Excellent food, excellent wine,excellent waiters,duck was slightly overcooked, but delicious food will definitely be going back. Went back a second time and once again was absolutely delicious had the 55 day aged steak for main and it was the nicest dish I have ever eaten,highly highly recommend shed 5,excellent food,excellent staff,excellent price

J. H.

First of all very surprised the waitress did not ask us how we would like our meat cooked. Eye fillet came more medium-well and the duck was cooked well-done which I rather eat rare to medium-rare however was never asked by our waitress. Secondly the curried cauliflower which comes with the duck was very over powering and took away the balance of the dish. At last we ordered a side which never arrived. Overall experience was good however not as good as I hoped and expected of a "upscale" restaurant

Loved the theme and atmosphere. Food was sublime. 😍 I had the grilled yellow fin tina and my partner had the grilled snapper. Both meals were absolutely delicious. Our waiter was amazing and really knew his stuff. Sadly, the speed of the drinks service was a major let-down, having to wait nearly 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive: 3 glasses of wine, a lemonade and a beer (still in it's bottle) Seems there is only 1 person working the bar/drinks area 😞

J. R.

Good was excellent, services could have been a bit better given it's a top restaurant, their Covid tracker didn't work for me and the Nemu was a bit minimalistic, thought lamb would have been on the menu. However, it was a lovely evening and they are operating during difficult times.

T. W.

We enjoyed our meal. Good service and priced well. Not sure that we would again as having been to Crab shack next door a couple of times we over it.

A. p.

Great service, great kai, highly recommend

L. O.

Delicious seafood menu, great location, attentive and friendly staff, a lovely dining experience. Pictured is the seafood risotto and seafood chowder

We dined at Shed 5 last night with our lovely friends to celebrate a birthday. The hardest thing was deciding what to pick from the delicious menu offerings. We were waited on by the truly friendly & professional Harry, his wonderful service only added to the enjoyment of our night. Sitting window side we had the perfect view of the lunar eclipse & our birthday girl was even surprised with a wee birthday plate from the kitchen with a treat that we sung HB to. Highly recommend this 5 star dining experience to others.

R. H.

Dinner was great, the desserts were so pretty you'd hardly want to eat them - but we did and they were wonderful. Edwin our waiter was very attentive, knowledgable and doing a fabulous job. Thanks for a great night.

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.

A. L.

Wow! Was really impressed with the friendly efficient service. The view is relaxing and the table is beautifully set out. We went for a light lunch and found the entrees to be a reasonable and good size for lunch along with some fresh bread and a few oysters. The food was delicious and a good variety of wines as well. We were disappointed that we couldn't get fresh oysters that day but the lightly battered ones were really tasty.

M. D.

This place has exquisitely cooked and prepared food, with a broad range of wines. The seafood here is great . Do not go if on a budget - the white tablecloths are a giveaway on the $$$ department. Best time to visit is when someone else is paying !

T.

Friendly, relaxed fine dining, exceptional food and a special thank you to Josh our waiter for the attentive, friendly and helpful service.

M. H.

Good service and food, but the separate dining room with the glass roof is terrible. It's like eating in an overheated glass house with poor ventilation. Be prepared to sweat. Recommend eating in the restaurant area instead.

L. S.

Loved the setting and location. Our waitress, Eleanor was delightful and enhanced our evening beautifully. Great food well presented and tasty. The scampi spaghetti was very good and the desserts Devine.

T. T.

I always come to shed five to relax and use their wifi system to send study notes and messages, over a iced glass of water and hot chocolate, atmosphere is great overlooking the Harbour, great venue for the family...

P. p.

The food was beautiful read the menu and you think yeh I don't know then order and even that first bite you are absolutely blown away, the flavour are textures are to die for😃

L. B. L.

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. 👌💯

G. A.

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 .

M. S.

Came here for the ladies lunch and was very impressed. Great service and good food! Very nice meal, thanks!

A. S.

We had the Valentines day menu. Great service, friendly staff and awesome food. Compliments to the chef. Will definitely be dinning here again

Y. H.

Shed5 provides the best and fresh seafood in town. We ordered blader market fish and duck roll, the taste was speechlessly delicious. You can pick a seat near window - the sun light would make your experience more wonderful!

