    Great seafood I thought the servers tried very hard. The kitchen was busy so delays were to be expected but every server was attentive ps I had the roast beef -delicious! Good value and good food.

    Although we generally love Nautilus Cafe, our last visit was not quite what we have come to expect. The place was filled to capacity. We waited 10 minutes for menus and another 20 minutes for a server. Then we waited an hour for our entree's. Although the manager actively apologized, the kitchen clearly couldn't keep up with the demand of a full house. The food, however, was up to its high standards.

    There were 4 of us for the Prix Fixe dinner. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We eat at the bar to get a chance to chat with other locals as well as to meet new people. The parmesan crusted scallop appetizer was delicious as was the salad with strawberries and parmesan cheese. We also enjoyed an extra appetizer of seared tuna. As a tuna fisherman, I only order tuna in a few places and this is definitely one if them. We each had a different main course: prime rib, lobster, halibut with lobster meat and a new addition to the menu, a chilled half lobster, shrimp and lump crabmeat cocktail. we each thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the portions were plentiful. Desserts of tartufo and carrot cake complimented the meals. We have eaten her regularly for over 30 years and will continue to dine here. You cant go wrong at Nautilus for either a relaxing dinner out or a special occasion.

    Been dining here for many years. It never disappoints. Food is delicious and the service is always beyond compare. It is the only place we will eat seafood on Long Island. Always fresh and prepared to perfection.
