Having a bit of a break from Adelaide in Scarborough, Perth foodie mate and myself decided to head to Ishka for dinner. Although we had read mixed reviews from different sites, we thought, we will try anyway! Well! my foodie friends! we really should have taken notice and not bothered, severe waste of money.
The décor is actually quite lovely (except the dining chairs look a bit cheap which I found unusual).
Service was good, except for the fact that they did not handle complaints too well, the most difficult job for a waiter, as this is usually not their fault.
We started with some cocktails, which were okay, the marshmallow martini I had was uber sweet, so beware!
I ordered the lobs...
I read the recent reviews and still chose to come here. Why did I do it? Maybe I wanted the sea view, the fancy setting, or may be I wanted the nice drive up to the Boat Harbour....
Don't be fooled by the location. This is the ultimate restaurant rip-off.
The $46 seafood entree plate (to share) was so overpriced it was an insult. It included 2x tiny oysters, 2x scallops, 2 very small pieces of cured salmon, 2x small prawns, the crab was missing, and a small avocado tian.
Consider this... the oysters was $4 or $4.50 each, so that's a maximum of $9 out of the $46. Where's the rest of the money going to?
The waitress advised the eye fillet 250g, but it looks much closer to 200g. I ord...

Despite reading all the negative reviews my partner and I still decided to come and dine here and we were more than happy with the food and service. Having a number of dietary requirements eating out can be difficult however the staff were more than accommodating to my needs. We ordered the seafood plate as an entree, and had the barramundi and the special of the night which was the baked veal. We also ordered a couple of sides. Food was cooked perfectly and couldn't fault anything. It can get quite noisy from the bar downstairs so if you want a quiet place to dine maybe don't go there but we enjoyed the atmosphere. Will definitely go back again.
5 Star venue, service and price but none of the food stacked up. Started with massive juicy looking seared tasteless cold scallops ( not sure how you remove the taste from scallops)? My wife's scotch fillet was a poor quality piece of meat and overcooked (ordered rare). My fillet ticked all the boxes cooking wise, but we topped off with an underwhelming serve each of the chef's take an Eton Mess. This was our let's give it another try visit the last one for another year or two.
Located in the Hillarys/Sorrento marina, this place is very family friendly, with plenty of seating inside with a fireplace, and also outside on the deck of you want to soak up some sunshine. The food is pretty good quality, if a bit overpriced while the venue has a good selection of drinks. A great spot for a Sunday afternoon drink.
The lamb ribs were tough and dry. Calamari was okay but had to ask for a wedge of lemon which is standard for this dish. As others have mentioned it's overpriced. I saw a battered barramundi come out and the serving size was pathetic. Bring back the 90s Breakwater any day.

Very poor meal Previously excellent going backwards it seems Meat over cooked and dry Wine list boring and unchanged Seems rigor mortis is setting in Great location and views Come on update and use the possibilities here to make the most of the possibilities
Was ok but took a long time to be served for a drink. Food wasnt great and took very long to come even they were only small plates and didnt see all that many people dining for food. Great location to meet friends for drinks