R. K.

Excellent food and wine and the service was superb! Marko served us all night and his fantastic knowledge about the produce on menu made our meal such an enjoyable experience. He made amazing recommendations and I would 100% go back again. A little more expensive than your average but worth every penny!

A. D.

Nice place with great food and lovely atmosphere to escape the rain.

L. Z.

My friend and I had starter, main and dessert and all 3 courser were delicious and beautifully presented. I especially enjoyed the Ika mata as an entré. It was one of the nicest and most interesting raw fish dish I have ever tasted. Also the chocolate mouse with rosemary, tangelo and olive oil ice cream is worth a try.

K. P.

Great food that was surprisingly really filling. Our waitress Ines was awesome. We've had her twice now and she was absolutely on to it, friendly and knowledgeable. One of the best dining experiences in Wellington.

A. R.

Amazing food beautiful Fine Dining Staff wonderful truly knowledgeable A truly wonderful experience A excellent wine list Wonderful chessboard list

F. M.

delicious meal & some dishes are very particular & we hardly to see in other restaurants. Service always good too. What's why we got her every few months.

T.

What’s not to love? Fantastic food, particularly enjoyed the calamari and the vadouvan duck. Also the cocktail and mocktail selection is awesome!

J. E.

Our go to for a special dinner or for overseas visitors. Always first class service, New Zealand cuisine and wine! On the Wellington waterfront with plenty of nearby parking.

T. W.

Very unique restaurant inside out. Had lunch with colleague, the wait for main was a bit long, but it's worth the wait. Appetizer fish brandade was good (bread base was warm!), main was fish of the day (snapper), will give it 4.5 out of 5.

K. J.

What a delicious meal, a great atmosphere overlooking the water, excellent and attentive front of house team. A fantastic dinning experience all round. We both had the sea food chowder, it was to die for. The Pork Belly and the Lamb both cooked superbly and full of flavour. Highly recommend and we will certainly be back.

J.

Delicious food and excellent service - can't fault the place!

T. R.

Beautiful food. Absolutely stunning. I had 3 courses off the vegetarian menu (given by request) for lunch and they were absolutely delicious. The tomatoes on the starter were so sweet and the combination of mozzarella with the tomatoes, basil, crutons and incredible roasted garlic, was perfect. I would have preferred the gnocci came with the same garlic as the starter, rather than the caramelised shallots, which were really nice and sweet but I am not into onions in any capacity. If you love caramelised onion though, you will ADORE this. The only other thing I would have done differently myself is a little more sauce with the gnocci (but that's because I am a sauce-a-holic!). The gnocci itself was so cheesy and delicious. So soft. And the spinach with the gnocci was a perfect addition in soothing the richness of the gnocci and sauce. The dessert menu was quite small, which was disappointing. But the chocolate mousse cake was beyond words. It had cake texture and then when you put it in your mouth, it dissolves like mousse. It is STUNNING. The olive oil ice-cream was something I wasn't expecting to like but was perfect in complimenting the richness of the cake. The ice-cream had a lovely light lemon flavour, and was not too sweet. Overall, an absolute delightful experience. A beautiful meal. We went on First Table, so having 50% off the price was a wonderful end to an incredible meal.

G. P.

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.

T. R.

Fabulous meals exceptional Staff. Absolutely will dine here again 😍

M.

Went to dinner here whilst visiting Wellington, on a Saturday night, seems to be the place the to go! ordered our meals which seemed to take an age to come. Meals were big I guess value for money, until your Waiter fills your wine glass up like its a bottomless coffee... Service was ok.

J. S.

Awesome experience, pleasant staff. Salmon was cooked to perfection, love the egg on the mash with my steak

D. D.

The service was impeccable. Every member of the staff was polite, friendly, and accommodating. I was there with a large group and a set menu, and I would suggest getting their usual menu. The entree options were squid, fish, or pickled beetroot. I don't like fish or seafood. I'm not fond of beetroot, but I was willing to try it since it had ricotta. The beetroot itself was fairly flavorless, but there was a beetroot dip spooned on the plate full of that overpowering beetroot flavor. The ricotta was more a condiment than an ingredient, a small dollop on the side. I scraped what I could of the ricotta and left the rest. The gnocchi for my main was actually very good. However, the desert was supposed to be chocolate cake with cherries. The cake was good, but I couldn't make sense of the "cherries". I don't know what it was, but it wasn't cherries. The faux-cherries and the awkward beetroot dish almost ruined my experience. However, the staff and the main kept me from leaving a bad review. Besides, I would have ordered differently if it wasn't a set menu and probably had a wonderful experience.

