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.

    Outstanding meal with 5 other colleagues. Split several items and nearly all were outstanding. The cucumber salad was the star for me - best cucumber dish I've ever had. Tasty cocktails and a great ambiance made for a very memorable meal.

    Waitstaff could use some help, had to repeatedly ask for water on the table, didn’t clear dirty / empty dishes. Seemed a bit “unfazed” that she even had a to wait on us. Food was excellent.

    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.
