Nice casual friendly place for dinner. Food was good and tasty. Service was quick in spite of being a public holiday. When in Geelong would recommend to give this place a go,

Our family of 6 dined here whilst staying at Rydges Hotel. We found the menu selection excellent with 4 hungry teenagers but thought it a little pricey. Garlic bread $14 is too expensive. The wait for our meals was also too long, around 1hr for the meals to arrive but as we were having a lovely night it didn’t matter too much. There were two young waitstaff running the bar, tables and room service menu which I felt left diners a little unloved - no offer for more drinks, dessert or anything else. They did a great job though and were really friendly, funny and great at their job, they just needed another person on the floor assisting I felt. The food was excellent, fresh and cooked well with lovely presentation, and the dining area was spacious and inviting- but a little soulless without music. Music would add a great atmosphere. Overall we really enjoyed Nautica - we had a few drinks in the pool bar late afternoon before dinner and it was a really lovely atmosphere outside under the umbrellas. Overall I highly recommend for the food and lovely service with a smile.

Service was prompt and attentive. The food was well cooked and well presented - pub style food. Ambience was good with various zoned areas - not barn- like. Good for families or a cheerful evening meal.

Did not have our online booking and the table could have been better, felt like we were stuck in the middle of 2 poles. Food service waitstaff were very helpful.

Somewhat regulars every few weeks,the place was busy which is great, but staff seemed to have no leadership. Or idea how to manage Drinks took ages, where forgotten and orders put in wrong not just on our table but on adjoining for example the guy on the next table rejected food that was not for him delivered by the same waitress ! It was almost impossible to capture staffs attention for service short of walking up to the bar. Nautica has a great thing going but the service is letting it down. This is easily fixed with some training and investment in staff by management, which I really hope they do as we would have spent more had we been able to place orders

Staff were a bit short staffed and disorganised but the food was delicious as usual and it's a lovely setting for a reasonably priced meal.