K.

Amazing food and service!!!

S. C.

A great dining experience at Shed 5. Difficult to find in the dark (we are out-of-towners and it is hidden away at the back of Queens Wharf), but the friendly staff, warm atmosphere and culinary delights quickly dissipated the initial orienteering frustrations. Everyone in our group of 7 was impressed with their meals, and the waiter was very helpful and attentive. My 3 gluten free courses were delicious, with no adverse reaction from eating out here. Overall a perfect night of celebration for our family.

S. K.

The most amazing meal, great venue. Great staff. Everything perfect.

c.

Amazing food, impeccable service. Will definately be back.

H. K. N.

Great place for anniversaries and special occasions. Expensive meals and drinks but the food is worth every penny. Service is immaculate and the experience here is unmatched. Cocktails took a while so would suggest taking advantage of their extensive variety of wines.

S. C.

5 stars for Shed 5. Exceptional service, fresh food and wonderful views of the harbour.

D. M.

We were there for a wedding, the food was amazing! The service was excellent, the staff were knowledgeable (even asking if my wife had pregnancy specific food needs as we were with a table of expectant mums). They have a great fishmonger and their seafood options are on-point

T.

excellent. Good food, good service, nice location.

a.

Food, service & atmo were so good we're going back with family tomorrow.

T. A.

The food here was amazing, my wife and I shared oysters, some breads and dips and both had the (3rd) market fish option with Salmon and Tuna respectively. Everything was amazing, they service was great and they even surprised us with a little after dinner treat and a lovely "Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary" message. Try all their oyster flavours if you can, you won't regret it!

H. K.

Brilliant experience. We took my family visiting from Auckland on one of the week days in January. The sun was shining and we sat outside with a small dog. The team there were kind to our 5 year old who had a birthday that day with a song / birthday plate and even offered fresh fish for our 15 year old dog who travelled all the way from Auckland. We had such an amazing time there and way we were looked after. I have been there many times but this day was very special. We will be back for more of our special occasions and thanks again team! (Food was excellent of course!)

C. P.

I didn’t eat but the coconut margarita was fantastic and the place has a nice feel to it. Very friendly!

S. R.

Best service I’ve ever had. Definitely the definition of silver service. Very high quality cuts of meat and beautifully presented. Lovely selection of wines. Only downside is it was a bit loud but they were very busy with graduation and Christmas dinners.

S. T.

Had the shed 5 fish and chips and was a little disappointed as it was a bit average flavour wise, well cooked though. The beer selection was also disappointing, there is so much more out there these days compared to what was on offer.

K. O.

Excellent food, good ambience. The food was great and the portion sizes were fine. This is NOT a cheap restaurant, but happily, this isn't one of those restaurants which run on the principle of "the more you pay, the smaller the portions". So we enjoyed good food and walked out with satisfied tummies. Have posted photos with comments separately. The white truffle and mushroom mascarpone on that day was just sublime.

C. M.

We were a group of three ladies and we had a lovely evening. Our waiter Harry was courteous, friendley, and very helpful with our choices on the menu. We had a variety of food entrée and mains Pork Belly, Fish and the steak. Everyone enjoyed their mains and my steak was cooked to perfection. We also had desserts and a cheese board. All round it was a perfect evening and would recommend Shed 5 to others.

A. S.

Fantastic food and friendly service, topped off with lovely views of the water

R.

Had a wonderful evening, great service from Julie (thank you) , food was delicious, fresh and the wine topped it all off - thanks for a great experience. Wow the food was awesome Service from bar to restaurant was just fantastic Would highly recommend value for money. Thanks for a yummy as lunch!

E. F.

Great service and view. The entry and dessert was good but the main was a bit of a disappointment. With the price they charge, you'd expect better quality.

M. M.

Thoroughly enjoyed your New Year Eve degustation

A.

