As newly arrived locals we went into Shuck on Tedder for a drink at one of their two bars. We were rudely told we werent welcome - specifically I was told we are having none of it. We dont want people coming to our bars and are closing them now. Would I dine there? Not likely. Go if you dont mind rude and poor service

A pretty average experience. Constantly asking waiters to refill wine and water glasses. I had the Kingfish Cerviche which was killed by too much sauce. The Snapper filet on risotto was certainly a lot better. Expected better service particularly as we spent over $880 for our group . Certainly a disappointing experience.

A very underwhelming experience. The food is pretty average at best. The menu is limited, the famed crab lasagne was nothing special, the steak was overcooked, the desserts were either sickly sweet or lacked flavour and depth. The person who seemed to be the owner has probably started the restaurant during school holidays when she was a high school teacher. They seemed to think that hiking up the prices would give the restaurant a higher status. I didn't get anything special about the atmosphere that some reviewers were revving about. The service was otherwise generally good, but the whole experience
