I had the lunch menu it was good. Excellent service, friendly. I will definitely come back.

Wow simply just wow! The oysters were so fresh you could taste the ocean, didn't even need a mignotte. The crab bisque was great. Lobster and shrimp plate was great. The Halibut was good too (though there could be a bit more sauce since it was delicious). The atmosphere is nice (even though it's not by the water). And the service was simply superb. We were very happy and would definitely return again. Note: It's a bit expensive but definitely worth it. Bathrooms were clean. Not very accessible (you need to take a couple of stairs to get up and I didn't see a ramp, though I reckon the waiters would help out if you're on a wheelchair.

This was my first time visiting this resturaunt. Upon being seated, we were met by a wonderful waiter that provided bread and drinks. We ordered the baked clams and raw clams for an appetizer, both were excellent. for an entrée, I had the coconut shrimp, and crab cake special. "Jumbo" does not do these shrimp a justice. They are the largest shrimp that I have ever seen. My uncle had the ale battered shrimp. There were four very large shrimp, we were told that the sides are served family style and we ordered fries and coleslaw. Everything was truly delicious and I will be returning in the future.

We were exploring the neighborhood and shopping for seafood early Sunday and picked this place for lunch. At 12:00 pm it was not crowded yet and we were seated at a corner table by the window with a canal view across the street. As you probably guessed it, we ordered seafood 🐟 Efficient service, freshly prepared food and comfortable atmosphere make it a great experience!

Cozy dining experience. Priced right. Food was outstanding and very fresh. The tuna steak and red snapper were cooked perfectly and had balanced flavors. Service was personal and professional. View of the canal can be seen from any table.

Nice small restaurant with a view of the boats and the water. The food and drinks were good. Certain dishes are not available during lunch like the lobster. But they were able to accommodate me with lobster tail.

My girlfriend took me here to celebrate my recent promotion. From the outside there's nothing special really or extravagant to look at and the inside is nothing spectacular either. We sat and watched the nautic mile which consisted of a whole lot of people dining walking socializing drinking and just having a good time in the beautiful weather. I Will Wait her was named Chuck. He was also the bartender. After being seated it didn't take but a few seconds before he came and gave us a menu asked about our day and seemed very happy to have us there. He managed to multitask and did it very well between serving at the bar and serving us. I gather that's the reason why we left him such a Hardy tip. Let's talk about the food I ordered the salmon with garlic mashed potatoes my girlfriend ordered these spinach and halibut. When our entrees came we had not completed our appetizers but we were ready to dig in. For an appetizer she had coconut shrimps and I was surprised that they only served too. I think price was a little bit too much just for two. I however had the lobster bisque which was absolutely wonderful I mean scrumptious I mean delicious I mean fantastically prepared. Creamy. I don't recall seeing very much meat in it but that's okay because the flavor was so good. The bread that was served was just perfect the rules were nice and served in a little small basket with assortment of crackers or breadsticks depending on where you're from. Also a piece of sweet bread I call it I believe it was banana bread I'm not sure nonetheless the butter complimented it. The salmon was prepared perfectly not overcooked not undercoat you can actually taste the freshness of this slice of salmon and was just enough. The creamy mashed potatoes you can taste garlic and it was not heavily salted like I've experienced somewhere else which I will not say. She said that her halibut was delicious and I took a piece and she was correct. I go fishing on a regular I fish for flounder and they taste good I've never had a halibut but now that I've tasted watch out Canada Oswego New York and any place else which these fish can be found I'm coming for you. A very white delicious textured fish that melted in our mouth didn't need to chew it very much. I don't know about anybody else but I certainly will be back here again. The prices are a little steep but I didn't mind because the food was delicious. We didn't do desserts instead we went to a pastry shop but the dessert menu wasn't much to desire at least not for our taste buds. I have to give this a four-star because as you guys know if you give five stars it means nothing needs to be improved upon. So a four-star will do for now only because the decor needed to be updated the bathroom was a little messy it had a scent of urine. Parking attendant was absolutely wonderful he was personable and actually he was kind of funny as he didn't know it maybe found him to be comical. When you're in the neighborhood check this place out he won't regret it until then let your mouth water all the meals we had and enjoyed.

Small cozy restaurant on the Mile with pretty good food. The baked clams where chopped only wish they were whole but still good. I ordered the special, halibut with mushroom and lobster meat sauce (minus the mushrooms), very fresh but the sauce was the highlight of this dish. I ordered a baked potato but wished they had more options for the sides. Forgot to mention the shrimp and corn chowder soup was great!

We came down to Freeport to go elsewhere but it was closed so we decided to try this place. The menu seemed a bit limited but they had a good lunch special deal. We asked if they had soft shell crabs- it wasn’t written anywhere on the menu or mentioned in the specials. Turned out they did have them. The soft shell crabs were excellent- one of the best I have had. They were generously portioned as well. The warm apple crisp was delicious too. They coffee was strong and good also. We share a cold seafood appetizer which was very good and had generous portions. Would liked to have seen whole belly Ipswich clams and whole clam instead of chopped clams appetizer . The warm banana bread in the bread basket was a nice touch.

We have been coming to Nautilus Cafe for 15 years, and have always enjoyed our meal. However, we were very disappointed on our most recent visit. They removed the Prime Rib entree from the menu, and this was one of our main reasons for eating here. Also, the portions seemed smaller, on top of a price increase, and the bread basket was lacking, based on previous experience. Unfortunately I think it might be time to find a new special occasion restaurant.

My waitress was very nice. The ambience is nice but the food is average. The crab cake was the only thing that I really enjoyed.

My boyfriend and I come to this restaurant frequently for their prix fixe dinner and we come from Queens which typically takes an hour to an hour and a half to get here. We usually have a great time until today. We came about 4:30 & were the only people in the restaurant besides few people at the bar. The second we got the prix fixe menu , We saw something different. They now add $12 for the Prime Rib which usually was free with the Prix Fixe. Next my boyfriend asked for the 2 lb Lobster. The waiter said it was sold out. We pleaded with him to find a 2LB Lobster but he wouldn’t budge. We asked to speak to the manager and he claimed he was the manager. My boyfriend’s family has been going to this restaurant for many, many years. He was shocked at how unwilling to help this man was especially when the restaurant was empty. We deserved better. We decided to leave but he could’ve offered something for next time. This was all handled very unprofessionally. It’s a shame that we have to write this review for a restaurant we’ve always loved and enjoyed. Hopefully they’ll order more lobsters so this doesn’t happen again to us or to anybody else.

We received a birthday coupon that stated for my birthday that stated $15.00 off ANY order off $50. When the bill came, we were told we should have read the fine print for the lunch menu. We have dined at this restaurant for probably 30 years. We’re so sorry this restaurant has changed. . It used to be such a special place. Please beware.