First time coming to this restaurant. At first I was apprehensive as it's not the type of restaurant I would go to. It's very classy and caters for customers with fine tastes and deep pockets. However because it was a much loved staff members farewell and she chose this place I decided it was best to put my pre judgements aside and go with the flow. Upon arriving our staff were warmly welcomed into the main bar area,where we were seated until the main restaurant opened for lunch at 12pm. I was able use their toilet facilities while waiting and the toilets are lovely and have a grand decor theme to them along with some lovely hand creme that smells delicious and added a nice homely touch.

J. B.

Good food and service, went for our wedding anniversary. Very odd proportion tables vs chair height though, we felt we were stooping down to the table, ie chair too tall for tables. Everyone looked the same and heard another couple commenting the same.

C. C.

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.

S. S.

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

J.

Amazing service. Very good food.

A. I.

We had the Waiheke oysters to start and then a risotto amd market fish for lunch here today. All of the food was exceptionally well prepared and an absolute delight for the taste buds. The serving staff made the experience great as well as the waterfront location. Thanks to the entire team and absolutely recommend.

P.

Brilliant seafood, top quality at a matching price. Will be back....

J.

Our 50th wedding anniversary celebration with family. Great food and wine and fantastic service @ Wellington prices. A most enjoyable evening.

P. N.

A few of us went to Shed 5 for the Ladies Lunch... absolutely looked after by the friendly efficient waiting people. The set menu of 3 courses, and wine was soooo reasonable... the food was divine. We definitely will go there again. A fabulous dining experience, thanks guys 😍

E. W.

Great greeting on arrival for four of us there for my mother's birthday dinner. I always start with a rating of 5 for restaurants and take points away based on the experience throughout the night. Can I just say, I've come to Shed 5 multiple times and tonight was rather disappointing. The good stuff: - seated by the window - maitre d organised a way for us to extend our table time (may not have worked out in our favour, should've just left it at the regular sitting time slot) - knowledgeable wait staff - Duck entree was amazing as usual and love the balsamic they use for the bread - creme brulee was tasty The bad stuff: - weird way of ordering. I usually order for multiple people (have done so with other visits here), but this time it was everyone order per seat... and got cut off by wait staff. Annoying habit I hate. - the overall dining experience felt almost purposefully dragged out with no fillers in between (I.e. offer more drinks perhaps) water glasses went empty for about 20 mins! I noticed other areas being served well by their wait staff, so maybe ours was a dud - my main was super oily and super salty. I had to get others to taste it to make sure i wasn't imagining it because I know my taste buds can be sensitive sometimes, but they agreed my meal was salty. Needless to say I couldnt eat much of it. - long wait between main, dessert and after dinner drinks. Last time we were here, while its not a NZ custom, we tipped our wait staff really well and unfortunately this time we paid our bill and left. Not the usual Shed 5 standard, so don't base going there on this review alone. I will still go back with a new season's menu, but yeah, left tonight feeling a bit disappointed.

T. P.

I had twelve Waiheke oysters with a glass of Mumm followed by pan-fried Snapper with thrice-cooked chip and slaw washed down with a Hawkes Bay Pinot Gris. The food was excellent and the service superb. Quick, knowledgeable and efficient. Couldn’t have been a better experience.

D. L.

Love this restaurant. Great food. Great ambiance.

G.

Fabulous meal and great service great night out

S. S.

Good to see Shed 5 open again with their fabulous menu, friendly staff and plenty of space between tables. The hāpuka and seafood chowder were superb, as was the lamb. Consistently high quality and good value for fine dining in a relaxed setting.

w.

My fiance had the kingfish with smoked mussel creme fraiche, green onion fried potatoes, watercress and caper salsa and the salmon starter. Both were absolutely delish. I had the fish and chips for the main and it was a delight to have this simple kiwi favourite executed so well with a thick, fresh fillets of snapper and a crispy batter.

C.

We both had fish bit dry. Extras $12 for Asparagus good value got 12 pieces. Waiter very good

P. Y.

Great food and great service !!

R. S.

Post- lockdown fine dining at its best. Delicious food and excellent service. Being less full will be hard financially but meant we had an exceptional meal delivered at a relaxing pace. This is a seafood restaurant and the hapuka main was near faultless, with friendly service and accurate advice around the choices on offer. Thanks for a lovely evening.

L.

100% exquisitely cooked and prepared food

R. O.

A warm welcome was the beginning of the great service experience. The food was superb with a difficult choice of favourite between the ikamata and the risotto. Edwin delivered congenial and professional service throughout the meal which allowed the business discussion to flow easily. I will be happy to visit here again, hopefully in the not too distant future.

