The duck is one of the best things I’ve had on the island. Beyond delicious. It was a little loud (the music, not the crowd). I don’t mind loud music but this was a bit excessive. Service was great as well.

Hard to go wrong with the range of bites available on the menu, but the crab fried rice was quite fantastic. Definitely explore the sake list to complement your meal, and I’ve included pictures of the pork belly bao, street corn, monkfish bites, and carpaccio (alas, we feasted on the fried rice before pictures).

A must go!!! For now they are only doing phone call booking after 2pm for the same day dinner, so make sure you call right after 2pm. They are usually booked out after 2:15pm. We didn’t get the booking but decided to walk in and try, and luckily got an outdoor seating! Every dish is worth it, very tasty and satisfying!! I would strongly recommend the blue crab fried rice, tempera oyster roll and shishito. We also got an extra free fried pancake from the kitchen, don’t know why. 🙂 Overall experience is just perfect!

I can’t tell you how much I USED to love this place, not anymore. I went on Resy 12:01AM exactly when they said to book a week in advance and still couldn’t get my party of 6 reserved. End up going at 5:30PM another time after setting up notification. Once there, great table inside. But it was EXTREMELY LOUD. Food was not anywhere near as tasty as past summers. Much smaller portions too. I seriously could not wait to leave. Mediocre at best food, mediocre at best service, below ave atmosphere. There are so many BETTER OPTIONS that serve similar dishes. Def scratching off my list.

Amazing. Food is killer—across the board. But the Peking duck is a show stopper. Enough arguably for a table of 6 it’s about as good a dish as there is. Service is warm. Drinks are cold. Enough said. Must stop on the island.

One of the best restaurants on Nantucket. We had the shishito peppers, crab fried rice is to die for. Tuna poke bowl is amazing too. Follow me on social media at @acknatural. Nantucket’s cannabis Dispensary

Delicious food, is a small restaurant that can get packed and loud though, so if you like a quiet place not for that. Staff is great except one waiter that was drinking wine while working and sitting on a table doind so , not very professional.

We went again this year and were not disappointed. Each dish we had was genuinely better than the one before. The fried oyster tacos, soft shell crab buns special, and Thai lobster curry were out of this world. And the staff, especially our server, Aria, and the sommelier were incredibly helpful. If you can get a reservation… it’s a must-go.

We went to the Nautilus based on positive reviews online. Our server Sam was very friendly and professional. We ordered the tuna poke, tempura oyster tacos, scallops and grilled lamb chops. All of food was of high quality which justified the price. The lamb chops in particular were a standout! Looking forward to trying the restaurant again when they open a Boston location.
