Private Events

FOUNDED on Nantucket in 2014, The Nautilus opened in Boston in 2021 An urban oasis situated right on the water in the heart of the city’s bustling Seaport District, The Nautilus is a food & drink destination unlike anything else in Boston.

The Nautilus was founded on the principle that everything is better when shared. The restaurant was built around this idea of a shared social experience and seeks to provide a setting for guests to enjoy the interplay between food, cocktails, and wine. The 130 linear feet of waterfront dining boasts Boston Harbor views from every room. The unique, subtly nautical decor gives nods to Jules Verne and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The music is well curated and lively, the atmosphere energetic, and every effort is made to make the new and unfamiliar feel comfortable and at home. The Nautilus offers the perfect venue for your next event!

Four separate dining rooms allow for unique and memorable dining experiences!
