On occasion we'll order their serviceable cheeseburgers (we usually get them "deluxe" with slaw, pickle, fries AND onion rings), but more often than not we'll get a whole dinner. In most cases, these come with soup or a (fairly substantially-proportioned) garden salad, plus choice of potato and veg. Regularly, I eat the salad, the potato, and the veg, and take the protein home for another day. That was the case on a recent visit to the Nautilus, when Mr Minx and I were accompanied by his brother, Craig.
I had the half baked chicken with stuffing, a baked potato, and stewed eggplant. I ate the wing, a slice of thigh, the stuffing, eggplant, and about half the potato. Our dog Milo was the happy recipient of some of the breast meat, and the remainder made a nice chicken salad for my lunch later in the week. While the chicken was slightly dry, the skin was nice and crisp, and the eggplant had a nice punch of red pepper. Oh, and it was $12.99
Mr Minx had the prime rib, a $17.99 special that day. His brother had the whole rockfish for the same price. The steak was tender and juicy. I didn't try the fish but Craig seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, saying it was perfectly cooked.
In the past, we've enjoyed the restaurant's huge servings of lasagna, moussaka, meatloaf, and fried chicken. Their crab cakes are a little bready, but otherwise tasty. Less successful are dry souvlaki and dull grilled chicken sandwiches.
The Nautilus recently introduced a new menu with trendy additions to the roster of classic fare. Now one can get a pastrami and swiss burger, a chicken cordon bleu panini, or a spinach quesadilla, as well as breakfast all day (and night) long.
