Someone recommended this restaurant to me and I went there for breakfast. The building is interesting, and inside it's got an industrial feel. I had the corn fritter and wild mushroom, the mushroom was fine, very fresh. The corn fritter was not what I expected, basically it was a deep fried banana with some chocolate cream and peanut butter, it was too sweet for my taste. The coffee was nice, very smooth.

I flew back to Perth from Sydney to take my mum and family for mothers day degustation. The impression I got from booking was fantastic, I suppose it was the owner who called me to confirm, was very friendly and accommodating, to our needs. The restaurant was well staffed, and most of them were very friendly and provided excellent service, in particular I think it was a chef, was fantastic.

There was one waitress that wasn't so great, and for that reason I didn't give the overall rating a 10 on service. The ambience was modern, in an old house I think, but refurbished, no views or anything though. The lighting is dark, like other diners mentioned, but not the darkest restaurant I've been to, and it was pleasant for fine dining, with dimmed lights, and candles. As the night drew on, and the restaurant filled up, and it was fairly noisy, some background music would have been good to drown out everyone elses conversations.

Service also started to slow at this point, so the whole meal ended up taking around 3.5hours. Altho, they do warn you of this when you book. So if you're impatient like my husbund, go somewhere else for a 3 course meal, but if you don't mind having a relaxing night out, allow close to 4 hours for the whole meal.

The food - there were about 10 or 12 courses if you include the freebies and cheese course. Most were excellent. I particularly liked the Marron, the produce was excellent. And the Most unusual dish I loved was the bacon and eggs, it didn't taste like egg, but was delicious. One course I didn't really fancy was actually the main, this was a bit of a let down by the end of the meal, as the beef was rather chewy.

We ordered wines by the bottle rather than matching, and they were pretty good too. For so many courses, many which contained great produce, I think 125 for the degustation is quite reasonable in comparison to other restaurants serving similar food and offering similar service. They finished the night by writing "Happy Mothers Day' on mums dessert. Nice touch.

Went to Joes to celebrate a family reunion and found the place outstanding. The Snapper was great and the ribeye was cooked to perfection. There are few places that give this size steak for the price. Wait staff were extremely helpful and attentive.

Where do I start? Meals were not nice at all and completely overpriced considering the poor quality and the location, sauces were like water, chips were rock hard, some portions were small, mains were not all served together but within a one hour interval, what they claim to be a crocodile steak was in fact little slices of chicken, table was dirty with some old food completely dry stuck to it.

Entree was literally thrown on the table and part of it fell of the plate but staff could not care less and just walked away, part of the order never came out, the senior staff was rude when we complained basically telling us to go away and turning her back on us.

Overall one of the worst dining experience we had in a long time. Don't waste your time and money there.

A real disappointment! Salt and Pepper squid lacked any hint of salt or pepper, was bland and oily due to being deep-fried in breadcrumbs. How about more focus on flavour rather than volume?!

Seafood chowder had minimal seafood and could have been canned soup for all we knew. Grilled mackerel was way overcooked, so dry and lacking any flavour, definitely Not spiced as stated in the menu. I barely touched it and had to reject the waitress' offer to take it home. Chips were not crisp and must have been sitting for awhile. Sticky date pudding nothing special, from a box. Cashier was not friendly, especially when I didn't tip.

The wait staff are young and attentive and doing their best but the poor quality food lets them down big time. Joe or Owner and Cashier, you need to taste your food or at least compare to quality versions of what you do, that may explain why your restaurant was barely a quarter full while all the other places were close to capacity the night we went, it's time to start serving food to match the high prices you charge.

My husband and I are from Sydney and were entertaining clients at Ishka mid week. The restaurant wasn't overly busy but the service was appalling. We had booked and were seated promptly but it was another 15 minutes before we were offered a drink (had to beg for a wine list).

The food was average and extremely overpriced. No main we had was worth anything near $44 price. The final disappoinment was the cappuccino, probably the worst coffee I have had in a fine dining establishment. This was my husband's second visit to Ishka and, unfortunately, it will be our last.

Worst Experience to date! 10 of us celebrating a birthday and this is what we encountered, booking was mixed up, meant to be 7.30, didn't sit us down until 8.30. Took 45 minutes to write down our order. Buffet looked understocked as it was now late. The lightly dusted calamari, came out deep fried, and leaching oil, no side salad and therefore those 3 meals were not eaten.

The vegetarian risotto came out with chicken? No replacement meal as it was too late. Barramundi with side of chips $32 was a joke, as there were only 4 chips!
Service staff were thin on the ground for a sat night, took awhile to get attention. I would not go back.

Went there on a hot Perth day for some fish and chips. The surrounding are wonderful, as they are at all the venues in fishermans harbour.

We ordered the snapper and the barramundi, but like all things Perth we didn't get what we ordered. 2 serves of Barra arrives at our table. Didn't complain as we both enjoy both fish types. How hard is it to get an order right?

The fish was cooked to absolute perfection. I don't think I have ever had a piece of Barra as nice or as well cooked as this.

Yes, we will be back and intended on doing so before we left Perth but, unfortunately, time was against us.

I have been to Bistro Felix twice and the first time had a really good meal but when I went last night I was appalled it started badly right from the get go.
Firstly the lady that got our reservation 5 days before never wrote it down so they couldn't find it anywhere we still managed to get a table.

The food came out really quickly and was not of anywhere near the same quality we had the first time. Our mains came out before our entree plates were even cleared which gave us a feeling that the table was double booked. Surely enough just as we ordered desserts they told us we had to move as the other table was here. So 1 hour after we arrived we had to leave I will never be returning after this incident.

Stumbled across this interesting building last Saturday morning for breakfast.
Food was fresh and hot, but really for what I got it was very over-priced.

My steak was supposed to be rare it was well done. The food was very ordinary. The service was Bad! We had to wait for a very long time up to 30 minutes and had to Ask every time for service. There was a waiter who was the most rude and arrogant waiter I have ever met. When my husband went to pay he had the biggest attitude. He charged us for items we did not order and once this was pointed out the attitude went up another notch.

Further my husband said thank you, looking back not sure why. This man just looked at him and then looked at the tips jar and then just stared back at him and stared him down out the door. Very odd behaviour indeed. Never again.

Nice big barn-like atmosphere with the brewery section visible. I didn't eat but had a good time sampling the four beers on offer.
