Shed 5 Restaurant & Bar/The Crab Shack Reviews

Close to the Wellington Museum, had to wait 15 min for a Coffe but it was lovely served, Prices are ok. A lot of wines to choose from.

One of my favourite restaurants in the world for seafood! And this time we only sat in the bar area but the food and cocktails were still on point.

Very nice restaurant. Large selection of sea food but also have some meat dishes. Mains are on the pricey side but my snapper was delicious and a good sized portion. Lovely interior in an old wharf shed right by the water front.

For seafood you do not have to go any further. Five star plus.

Lovely setting, great food, friendly service. A relatively small yet impressive menu. Given that passers by can see right in at your table through the expansive Windows, it somehow still has a cozy feel. 10/10!

Delicious food and pretty good service once you soften them up a bit

Wellington net red shop, the point of shellfish with white wine & cream sauce is especially fresh! The chowder is also great! Although the price is a bit expensive, I think it is worth it. There is only Wilson parking around, the price is unreasonable. Overall great. Thank you guys for great dinner and awsome food!

Exceptional food, service and atmosphere. I would give it a 10 if I could.

Excellent wine selection by the glass and staff made good suggestions. Great location at wharf. Just did drinks and bar area is nice.

The food and wine selections were great, but the service seemed slow for what I was expecting.

Great staff, two restaurants and bar under one roof. Crab Shack awesome food. Casiun style.

Nicely presented food, cook perfectly. Service was great. The kids menu food was cooked to the same high standard as the main menu. Loved it.

Didn't feel welcome. Apparently zero alcohol beer isn't something their customers want - it's not a thing

Very good food and better service than most other places

My friends and decided to have fine dining there instead of going to the Crab Shack because they provide truly fresh seafood. The food quality is really high. We had salmon and king fish cooked with puree and cheese. They tasted amazing. But the entree did not worth the price given its too salty flavor.

Absolutely delicious food in a great location. Get a window seat if you can !

Very tasty fish and chips. Airy dining space. Beautiful location.

Fine dining.Excellent service.Quality food.Highly recommend. Our waitress was outstanding.

Excellent food. Stopped in for lunch and we were happily please with all components of our meal. For the quality of the food it was very fairly priced.

Would recommend.

Decent service and absolutely amazing food. My husband and I had the seafood chowder and raw seafood salad to start, and the market fish (groper) for our mains. Stick to the seafood on this menu, that's what these guys do best.

Fabulous lunch with beautiful friends. Excellent service too by staff going the extra mile. I'll be back!

Great atmosphere, and we didn't have to wait too long. The food is amazing. David from Glasgow will take care of you.

Beautiful setting for our wedding. Our server Faye was so kind and great

Amazing food, but service was lacking. Due to the ambient noise i could barely hear our waiter describe the food. After our mains were served we were forgotten about. Had to actually get up and find a waiter to order desert and then again to sort out the bill.

Great place for a special occasion. Delicious food.

Yummy food, quick friendly service. Large helpings.

The waiter really sold the menu, he was great. The food was awesome, nice atmosphere. Great place to go for a meal

Excellent food and service. Great location and atmosphere.

We always go here when we go to W O W .
Every year as it is a superb restaurant.
And right across from the show we go to love the place. Silver service. Great staff

Second time there and just as enjoyable and relaxing as the first. New menu as well.

Good food but the wait time.for a table
of.6 on a less.than busy night was ridiculous.Over an hour wait for the mains to appear without any offer of compensation.Disappointing given the quality of the food..

Great friendly and helpful staff, beautiful location, and amazing food...loved every minute of it. Thank you :)

Absolutely exceptional. Then food and service are everything you would expect from a premium restaurant in a superb location. Made an incredible fuss of my girlfriend for her birthday. Really made her feel special.

Always pleased with our food and service at Shed 5. Will be back again!

We were visiting from out of town and decided to check this place out. Food was pretty good for the most part meals came out within a good time frame. Initially it was quite hard to get a table although the place wasn t busy and we ended up sitting in the bar for a considerable amount of time without anyone taking a drink order from us either. The service was a little bit lacking overall I m however this was made up by the food. I ve been to this establishment a couple times before however first time it was a bit of a let down considering the amount that we paid for dinner. I hope this is an isolated incident .

Always a beautiful meal, great service. Come here everytime I am in Wellington, never disappointed.

Food was amazing! Really nice atmosphere and the architecture is stunning.

The window couldn't stay open and it's too warm to shut it, making the whole meal about keeping the window open wasn't fun. The table and chair are not the right height making sitting uncomfortable. Decent quality food, good atmosphere, overrated service.

Food was worth a picture but I didn't bother. Great food beautifully presented and excellent service. Had a great time. Would go again. Recommend the Jerusalem artichokes and custard flip.

Its OK. The stake was delecious. Not really fine dining experience, but good... the price is fine dining though.

Restaurant mainly for tourist. Risotto was ok. The oysters were great. Waitress was friendly and helpful but a little forgetful. My knife had some kind of sticky substance on it.
When you pay with credit card, the machine asks if you want to include a tip. This is the first time I've encountered this in NZ. Other places have never asked for a tip. It's my understanding that NZ is not a tipping culture as the waitstaff gets a decent salary unlike the US where waiters receive low pay and have to earn part of their paycheck from tips.

Sunny yet protected from the famous wind this is and stays a great place also as a work venue. I enjoy the food, which is unpretentious and favourfully prepared. I am a foody and I do consider this a great spot for that lovely family environment with excellent food and service. The only thing why this doesn't get a five star is that well that would just be crazy, because I can't just walk there living out East. Hope this helps.

Great space, busy & noisy. Attentive staff.Mid to high price bracket

Brilliant, attentive service and the food was divine. I'm back in Australia and dreaming off the incredible steak. Will definitely visit again.

Wow! Highly recommend. Great atmosphere, right on the water, delectable food, expertly presented, impeccable service. Of course, this comes at a price, but worth it.

Just happened to start the oyster season. I would recommend. Professional service

Pretentious and expensive, patchy service and did not meet my friend's strict dietary requirements although promised at booking. The place is convenient enough after a,show at TSB arena. Menu is mainly seafood based. Prices from moderate to high. Extensive drink list and fairly efficient service, but depend on who served you. Lighting is quite dark and atmosphere a bit noisy. Food was ok, as long as you're not vegan and must adhere to gluten free diet. They pride themselves as an upmarket restaurant, but I feel they did not deliver themselves. For this price, you can choose a better place with better food etc.

Delicious seafood, weren t rushed at all, good service.

Love Shed5! Our go to place for delicious seafood. Always recommend to our guests.

It's hard to find any fault with shed 5. Excellent service, food, wine, and atmosphere. The staff have always been really friendly and helpful. We found them particularly helpful when advising on wine choices. Will definitely return and I would strongly recommend for anyone looking for a special dinner out.

We had the best dinner at Shed 5 a fee nights ago. The service and food was outstanding. If you are in Wellington this place is a must.

Food wasn't that great. Tasteless Calamari. Fish in the seafood chowder were dry.
