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.

    The food was tasty, it was pricey but worth it. The chairs outside on the patio are terrible. I cannot walk today after sitting in those hard metal chairs. To complete the ambiance the seating needs to be updated.

    The food was delicious. The server did well and the team works well together to run food and clear dishes. Not a lot of personality. Dinner felt very rushed. We were originally seated at a table outside that was basically on top of another (my hair would have been in their food) and there was a plant hanging into my husband’s face. The tables outside are seated way to close to one another and for the reason I don’t think I would return.

    Hi Constance, Thanks for taking the time to write this review and offer some feedback. Very glad to hear you enjoyed the food. However, my apologies that your dinner experience felt rushed and lacked personality. I'll make sure to pass this information on to the team to improve future experiences. Also, sorry that your original spot on our patio was uncomfortable. We are working on trying to maximize our space without compromising the comfortability of our guests, so your feedback goes a long way. I would love to have you back to join us again. If you decide to return, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email (I'll follow up). I can ensure your experience is up to standard and you get a more comfortable seat on our patio. Thank you again for the review! Matt DeSario

    Wow, took my son for dinner, this place was fantastic and we will be back. Everything we ordered was delicious, the soft shell crab was our favorite but everything was so tasty - radish cakes, shrimp and pork dumplings were also standout. And the ice cream twist dessert is a must have. Our waiter was so good - professional, amazingly timely service. When you ask for a glass of wine, it comes out right away, dishes are cleared quickly, just such a great experience. Was pretty loud - I do wish the tables had a bit more room around them. Can’t wait to go back.
