Wow , what a restaurant. Even better on a blue sky day. We had lunch there mid week. Full of business men as you would expect and a few tourists. The bluff oysters were out of this world. Service was excellent and friendly. The food was inspired , well-cooked and presented. I wish I lived in Wellington!

This would rate in our top 10 dining experiences during our 3 week trip. The freshest fish and seafood every day. Great service, wonderful menu, and wonderful view of the water.

This is a quality restaurant with great service and food. It specialises in fish, and has a well priced lunch menu. A very good wine list compliments the food and service. It is about to undergo a major revamp after the owners have recently signed a new long term, lease

Food and service is great, decor is getting a bit tired and hasn't been refreshed since it opened in the early 90's. Price is a bit steep but probably reflects the quality of the food.

We had our Hotel make reservations at Shed 5 and requested a window table. When we arrived, the guy behind the bar and the person who seated guests (Oliver, who supposely was an assistant manager) took us to a table that was away from the windows. Noticing that most of the window tables were empty, we asked to be seated... More

And great value bluff oysters promo. A fabulous spot by the waterfront. The service needs improvement not really attentive .... and the manager perhaps could be less sour faced!

The service and food was absolutely fantastic. The fish is among the best in Wellington. The service was not excessively attentive, yet was always around when needed. The portions were just right, and the taste was amazing. The Cesar salad had an interesting twist and an impressive presentation. We will certainly be back. Highly recommended!

Just to say despite other reviews we had a superb evening at Shed 5. Although they were fully booked we were asked if we would like to wait for a table. We were so pleased we did as the food was very good (fish) and the atmosphere buzzing. A good night out in Wellington in a great location.

This restuarnat had a buzz about it on a Saturday evening in March. The service was excellent , we enjoyed 'posh' fish and chips and a delightful taste plate of desserts.

Wow - talk about a train wreck waiting to happen - no it was worse than that, it had crashed already. Honestly, this place was a disaster zone. Don't know if it was just due to our timing but that shouldn't be an excuse for such bad service or terrible food. We were in Wellington for a concert and wanted... More
