NP4 (Nautilus Pier 4), an offshoot of The Nautilus in Nantucket, is scheduled to open in a 4,827 square-foot space at the Seaport’s Pier 4, a nine-story boutique condo from development firm Tishman Speyer. While the restaurant won’t open until the second quarter of 2020, the original concept already has a strong following.
Open since May 2014, The Nautilus has racked up accolades for its New England-rooted, globally-influenced fare, landing on Boston magazine’s Best of Boston list in 2018 and making appearances in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Travel + Leisure. At the helm is chef Liam Mackey, beverage director Clinton Terry, and sommelier Stephen Bowler, all of whom also own and operate another Nantucket standby, restaurant and music venue The Gaslight.
While details of the menu at NP4, which will be a stone’s throw from the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Harbor Walk, haven’t been announced, a press release indicated that menu favorites from Nantucket would be coming to the Boston outpost — which means diners might find dishes like tempura east coast oyster tacos, Vietnamese beef tataki salad, and lobster tostadas. Terry’s cocktail lineup at the Nantucket location is a balanced mix of classics and creative inventions, like Clinton’s Lost Loves with bourbon, purple basil, lemon, and spicy ginger, while Bowler’s wine and sake menu is a fun list broken down into categories like orange juice and skin ferments, sparkling pet nat, and “wines from people and places we love.”
Joining NP4 in the Pier 4 space is Woods Hill, a farm-to-table restaurant from restaurateur Kristin Canty, who currently runs The Farm at Woods Hill in Bath, N.H. Earlier this year, Canty shared her excitement with Boston.com, saying that Pier 4 is “an iconic space,” and that the restaurant will focus on organic, sustainable ingredients used to create family-style suppers and shared plates.
We can't wait to try all that NP4 has to offer! But in the meantime, we hope you'll join us as we head to the island to devour the details of The Nautilus food and drink menus a few more times!
