Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Stephen Marcaurelle

From the OpenTable editors: You’ll find globally-inspired, seafood-forward mashups, an award-winning wine program, and sweeping waterfront views at Nautilus Pier 4, the Nantucket destination’s Boston sibling. Grab a seat in the glam dining room decked with nautically themed murals or on the greenery-strewn patio and dig into shareable crowd favourites like blue crab fried rice and a Peking-inspired whole roasted duck, and you won’t be disappointed.

The food with the exception of the ribs was superb. Very nice servers. Seating was not optimal. I booked a high top table next to water. Not what we got. VERY noisy.

We loved the food - it was amazing. The Vietnamese yellowtail and the tuna poke 2 ways were both spot on with their distinct flavor profiles. The fish was incredibly fresh and expertly cut. We also tried the Japanese style chicken which was a bit heavy on the batter and the flavor profile could have lightened up more toward the traditional version with ginger and mirin. And the battered fish sandwich was outstanding! The small plate dishes were nicely portioned for sharing and although the menu is quite small everything was fresh, delicious and perfectly prepared. I'm sure it is so much more wonderful in the summer right n the water.

i won't be back. Food was ok especially for the money they charge. i asked to sit by the bar, they sat us by the dinning room. I added that it was my daughters birthday they did nothing about it. We saw the waitress once when she got our order and once when she gave us the check.

Delicious food in a lively environment! Seating is really tight and felt a bit claustrophobic at times. The food is served family style and our waitress recommended 2-3 dishes per person. We ended up ordering more like 1-2 dishes per person and still had plenty of food. Definitely small plates but everything was delicious!