M. B.

Best service and best food you could ask for. Stunning! Our waitress (lovely Canadian) was simply gave us the best service we've ever had. Double her hourly rate!

L. W.

This is a restaurant I turn to first when hosting international visitors. NZ produce, prepared in an NZ style. Subtle, yet friendly, well informed front of house staff. The meals are consistently interesting, stylishly presented, with a great variety of choice. The wine list is extensive and of an excellent standard.

M. D.

The menu was interesting; the food was delicious and the staff friendly, helpful and attentive. I love eat right next to the harbour in the middle of town. It was quite expensive. But I shall be happy to go back.

J. C.

Really good experience. Extensive menu. There are other things apart from fish. The restaurant had a unique exiting and fun atmosphere, made by the decor and location. The staff also add excitement with good humour to the experience. I’m not a massive fish lover, however, my family who are enjoyed their food very much. The staff are really knowledgable about their food and drinks and always happy to advise if needed. Really recommended.

Our waitress then ushered us into the restaurant and I give her 10/10 for her welcoming mannerisms and professionalism. She was very attentive to our group and made sure we understood anything that confused us on the menu and made the whole experience of fine dining enjoyable for us. Some of our staff have never been to a.restaurant that does fine dining and to have them leave with nothing but a smile on their face really was nice. The food itself was delicious. Most of us are big eaters and we thought looking at the portions that we would need to go to McDonald's after wards but we were pleasantly surprised when we found ourselves rubbing our content stomachs. The presentation along with the taste of the food was superb. I highly recommend shed 5 to all walks of life. Dont let the flash exterior and business men put you off coming here. It is a grand dining experience surely not to be missed.

C. O.

Beautiful meal. Worth the money.

G. H.

Although the speciality is seafood, there is a good range of options for all tastes. All dishes delivered to the table were beautifully prepared and presented. Great wine options and friendly service. It's not an inexpensive option by any means but worth a night out on a special occasion.

A. C.

Ladies lunch was amazing

W.

Shed 5 is the best in town when it comes to a seafood dining experience. They have perfected their menu, and our knowledgable waiter Edwin gave us the most attentive service. Very impressed.

R. H.

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.

A.

Great food. Service was okay. Made a booking and asked if we could sit in one of the vacant tables but the host refused stating that "people who book earlier get better tables (even though no one sat there)". Not good for our first impression at this nice restaurant. Service could be improved.

M. M.

The food is heavenly and our waitress was exceptional - all set on the side of the blue waters of the harbour. A great place for a celebration or top treat! I highly recommend.

J. H.

We don't often go out to a high-end restaurant so when we do splash out it is really nice to feel like we have made the right decision. Shed 5 is very well appointed - the decor is amazing, the staff are friendly and helpful without being overbearing, the toilets were absolutely amazing (like something out of a five-star hotel!). And of course the most important part is the food which was just incredible. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a top-notch dining experience in Wellington city.

B.

Nice spot. Well known. Hard to fault.

R.

Great meal and thank you Steve for wine selection

F. “. S.

This restaurant is fabulous the food is outstanding the service is excellent. The view and the environment of the waterfront adds to the ambiance and the seafood dishes available. If you are travelling to Wellington and a looking for a great seafood experience then this restaurant should be on your list. If you're lucky enough you will actually get to meet the English chef who is one of the friendliest people and a master of his craft.

H. A.

Delicious seafood, weren’t rushed at all, good service.

J. R. G.

Went there for a rare date night. Was not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service equal to that. From the moment we arrived we were treated as if we were welcome guests - not just a potential sale. Our wait staff were quietly attentive and friendly. A slight error in the order meant that we ended up having something we would not normally have - but who cares it was great and we will order it again. And - to round the evening off - it did not cost the earth. We'll be back!!

I.

Overall experience of food and service was excellent. Everything one expects from high end restaurant.

K.

Had a drink here on Wednesday night, absolutely awesome service. The bartender was very friendly 🙂 definitely go back next time we are in Wellington.

A.

It's expensive, but its delicious and the service is great

E. B.

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.

T.

The best restaurant, food was amazing and the service was excellent. Thanku to our waiter Erik

A.

The food and service was amazing! We were early, that was no problem. Very clean and very professional staff.

