The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.

Great experience! I've been to Nautilus on Nantucket, and the Pier 4 location definitely lived up to expectations! Tuna poke, pork belly buns, Jonah crab special, and lettuce wraps were all fantastic! Perfectly made negroni, and the ACK Nauti was delicious. Service was present but not overbearing which is always appreciated. Lively crowd by the bars, and dining room was decently filled. 10/10 thank you for a great dinner! I truly forget our server's name (and didn't bring home the receipt to check), but she was fantastic!

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Cambridge, and in the Boston area. The service and ambience is always 10/10, and the 90s hip-hop in the background just elevates the experience. Their ever-changing menu featuring mainstays like the BLT lettuce wraps, manti, burger, Bangkok noodles and cookie dough are always crowd pleasers. I try to make little donkey a stop every time I’m back home, can’t recommend it more.
