Reviews
"Truly well and disappointed that I chose Shed 5 as my last meal in Welly. First of all, the service really sucked. Our waiter was mellow and struck us as very dispassionate about his job. Our meals - the Fish and Chips and Miso Market Fish - while tasty (but really, I've had better elsewhere), took forever to get served. Not even sorry. I took the liberty to order our dessert earlier to avoid a long wait and this was even before we finished our mains. Mr. Dispassionate took the order and I mentioned that I'd like the service faster hence placing the order early. No dessert came. We asked twice and told that we were in a bit of a hurry. I was so frustrated, I cancelled the order. They were unapologetic. Only mentioned "Yeah your desserts were held back by that table with a large dessert order." That's really beside the point? At least tell me I have to wait long so I can decide better instead of making me wait for nothing?? Very unpleasant experience for a place that was highly recommended."
"Great dinner experience at Shed 5. Salmon tartare was nice. Dry-aged beef was excellent."
"Lovely room on the water. Mostly good service. Good bread, although you pay for it. Fish and chips was nothing amazing, with the triple cooked chips a bit soggy. The pannacotta had a nice wobble."
"This place is fantastic. The food and service are superb. The chowder is the best I’ve ever had and the fish of the day was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and simply delicious. My wife had the fish and chips and she said it was excellent too there’s a good wine choice and it’s all fairly priced. The staff are well trained and presented. The place has a nice buzz, but it’s also intimate. If you like fish, this takes some beating."
"Shed 5, located in the heart of the city, offers a unique dining experience that combines the freshest ingredients with contemporary culinary techniques. The Market fish Crudo, which I ordered as a starter, was a standout dish. The fish was incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned, making for a truly delicious and satisfying start to the meal. I ordered the Market fish with shrimp zong bao for my main course, which was equally impressive. The flavours were bold and well-balanced, and the shrimp added a nice textural contrast to the dish. The presentation was also noteworthy, with the fish and shrimp arranged in a visually appealing way on the plate. For dessert, I indulged in the decaf Affogato, a delightful combination of espresso and ice cream. The flavours blended together perfectly, providing a satisfying and sweet finish to the meal. While the food was top-notch, the service fell short of my expectations. Our waiter was not particularly attentive and made no apologies for messing up my order. Moreover, when I accidentally knocked a spread over onto the table, the waiter said he would clean it up, but he only did once I asked him to. Given that we had 8 people at our table and spent over $750 on dinner, I expected a higher level of service for the price point. I recommend Shed 5 for the food but be prepared for subpar service."
