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 favorites like blue crab fried rice and a Peking-inspired whole roasted duck, and you won’t be disappointed.

Had the best waitress ever! I spilt my drink on my brand new white outfit and she was very quick to not only get me a new drink, she went above and beyond with grabbing me wipes, a towel, and soda water to help get the stain out! (And it worked!!) We also got sat a little bit late but they let us go to the bar and gave us some free apps! So kind of them!

Sea urchin portion was on the smaller side, but flavour x 1000, totally recommend. Oyster tempura tacos were perfectly delicious Bbq spare ribs were a heaping bowl full and the sauce was perfectly balanced The blue crab fried rice was amazing. Don’t skip it. Fantastic meal, fantastic service.

My Boyfriend and I went to celebrate and sat on the chef's tableside seats. We were unfortunately sat in front of a huge pillar and plates, so were not able to have a good view after all of the chef's cooking in the kitchen. We ordered a spicy margarita and the honey crisp- both were delightful! then we had the cauliflower salad (which is one of their best plates and never disappoints), the Japanese Hamachi Crudo (which was just okay), the Vietnamese Beef Tataki Salad (which is their play on a beef carpaccio and is really good), the Harissa Colorado Lamb Chops (which were seasoned and cooked to perfection), and the salted chocolate and mint soft serve ice cream for dessert (which was okay, the salted chocolate flavored ice cream was good, but the mint was a very different basil-ly mint type that just wasn't our cup of tea to enjoy). All and all I would give a 3.5 or 4 out of 5.
