First time there, went with my wife and two adult sons. We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but the staff were very gracious about accommodating us. The food was fantastic. The fried chicken and biscuits are not to be missed. The sliders are likewise remarkable. The cocktails are expertly mixed; flavorful, complex, and quite strong. Overall, really great restaurant. Highly recommend.

Great experience! I've been to Nautilus on Nantucket, and the Pier 4 location definitely lived up to expectations! Tuna poke, pork belly buns, Jonah crab special, and lettuce wraps were all fantastic! Perfectly made negroni, and the ACK Nauti was delicious. Service was present but not overbearing which is always appreciated. Lively crowd by the bars, and dining room was decently filled. 10/10 thank you for a great dinner! I truly forget our server's name (and didn't bring home the receipt to check), but she was fantastic!

What an amazing family owned Mexican restaurant! We were greeted with warmth and told they would definitely find us a table. The place was busy and they asked if we had made reservations. We had not, and we started at the bar with a trio of salsas and bean dip. All yummy! We also got the margarita flight which was really fun! You get to pick four flavors. Once we got to our table, it was refreshing to see typical items and new items that are not typical on the menu. The food was fresh and delicious. The people working were personable and kind. I cannot say enough about this place. We will be back!
