Local tip
The entrance is on the east side of 300 Pier 4. From the main entrance, walk right toward the harborwalk, then look for the lantern sign.

Nautilus Pier 4 is a waterfront restaurant in Boston’s Seaport, positioned along the harborwalk at the east side of the 300 Pier 4 building. The setting faces the World Trade Center and Logan Airport, giving the restaurant a distinctly maritime location without separating it from the active waterfront around it.

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with dedicated menus for desserts, drinks and wine. Its format is suited to diners looking for a full restaurant experience as well as those who prefer a seat at the bar. A 25-seat bar accepts walk-ins and serves the full menu, while the dining rooms provide a more traditional setting for meals.

Several spaces give Nautilus Pier 4 flexibility for different occasions. The venue includes dining rooms, a bar, an indoor and outdoor window bar, and a waterfront lounge. These options support everything from a meal at the bar to a larger gathering arranged around the restaurant’s private-event spaces.

The private Captain’s Quarters can accommodate up to 35 people with a full buyout, or up to 15 seated guests with a partial buyout. Additional outdoor areas can be added for events with more of a cocktail-party layout. The range of configurations makes the restaurant suitable for group meals, celebrations and private functions that need more structure than a standard table reservation.

Nautilus Pier 4 also welcomes walk-ins in its bar and dining rooms, subject to availability. Reservations are offered for smaller parties, while larger groups and private events follow a separate planning process. The restaurant’s position on the harborwalk, access to varied seating, and broad service format make it a practical choice for a waterfront lunch, dinner, drinks or a hosted gathering.
