In 2013, three ambitious industry professionals transformed a quaint space on Nantucket into The Nautilus—a dining experience that transcends the ordinary. Born from a blend of passion for culinary excellence and spirited beverages, The Nautilus emerged as a cornerstone of shared social dining on this tiny island. Embracing flavours that span coastal New England to the vibrant essence of Asian, Spanish, Latin American, and Mediterranean cuisines, this gem offers more than a meal; it offers an exploration. With every Peking duck, tuna poke, and craft cocktail served, The Nautilus not only shares its food but invites guests into a narrative rich with global influences and local charm.
The atmosphere at The Nautilus is as unique and curated as its culinary offerings. Inside, the decor is subtly nautical but unmistakably chic, making it feel like you’ve stepped into a Jules Verne novel. Whether you’re a connoisseur of fine wines, a sake enthusiast, or in search of the perfect cocktail, the award-winning selection aims to please all palettes. Located at 12 Cambridge St in Nantucket, with a sibling venue in Boston since 2021, The Nautilus makes every visit an event to remember. You’re not just eating out; you’re embarking on a shared journey of taste, ambience, and connection. For more information or to make a reservation, dial (508) 228-0301 and prepare to “Come Get a Taste” of a dining experience like no other.
