Solid diner. Always seems busy. Clean and lots of space, so you can get a table quickly. Diverse menu (as you'd expect) and quick, friendly service. Gave it three stars to reflect my impression of the food. My personal litmus test for a diner is an omelette with hash browns and toast. Here at Nautilus, the Omelette and toast were fine, but the hash browns were extremely bland... I could only eat them with a ton of salt, pepper, and ketchup. It was clear they used good, quality ingredients, but the food overall lacked flavor, as crazy as that might sound. This is not the first time I've eaten here, and prior experiences were the same. I'd still come back when I'm in a rush with the kids - it's healthier than fast food and just about as quick. On my last visit, we had little time before kid's nap, and we were in and out in 20 minutes, which is kind of amazing for a table service restaurant!