B. b. P. p.

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.

R.

5 star venue which is just what we wanted.

h. n.

Was a special occasion for my husband and I. Edwin looked after us well at first but sadly it got busy and we were forgotten about. No desert or coffee offered. Bit of a shame but food and atmosphere was lovely.

e.

Had to wait for a table but well worth the wait. Beautiful steak... great wine list. ... service was excellent... particularly Faye... would not hesitate to go back

C. S.

Good balanced menu with very tasty food that met expectations. Attentive staff nicely brought over an extra birthday treat at the end of the night. Sommelier gave some very good recommendations for the mains we selected. Only negative was that the chairs are in need of replacement/refurbishment, perhaps by some more comfortable ones.

J.

We had a fabulous meal, the food was devine & our waiter was fantastic & very knowledgeable about all the dishes & wine matches

S. S.

Had the oysters and lamb, both were amazing

A. S.

I have had great meals here in the past, but today I felt really let down in general by my meal/experience. I ordered the Ceviche and the Lamb Saddle and a Tomato Juice. Everything just seemed a little slower than I'd expect, esp since the restaurant wasn't overly busy at the late lunch time I went. My ceviche was fancy looking, but just didn't hit the right notes. I am unsure what the fish was, but it lacked the tenderness and texture of a dish I have eaten many many times before in other restaurants. There was another longish wait for my main, the Lamb, which had multiple very tough parts( meat) and the broad beans were chewy as well. Taste was ok, not what I would have expected from a nearly $40 main. My drink sat empty and uncleared for half my meal. I expected better all around and left feeling I had spent quite a lot and it had missed the mark on this occasion.

A.

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.

F.

Great service would like to mention Harry for his personal touch with all his customers. Food was fantastic particularly the white bait fritter.

J.

Lamb rump meal was beautifully cooked

H.

Outstanding. Fantastic service and excellent food. Even a celebratory complimentary dessert. Its the finer things that make this place 5 star. Highly recommend

L. Y.

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.

V.

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

N. B.

Great meal, we had the bluff oysters, which were super fresh and served in their shells. For main we had the WOAP menu. Flounder was amazing. The real highlight was the service...absolutely excellent. Kudos to you for maintaining such a high standard in 'she'll be right's NZ!!!

O.

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!

N. L.

Food: 3.5/5 subtle taste main. Mediocre dessert. Service: 5/5 friendly staff, professional trained. Waiting time: 2/5 almost an hour Portion size: 2/5 not great, even with sides I was left hungry still Pricing: expensive. given their location, it has to be expensive. Atmosphere: 4/5 elegant modern design My experience overall was mediocre, I'm nowhere near impressed or amazed.

Z. G.

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.

L.

Great service, managed to get a walk in table for 7 on a Friday night. Very generous portions of amazing food.

P.

Excellent food and service. One of our favourite places for Family celebrations.

H.

Fancy seafood restaurant. Prices are a bit high but considering a very friendly service and yummy food. I believe it’s Ok! Seafood chowder is amazing and not as thick as others.

K. H.

Food was amazing, especially the chocolate truffles. Waiter was hard to get attention from at times, but Maitré d was superb. Would have been 5 stars if waiter was more attentive.

D. P.

We celebrated a milestone wedding anniversary at Shed 5 on Saturday night with our original wedding party. Everything was perfect: the location, the food and wine, the service, and the ambiance. We really appreciated the little creative acknowledgment of the occasion from the kitchen just before the dessert was served too. The whole occasion was totally memorable and our out-of-town guests were very impressed. Shed 5 has now become our restaurant for special occasions or whenever we want to treat ourselves and others. Thanks so much.

D. R.

Delightful lunch, good vegetarian and gluten free options.. Seafood risotto very good, although I think the addition of saffron would be beneficial. Service excellent. They even created a "Happy Birthday" platter for my wife.

A. L.

Can't fault anything. We were lucky to have the best wait staff. Food was super delicious. Rich and flavourful. Wouldn't have been 5* if we had another wait staff who we observed to have an attitude.

J. N.

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.

O.

Excellent service and food. The chef was able to prepare a special meal to cater to allergies. Everything tasted amazing!

J.

Pretty, pretty good. Lunch menu Snapper. Wish I'd had the whitebait ..always with the terrible food envy.

J.

