Nautilus Pier 4

Nautilus Pier 4 sits on the Harborwalk in the Seaport, with a waterfront patio and a menu designed for sharing. Japanese fried chicken, hamachi crudo and blue crab fried rice give a sense of the kitchen’s range, which draws on Asian cooking as well as New England seafood. Larger dishes include whole fried branzino and Peking-inspired roast duck, making it worth bringing enough people to order broadly. Cocktails, wine and sake give the table plenty of choices to go with dinner. The full food menu is also served at the 25-seat bar, where seats go to walk-ins. Look for the lantern sign on the harbor-facing side of the building.
