The Nautilus

"One of the best Boston seafood restaurants (hit them up on Pier 4 in the Seaport) has a Nantucket outpost. The Nautilus, which originated in Nantucket, serves small seafood plates izakaya-style, including meaty crab fried rice, shrimp toast, oyster tacos, and a peking duck that you and your friends should order after a day out on a boat or the green. Expect the clubby space—we love taking over a spot on the tufted blue banquettes—to go all out for the season." - tanya edwards

"This is one of the top spots on Nantucket, and we’re thrilled it landed in the Seaport a couple of years ago. Nautilus Pier 4 is the kind of restaurant that does dishes from all over the place—New England, Latin America, the Mediterranean, and across Asia—but pretty much anything here is solid. Go for the crab fried rice and tempura oyster tacos that made the Nantucket location a hit, along with the tuna chips and dip, which is basically fancy tuna salad with crispy shrimp chips, and the Peking whole roasted duck with squishy little steamed buns, sushi rice, and smoky mayo. There are plenty of great patios around the Seaport, and Nautilus has a solid one where you’ll get a good view of the harbor. It’s also the ideal place to sip on their absurdly delicious cocktails like the Cruel Summer, made with coconut rum and Aztec chocolate bitters." - Tanya Edwards

"One of the best seafood restaurants (hit them up on Pier 4 in the Seaport) has a Nantucket outpost. The Nautilus, which originated in Nantucket, serves small seafood plates izakaya-style, including meaty crab fried rice, prawns a la plancha, oyster tacos, and a Peking duck that you and your friends should order after a day out on a boat or the green. 2023 is the Nantucket location’s 10th anniversary, so expect the clubby space—we love taking over a spot on the tufted blue banquettes—to go all out for the season." - Tanya Edwards

"A relatively new restaurant called The Nautilus right in town that has Asian fusion food that's really good, too."

"Drink in the Friendly Party Vibe Award-winning Nautilus offers seasonal cocktails, over 20 wines sold by the glass, and an extensive list of mezcal, beer, and sake. Warm and friendly, this is the kind of place where you’ll no doubt meet the folks sitting next to you at the bar. Owned by a threesome who know their way around the industry, the lively, hip scene almost feels like you're at a cool friend's cocktail party."
