The waiter was not much help in suggesting a wine (just suggested the most expensive and then every single one down the menu). Food was delicious and came out as it was ready.

Nothing but greatness from Nautilus Boston!…read more First time here at this excellent and beautiful restaurant in Seaport on the waterfront. Our server Jonathan was excellent. It was quite busy due to the tall ships on a beautiful and sunny Saturday afternoon, but I was happy to have made reservations a week prior. This restaurant is known for an eclectic Asian seafood cuisine, but they also have a few meat options such as a duck breast which was recommended for larger parties to share. Since it was just the two of us, we did have some cocktails which I thought were OK not great. What we did enjoy were the Japanese fried chicken, I highly recommend this and it was perfect for two people to share. The pan roasted dayboat scallops were also delicious but a little bit on the salty side, and the roasted beet salad was also good, but lacked some savory notes. Due to the unexpected wait, they actually comped our dessert which was very nice of them. Overall, I did enjoy this restaurant and really liked the view of the tall ships. I think if we decided to come again, we would probably come back on either a weeknight or maybe in the fall/winter. It can be pretty expensive as well but I do feel this restaurant is of quality. Cheers

It was my partners birthday and I was able to opt into their birthday package which comes with a cupcake and balloon for $10. It was worth it!

Totally photo worthy.

If I could review each "area" separately I would.

The location isn't ideal if you're driving. There is parking around but still - much easier to Lyft/Uber. Atmosphere was cute. Alright, the food... The street corn - delicious! Carne asada fries - super good! Tenderloin tips - (sign) not good at all. They had a very unpleasant taste and were not tender at all. Shrimp tacos - not bad but not crispy or crunchy like you expect fried shrimp to be. Definitely couldn't used a little more sauce as well. Birria tacos- also not memorable. We got two desserts - one out of 3 of us enjoyed them so, I guess it depends on your taste. Overall, it's fun to check out if it's on your list of places to visit. Definitely a one time visit.

Every dish told a story and I was genuinely surprised at how authentic some of the flavor palettes were. I usually take pictures of my food but we ate everything immediately and I was too distracted by the flavors to snap a pic.

I plan to come back again with my husband very soon and maybe next time I'll actually take a picture before stuffing my face.

I came here with no high expectations on sushi and it was over the top! Every bite was a burst of freshness and flavor! It was truly worth the price. On the other hand, we did sushi nachos, chicken lettuce wrap, and Rangoon. These apps were extremely mediocre for the price. The cocktails here are wonderful and are worth the $20 My reason for 4/5 stars were for the mediocre apps that I didn't think were worth the price. And the service, we didn't receive bad service but I truly believe that when dining at places like this I like to think I'm paying the high cost for the ocean view and the good service. Our server really lacked personality, never asked us how our drinks or food was but only come to the table when we needed to order something. Idk if this is because we had younger kids at our table but there's many other places in Boston that my family truly enjoy service from. I will come back for drinks and sushi at the bar!! Again props to the sushi guys! Phenomenal sushi rolls!!!

I had an overwhelmingly disappointing experience at this restaurant last night. I'll preface this…read morereview by saying that I've worked in the industry for 16 years and I understand sometimes people have not so great days. The Tall ships are in town so the restaurant is probably busy. While this presents new challenges, it also gives most of the employees an opportunity to make more money so I'm not putting a lot of stock into that being the reason why the service was so poor. I asked my server what they thought about these two dishes and they didn't immediately say I shouldn't get the tuna burger, which I find fascinating given how absolutely terrible the dish it is. As you can see from my photo it is literally an entire tray of french fries and then a tiny little Tuna burger which was fine ish? Pretty dry but I was just astonished at how many fries we got. And they were like a bad version of McDonald's fries. It was hot and humid outside, and I was begging for water. Every single time the server came over I had to ask for water, despite having an empty glass that I strategically put at the end of the table. We had a service animal with us and we did ask for water for her which she forgot , but honestly that didn't bother me much because we should have brought her our own water. There were no server assistants, or managers , or busses to fill water I guess ? It seemed like this girl had an entire section to herself, and she did not seem very happy. This was an overwhelmingly disappointing experience given how expensive everything was, and with so many nearby options we don't feel any reason to ever go back. I think my photo says it all, have you ever seen so many fries on one plate ???? One positive : the drinks were amazing.

There were loads of options for vegetarians (which is not something I remember from our earlier experiences), I had a couple delicious vermouths, my wife had a lovely orange wine, my kids were happy, and the service was friendly.

Firstly, many items were overcooked, including the octopus/pulpo and hangar steak. The flavor was great for both but the tentacle had gotten a tiny bit rubbery and steak was more well done than I liked. Eggplant tapa was great. I loved the lamb empanada. Paella was standard. Not too much seafood flavor and I thought the pieces of chicken seemed to not fit with the rest of the dish but rice was very well prepared. We really didn't enjoy the tuna on toast and the gambas (shrimp). Overall, some dishes were good but could be better while some were not to my liking. We were seated outside but staff were attentive.

I came here on a Sunday morning right when they opened so luckily there were no crowds at the bar or obstructing the views. I didn't see a food menu but drinks were small and expensive.