Service and dinner was excellent, sea food chowder was the best I have ever had, devine.

J. K.

Friendly staff, the sous vide steak was tender and the crust was delicious. The confit duck was disappointing, but the lychee and candied orange peel salad was a decadent and refreshing finish to an overall tasty meal. The wait staff were courteous and attentive. Thank you.

T.

Amazing. The best restaurant experience I have ever had. The food. The service. Everything perfect.

R. S.

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.

P.

Very friendly, but professional staff. Excellent food. Will definitely return next time I am in Wellington

s. s.

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.

Last night my son and I celebrated my birthday at Shed 5 Wellington. We have two fine dining experiences a year so we were was really looking forward to it. At the time of booking I was asked if it was for something special and I said it was a birthday, but nothing eventuated during the evening. I mentioned this as I was paying and was told to go back and sit at the table as it had been forgotten. …I declined at that point. The meal was slightly disappointing as the groper was dry and a bit over cooked on top and the truffle filled Yorkshire pudding on my son’s plate was inedible due to the taste. No one came to ask if we were happy with our meal, nor was this question asked as we left. I eventually caught a waitresses’ attention and after a little discussion she said we could have a plain one with no filling. When it finally arrived my son had finished the rest of his meal. The waiter who returned it (a very pleasant young fellow) said lots of people left it on their plates. Wouldn't the kitchen need to know this and make some changes?? The crème brulee was outstanding, but the chocolate mousse that the waiter recommended, was a little disappointing. Small and not that tasty. I also wasn't offered another glass of wine. I would have declined this as I was driving but I thought this was an oversight. All in all, pleasant surroundings and lovely staff but they need a little more training. I feel a little disappointed today and would only give this experience 3/5.

J. R.

Service and food are fantastic.

H. 1.

Great service, great food, good for gluten free, only down Point was when the efpos bill came up on the efpos machine, did we want to tip or not. Sorry that is not on, if I want to tip I would tip the person who gave me very good service, although I do have a policy of not tipping.

J.

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.

s. E.

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

A.

Fantastic food and drinks, thanks so much. Waiters could have been less intrusive

J.

Highly recommend this restaurant for both its elegantly delicious meals, but also for its wonderful service.

I.

The place to go for amazing seafood!

T.

Fresh seafood. Attentive staff with a good wine list. Menu is based on fish caught that day! Book early as it can be busy

M.

Excellent food. Perfectly cooked chowder. The grouper was exceptional. Lovely dining room with sea views.

A.

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..

H.

Excellent service and good food. Was served by Mario, he was thoughtful and eager to make our dining experience a wonderful one.

M.

Great food and service.

G.

Food was fabulous but the service provided by Edwin was exceptional. Thanks for a wonderful evening out.

Had an awesome night out with the girls at this restraunt the food was beautiful! The catch of the day, prawn and crayfish entree was Devine loved it!Our table was right by the window so we could look out to the night dock... The guy who was the waiter that served us came off a bit rude and upset my mate for trying to rush our orders... However he apologized so that was ok. Throughly enjoyed my night at this place, enjoyed the music the xmas displays and all awesome work shed-5! 5/5 from me and I will be seeing you again. Nga Mihi Nui

T.

Great location. Tables nicely spaced. Duck and shiitake spring rolls entree divine. Suffers from a limited beer list.

D. L.

Nice atmosphere staff can't do enough for you but the food was very average no flavor and tiny soup was in a shot glass.

C. T.

At the more expensive end, but fantastic food and a wonderful location. Perfect for a special night out followed by a walk along the waterfront.

B. E.

Great place for every occasion! Had some dinner, it was excellent. Love to come back.

l.

Always excellent cuisine and service made extra special by its outlook to boats, water and Wellingtonians parading past. A Wellington treasure.

E. P.

Excellent food and service. The Wellngton dining scene is lucky to have a maître d to the standard of Parlo supported by a great team, insuring the experience is of consistent high quality every time.

D.

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.

K.

A lot of effort has gone into designing the decode and ambiance which has given a strange movie set feel to the place. The food is ok but take a while to get to you. Very good calamarie. If you really like crab this is the place for you other wise it's just loud.

C.

Absolutely 💯. Great, food and service. Highly recommend.

L.

Fabulous meals, service and location. Cheers to the Waiheke Island lad behind the bar👌 ♥
