Q. Do I need to make a reservation?

A. At The Crab Shack Wellington we operate on a walk-in basis. If a table isn’t immediately available when you arrive, we operate an efficient text-waitlist system, allowing you to explore our wonderful waterfront in the meantime. If you do have a bigger group, please flick us a message or give us a call to organise a reservation.

Online reservations are available for groups up to 14 www.crabshackwlg.co.nz If you do have a bigger group, please flick us a message or give us a call to organise a reservation.
