Very nice and cozy place. We came in at 9pm and had the barramundi and black dumplings, vitello tonnato and the fake caviar for desert. Love all the sauces and everything taste great. Great service too! Unfortunately we couldn’t get the octopus tomato fondant, will come back next time to try it!
We had an amazing evening at Nautilus, where every detail—from the food to the atmosphere—was beautifully thought out. Food The dishes were plated like works of art. The ceviche tacos were bright and refreshing, with fresh fish, corn, mango, and avocado wrapped in crisp shells—definitely a highlight starter. The sesame-crusted tuna was elegant and flavorful, while the seafood pasta with scallops and clams was hearty and comforting. The stir-fry with squid and greens brought a nice touch of local flair. Everything came with thoughtful accompaniments like guacamole, pico de gallo, and homemade sauces that tied the flavors together. Cocktails (The Best Part!) The drinks were truly the star of the evening. Each cocktail was not only delicious but also stunningly presented—from a refreshing citrus spritz to a gold leaf–topped Old Fashioned. The creativity and balance in the cocktails made them unforgettable, elevating the whole experience. Sipping them under candlelight gave the night an extra touch of magic. Ambiance & Service The setting was warm and intimate, with a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Service was professional and attentive without ever being intrusive. Overall While the food was excellent, the cocktails stole the show. Nautilus is perfect for anyone looking for a place where drinks, dining, and atmosphere come together for a special night.
The oyster was good and sublime. Butternut Fish was the main I ordered and was what I was looking for. The warm salad was also good and interesting. The Ceasar salad was ok the shrimp in it was really good. Service was great and attentive apart from the slight mistake on my order. Restaurant was clean well lighted and moody.
A truly unforgettable experience. We came here as part of our honeymoon trip, and from the very first moment, everything felt incredibly special. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — genuinely kind, attentive, and effortlessly professional. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with freshness and creativity. You can truly taste the care and detail behind every recipe. The combination of flavors, textures, and local ingredients was outstanding. This dinner was one of the highlights of our time in Bali. We left with full hearts, happy smiles, and a memory we’ll always treasure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined, heartfelt, and intimate dining experience.
We had the pleasure of dining at Nautilus Seafood and Bar in Ubud, an experience that transcended a simple meal to become a truly unforgettable celebration of the senses. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was a seafood lover's paradise. The journey began not just with the palate, but with the eyes and nose—the vibrant, artfully plated dishes were a feast for the eyes, while the rich, fresh aromas of the ocean filled the air, promising the delights to come. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavor, a testament to the kitchen's mastery of fresh ingredients and sophisticated technique. The taste was a revelation, taking us on a culinary voyage that was both elegant and deeply satisfying. This extraordinary meal was made even more special by the impeccable service. Kuming was a true professional, displaying a perfect blend of attentiveness and grace that exemplifies fine dining at its best. Her recommendations and genuine warmth elevated our evening from great to exceptional. We were celebrating my mother's birthday, and as the night drew to a close, she declared it her best birthday dinner ever. We left Nautilus not just with satisfied taste buds, but with a profound sense of contentment and appreciation for the beautiful moments in life. Nautilus Seafood and Bar isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience that nourishes both the body and the soul.
1. Ordered the barramundi and dumplings, but unfortunately, the sauce lacked flavor, and the dumplings lacked temperature. Fish was cooked decently 2. Better orders of the night were the appetizers/small plates. The oysters were excellent, and the tuna tataki had a deep nutty flavor. 3. Seafood platter was lukewarm when it arrived. Nothing really stood out given the expectations. Decent, but not worth repeating.
Nautilus was honestly the best seafood experience we had in Bali. We celebrated our honeymoon there and the staff surprised us with a free dessert, which was such a kind touch. The prawns were fresh, perfectly cooked and full of flavor, served with gloves to make it easy, and the champagne matched perfectly. The oysters were outstanding — super fresh, creamy and juicy. We tried both raw and baked, and both were spot on. The place itself feels cozy, with a big aquarium full of lobsters that adds to the atmosphere. Overall, it’s a hidden gem — amazing food, attentive staff, and a place we’ll definitely remember. Thank you, amazing experience!
