The service was super awesome, the food was delicious and the ambience was great too. The whitewine clams are a MUST with their hot bread and butter. The bread is honestly amazing and pairs really well with sauces. We ordered; Spiced Calamari 10/10 when hot, Shrimp Mac and Cheese 7/10, Hot Wings 7/10 and Moonshell Clams 10/10. Also ordered Black Pepper Crab Claws which were 8/10 but at this point we were pretty full. The drinks are AMAZING and a must to cut through all the oil, salt and fat. Overall, 9/10 experience. This place is saved for the special occasions.
Absolutely fantastic seafood restaurant in wellington central. Their crab pot is awesome! Mussels had perfect taste of butter and garlic. They also do some daily deals. Highly recommended for great beer with seafood. This place can get very busy even on weekdays! Chicken wings with hot sauce gets my special attention. Definitely coming back again!
I had king crab, clams with white wine which is I mostly like, Taco and fish n chips also I had church road Chardonnay and their tap wine. Their front service was good and the food was good. But the king crab was bit dry and less flavour so I don’t think it was completely not worth but wasn’t that terrible but I really enjoyed their tap wine it’s more than worth and perfect comparison with clam and hot bread and fish n chips. There’s any word to say it’s just good. I definitely come back. Please try their tap wine it’s really worth to try. I had 1 litre guys because it was so good.
Came here for late lunch, very slow service. We really enjoyed the clam chowder and bread. The squid was soggy. the blue berry mock-tail is yummy
Very good, I love the soft shell crabs here, been here more than thrice. Service and food has never let us down. I would recommend it to any person who loved seafood, its affordable better than the much expensive restaurants on Wellington water front.
It was a couple of months ago we came here, second time attending and we were well satisfied with the meal, flavoursomeAnd very filling, took a wee bit longer to come but the waitress was very informative all the way, we weren’t bothered she was lovely, service was great meal was delicious will be back for another visit
I had dinner at the crab shack on a recent visit to Wellington. Had a few mixed dishes but I had the steamed cockles and mussels for my main in a tom yum soup. The clams and mussels were beautifully cooked. So tender. The only negative was the soup in which the clams and mussels were cooked was just a bit too salty otherwise a great meal.
