosphere!

Atmosphere & Service, with a burnt flavor – The staff are friendly and attentive, but the two tables we were assigned wobble like a seesaw. It made trying to enjoy the meal a bit of a balancing act.
Food – The burger itself was decent, yet the chips arrived burnt, leaving a lingering char that overpowered everything else. The side pickles were wilted and overly vinegary—nothing special.
Entertainment – The owner likes to break into song during service. Unfortunately, he drops a flat note every few lines, turning what could be a quirky touch into a mildly distracting backdrop.
Bottom line – Good service, but the wobbly tables, burnt sides, and off‑key serenades keep this spot from earning a recommendation. I’d wait until they tighten up the furniture, the kitchen, and the clarinet player’s karaoke.

Bad start from when we entered the restaurant. Staff seemed irritated we were there which may have been because there were multiple dirty tables she didn’t feel like cleaning. Our waitress carried our drinks by the rim of the glass. We asked for a straw so our mouth wasn’t where the drinks were carried and we were brought unwrapped straws that were too short for the glass and carried in the waitresses hand. Out of the taco Tuesday special by 7:00. They were out of iced tea as well. There’s also a very odd long mirror in the women’s bathroom giving you a unique view of yourself while using the restroom. We did not have the 4.7 star experience that we expected from other reviews. I will say the flat iron steak and the shrimp pasta was good. Our other items were just okay.

Far and away the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Spinach dip was amazing as well.

We loved our first visit to the Nauti Inn. Locals recommended it and every nice thing we heard about the place is true and more. Thank you Sharen and Brian, you have created a special place that is a local treasure. Thanks to your team for the amazing food, drinks and warm hospitality. It was a treat to meet you, enjoy the live music and to eat my birthday dinner at your wonderful restaurant.

Overpriced. Not serving what was on their website. Seems like Upper crust match people drink here. Basil linguine served in a bowl,, toast was soggy therefore. No sides, or meat included and this was apparently odd request. I wanted shrimp but they didn't have that available even at additional $$. Won't go back. Wine was a good California winery , however.
$$$ not worth it.

The spinach dip was depressing and the pierogis were as fresh as frozen can get!

We had multiple people in our party. Everything from the perogies to the jerk chicken sandwich to the hot honey burger was delicious. The bar is fully stocked and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I'll be back and try other items in the very interesting menu
