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.

Food was interesting and very good. We were a table of 5 put at a table for 4 so that was uncomfortable. We probably wouldn’t rush to go back.

Have had the calamari dish twice and it’s amazing. Had the octopus this time which was delicious but, perhaps, a small portion for the price.

Outstanding food but don’t go there when you are hungry. Portions are very small (Tapas style). Only 2 entree options that are ridiculously overpriced. So in summary very tasty food and nice atmosphere but plan to grab another bite afterwards.
