Booked a large table on a Sunday for brunch and it was so amazing, had the best waiter, super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is so relaxed and nice and the food was amazing! We had 18 people with us and every single person loved the food and would come back! Great options for dairy free and gluten free as well.
Mine and my partners first date night in a long time, and we weren't disappointed!
Service was friendly, efficient and the food was to die for!
The best restaurant and service we've had in yonks! The ambience was lovely; loved how it catered well for families that we saw dining their too. (we're expecting our second child, so good family restaurants are hard to cone by!)
I cannot recommend this place enough, and will be back in future �
First time back after reopening, food still great as far as i remember. Dreamy interior and very instgramable! Really impressed with the food and its generous portion, staff were very friendly as well. Price is a little high than other places but overall very pleasant experience :)
Great food, amazing & cozy garden ambience and very friendly service. We have requested to write a ‘Happy Birthday’ on the dessert plate for my friend’s birthday and they willingly did it. Some restaurants will hesitate or will say “they can’t” but the garden shed didn’t disappoint us. Will definitely come back and highly recommend this place. ❤️👏🥳
Nice ambiance
Good food
Value for money (even without first table)
Staff were just ok
Perfect for a sunny sunday evening dinner during summer
Went there for brunch last week, love the cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The cocktail menu looks intriguing, will definitely give it a go next time. The burger and fries were awesome.
Nice ambience here with rustic botanic themed. The food is ok, for big breakfast bacon can be cooked more crispier on the side but middle still moist, this one still soggy for me. Pancake is good taste but only lil bit too flat & maple syrup can be separated because its got absorbed on the pancake then its gone and become dry pancake. Overall, its nice place to chill and have a brunch and the food is just ok.
first of all, your staff are super friendly and thank you for running after us as we had left our bag there when we had left. your two lovely ladies were amazing. 5/5 stara for services
Atmosphere was great, it was so nice to have an outdoor area while can relax and chatted while having a dog friendly place. My pup was super happy to find a place to chill instead life staying at home while we go out for dinner
My friends and myself enjoyed the food there. we ordered the sharing platter, slightly different than I would imagine as I was expecting my meats.but it was completely my fault that Ii didn't read the whole menu and just ordered a platter.
we have also order the market fish and the lamb.
All the food are exceptional and we enjoyed every bit there.

I’ve heard some good reviews on this place and was super excited to try it out when they reopened after a period shutdown. This rustic looking restaurant bar creates an excellent ambience and offers an one-of-a-kind dining experience.
There is a indoor dining and a courtyard dining area. The outdoor dining patio is beautifully decorated by pots and garden tools, a great escape from the hustle and bustle.
They serve big portions of American dishes. The dishes were nicely presented however the taste could be better for the dollar you pay.
The Eye Fillet was a little over cooked, the hand cut kumara was good though. The Lamb Ragu was nicely flavored, but the pappardelle was a little meshy.
The Farmer’s Shed Sharing Platter was great. Massive portion with a great variety for small tapas. The bread was warm and tasted nice and buttery. The fried chicken was nice and crispy. The fried onion rings were super tasty. The cured meat, meatballs were nicely flavored as well.
The waiter and waitresses were very friendly and showed good hospitality. The dining experience overall was excellent but the food was slightly disappointing.

Very good! They were closed for some time but have reopened!
The lamb ragu was the only dish that disappointed. The noodles were overcooked hot and soggy. A bit too hot, almost like microwave... so bit disappointing.
The steak however was matched with really nice beef jus, the burger was bloody amazing and delicious, fries were crunchy and yummy, the pork belly was crunchy and delicious.
Had a great enjoyable experience. Just the lamb ragu was a bit silly. Otherwise would be 5 stars!

We held a baby shower brunch in the Garden area for 15. The atmosphere was pure magic, it felt like a secret garden. We took many beautiful photos of beautiful food and great memories.
Service was very good, everyone got what they ordered. A 20min delay when we arrived due to delays with the last party packing up, I would book for 12:30 rather than 12 if I did it again.
Food was lovely, presentation on point. Smore's were very cool. We had fun exploring the drinks list. My vegetarian friend was very happy with her meal.
$20 deposit pp was cited for group booking, which I dutifully collected from my guests, but payment of an individuals balance on the day could have got pretty messy for guests as they left, because the system wants payment for specific items, rather than payment of a arbitrary amount towards an overall bill. Thankfully the manager knew the system well and could make it work.
Overall, myself and my guests had a wonderful time and will happily recommend the Garden Shed as a gorgeous little jewel of Mt Eden.
The restaurant's interior design is really cool and captivating. They've put in a lot of effort into the garden decorations, and I quite liked it. The staff members were friendly and accommodating. When it comes to the food, I was pleasantly surprised. The steak had a smoky flavor and was cooked just right. The vegetables and sauce were equally tasty. I also indulged in a dessert - the creme brulee. It had a lovely and balanced cream, the sugar coat on top was delightfully crunchy, and the biscuits were soft and of good quality. However, I found it a tad too sweet for my liking.
All in all, we had a great time enjoying our meals. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, they do offer some good deals on specific dishes.
Good selection on the menu. The coffee and hot chocolates were made very well and the food was delicious! Staff were friendly. Highly recommended and will come back again to try the other food items we weren't able to fit in our tummies.
We hosted a friend's babyshower here recently. Booked the table for 12pm for 15 people and a few arrived at 11.45 to set up some things. Unfortunately there was another group booked back to back so we didn't get our table until 12.30. Unfortunately by than the mum to be had arrived along with our group of 15 that had to huddle at the tables out front. Once we got to our table though the staff and service was AMAZING. The area at the back by the water feature is gorgeous, the food especially the dessert was also amazing so they were able to turn the day around 🙂
Very nice steak, very nice house terracotta bread. Excellent vibe and great service. Always happy to come back. Even the kid's steak were nicely done
I took my parents here under the ‘First Table’ arrangement and we had an amazing time. We got a whole assortment of dishes and were really impressed by all. Also a special thanks to the girl who served us, she was awesome. PS. Sorry to quiz you on the accent, it sounds like you get that a lot!

Probably the most beautiful restaurant in Auckland!
The courtyard is stunningly designed.
Garden is the theme of the restaurant so every little thing is related to the theme.
How about the food?
Yummy!
Beautifully cooked.
We enjoyed every meal we ordered even vegetarian one.
Kid loves the burger with extra beacon.
Highly recommended 👍
Pork belly,lamb and cauliflower steak are all yum ,and restaurant with the very topical garden shed flavour ,warm atmosphere and warm service .
Love this place, frequent it often. the servers are always pleasant and accommodating and whilst I took pictures of the menu, they change frequently, but the farmers board shared between two was a winner. Would recommend booking and asking for a seat out back in the garden, busy most nights. Also bonus with decent beers and a good wine list that won’t break the bank
The Garden Shed is a pet-friendly and beautiful place. I would recommend it as a great place to get a drink and a snack. The food is good, slightly more expensive than similar cafes nearby.
