"Lovely experience with our family on a sunny wellington day. We sat outside and were promptly served by the staff. I personally had the caesar salad and also the calamari. both were so fresh and very tasty. The salad had lots of toppings on it however the dressing was a little watery, the mozzarella garlic bread could have been cooked a little bit longer as it wasn't really melted or toasted. The calamari was seasoned nicely and cooked well. I had a creaming soda mocktail which was very refreshing and fruity tasting lovely. Wasnt much of an option for kids so that wasnt great. Needed a better kids menu. Everyone else said their meals were very good also. Would 100% go again."

"Have been here before but a long time ago. Was really good to have afternoon brunch with my family and the mussel deal was great! Definitely recommend and will return again."

"Tried 5 different dishes, and 3 were satisfying and sad to say 2 wasn't as much. Restaurant can be a little noisy, maybe due to the enclosed place. Dish 1. Softshell crab wasn't as spectacular as mentioned in other reviews to us, and the portion is way too little (3pcs) for NZ$23!!! (Not recommended) Dish 2. Seafood fettuccine. Fettuccine is overcooked and too soggy. (Not recommended) Dish 3. Shake Chowder. Flavourful and thick that's pack with lots of fresh seafood Dish 4. The 'Cheezy As' was fantastic, with just the right amount of garlic flavour and cheese goodness. Dish 5. Cajun catch of the day. Fish is fresh and decent portion. Drinks Banana spilt can't really taste the banana and totally can't taste hazelnut. Only taste the whipped cream and chocolate. Feijoa lemonade was a bottled drink but tasted nice."

"Hey there Wellington foodies. If you're on the hunt for a tasty and filling meal in Wellington, I have to recommend the Crab Shack on the waterfront. And if you're looking for something extra special, you should try The Shack Stack. My dish was an absolute powerhouse of flavor. Two juicy rosemary garlic sirloin steaks that are cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The spuds are the perfect sidekick to this protein-packed dish. I must give a thumbs up to the presentation - the steaks and mushrooms are stacked on the plate and the spuds are piled up alongside. It looks almost too pretty to eat... almost. The portion size is generous and will leave you feeling satisfied and happy. Overall, I highly recommend checking out the Crab Shack and giving The Shack Stack a try. The food is amazing, the location is nice, and the interior and decor is something unique."
