If you love sailing and anything NAUTICAL, this place is a MUST. They even have their own folklore of a sailor ghost! Food is great, .25 pool (pretty close quarters to play pool!) and MAKE SURE TO ASK THE OWNER for a "piece of rope", he will gladly show you how to make any of the Nautical Knots on display... More

We ate in the bar area, as we were craving pizza and cold beer. The bartender, Lori, was super friendly and started us out with our choices of beverages right away. She sent a server over immediately who was just as attentive, so we felt quite spoiled. The pizza was absolutely delicious! Thin crust, great sauce, and toppings! Great way... More

We ate at the Nautical Inn on 2/2/2013. Two of us had the buffet and two ordered steak from the menu. The salad bar was ok. The clam chowder soup was ok but it had broccoli in it? Why? The pasta buffet looked gross and was terrible! I could have opened my fridge and taken out a bunch of leftovers... More

We have passed this place for 20+ years, but one day, we decided to give it a try. It is cute inside, very local. We had the pasta buffet lunch, which was pretty good BUT even more important was the kid appeal. All my boys found something they liked. We went another time and the older guys had a burger,... More

My husband and I were looking for a place to get a drink on a very cold and windy January Sunday afternoon. Nothing was open yet and we happened to walk past this place and peek in and see that it was open. We walk in and it was just us and the owner inside (her name is Dawn), she... More

When Andy first reopened the Nautical it was FANTASTIC... happy for a restaurant that I could hold to Chicago standards that I grew up with... although I took my dad there when he came in, I was bitterly disappointed... food was lacking and tasteless... so sad

food and drink remain great. This was the place to go in the 1940's. Its 1/2 block off downtown.... loaded with history.

The Nautical Inn's Friday night baked cod was out of this world, melt in your mouth, baked to perfection, seasoned just right & served with melted butter for dipping!!! The soups were loaded baked potato & beef tip veggies, both very, very good. The dining room is clean, nicely lit, (not too bright, not too dim), & your eyes are... More

We found the Nautical Inn just a half a block off of Main Street. It was very quaint and inviting. The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. We had an excellent fish dinner and the Cheesy Veggie soup was tasty! We highly recommend enjoying a meal here!
