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.

Delicious food in a lively environment! Seating is really tight and felt a bit claustrophobic at times. The food is served family style and our waitress recommended 2-3 dishes per person. We ended up ordering more like 1-2 dishes per person and still had plenty of food. Definitely small plates but everything was delicious!

There early with party of 3 and was seated right away. They recommended we each order 3 items. We ordered 5 total. The roasted cauliflower was delicious and portions was generous! We got the shishito peppers and it was a generous portion which we couldn’t finish. Wanted to get a few other veggie options but due to allergies we decided on other options. We got the charcoal shrimp which was ok but the sauce was very good and asked for bread and instead they offered rice. We waited 15 min for the rice, by that time the sauce was cold. We also got the scallop and that was ok. The Korean bbq short ribs cut in smaller sections and was also good, not generous but enough for the three of us. The scallops were the size of quarters or smaller, one or two pieces of mushrooms so the price and value was not great to start. There was sand and grit in a few of the scallops. Wait staff was kind to accommodate when we informed them. We enjoyed the hot cocktail of chai tea with honey with lemon at the start. Very hopping place on Friday night and right on the water.

Food was good, however the discrepancy between the quality of the food, and the service was large. Seating was claustrophobic. Whole experience was shallow, especially given the price.
