Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A fabulous experience. Based on a large vineyard there was a great atmosphere in the restaurant. The staff were so professional, polite and friendly . The menu had a large selection and the food was exceptional. You could not fault any part of the meal....We felt is was reasonably priced for the quality of food & service. One of the best meals we've had in Australia and will 100% return.More

We visited as a large family party, including three young children. The entire staff were professional helpful and went above and beyond to make us welcome. The young lady who looked after us was simply amazing. Attentive, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. The food and...presentation was some of the best that any member of our well travelled party had previously experienced. Superb. The grounds are spectacular. The children's play area is tasteful, greatly enjoyed, not directly outside the restaurant but in view to keep an eye out for the children. Cannot recommend highly enough and we will be back.More

I took my partner for his birthday lunch because of the new Spring menu. We were served by a very friendly and hospitable waitperson,she was very knowledgeable about the wine and food. We had the beautiful funghi pizza,then for mains we had the fish of...the day and the cavetelli pasta with the most amazing fresh seafood both dishes were to die for. We also had desserts and was even served a birthday cake to end our meal which was so nice and well appreciated. I love dinning at Sandalford it has the most spectacular atmosphere and scenery also not forgetting the best service.More

It is hard to find exceptional customer service in WA, but let me tell you the customer service we received at Sandalford Restaurant yesterday was exceptional. Eleni was our waitress until she went off shift. Eleni, cudos to you. You were amazing. It looked like...you wanted to be there, and we felt that your professionalism yet realness and ability to “read” the table and know what we wanted was above and beyond normal customer service. You knew the menu and wines inside out. You were natural and authentic, yet so professional as well. The rest of the staff that attended us after Eleni went off shift were excellent too. Miriam, Lincoln and Bridget, all so professional yet personable. One could tell that the training of all staff was exceptional. No one looked like they “couldn’t be bothered” and looked And felt indeed that they wanted to be there, and not just for the pay check. The food was exceptional, serving sizes excellent, timing excellent and on point, and of course the wines and Espresso Martini’s amazing. It was truly a well-rounded wonderful experience. Nothing was lacking. Thanks again… you are a shining light among a lot of dullness in the hospitality industry. You have mastered your often exceptionally difficult craft, and we can’t wait to come back.More

We've visited Sandalford a number of times over the years and the food is always top class. This visit was no exception. We started off with foccacia and oil with the warmed bread being delicious. There was a good range of mains on the menu...but one of my favourites (lamb) got the nod from me while one of my wife's favourites (seafood risotto - this one was just shellfish) got the nod from her. We foolishly ordered two sides - potatoes with parmesan, and Brussels sprouts - which meant we both ate far too much during the meal. The food was lovely. Highly recommended. Our wines were both to our tastes and we ended up purchasing some bottles of each at the adjoining cellar door after the meal. Staff were very attentive and helpful at all times. Recommended.More

Delightful upscale winery restaurant in the Swan Valley. Lovely décor inside and out. We ate indoors because it was too hot for the terrace. Very sophisticated menu, so much so that it almost seems that some of it is contrived for linguistic effect. It is...also rather expensive. Nevertheless, the food was tasty and the service efficient and pleasant. We shared a zucchini flower tempura and I followed with a very tasty red snapper at $50. Generally, everything we had was very tasty but overly contrived and complicated with too many different flavours. It was as if you recognized everything on the dish you were ordering they had failed. A serious foodie might revel in this. Me, not so much. But I don’t want to leave the impression that this was anything but an enjoyable lunch. We won’t be back; we will look for something simpler.More

First, a confession; when overseas guests want a meal in the Swan Valley, I usually take them to a winery that a friend used to own. It was always a good meal with nice wines in a pleasant outdoor setting. As that's not an option...anymore, we decided to give Sandalford a try and we were delighted with our decision. As we had booked to have lunch there, we were entitled to taste four of the wines at the cellar door. And that was a great experience too with really good wines and staff who know their stuff. Special kudos to Rebecca for lots of information about the wines we were tasting and especially for her recommendations from the restaurant menu. Our guest had issues with her teeth but we wanted our meal to be tasty and not too hard We had a lovely table overlooking the outdoor dining area and were served by the delightful Nunung. All the staff are terrific but we were mostly served by Nunung and she did a terrific job.More

I like to book a special client lunch knowing the outcome in advance and Sandalford consistently excels. Their present Spring A la Carté menu is beautifully balanced, the service is wonderfully consistent and the restaurant has never looked better. We chose octopus, kingfish, oysters, crab,...seafood tagliatelle and sirloin, with wine from their luscious 1840 range (all of it from their Caversham vineyard). Berry crumble and a flight of cheeses with a glass of Sandalford sparkling was the perfect finale to lunch. My guests loved the experience and I’m grateful for the confidence I always feel in choosing Sandalford to impress. 👏👏👏More

Not aware of any dress code but it is a fancy restaurant. I would assume that for a Friday dinner it would be a little more dressy. For an event dinner I would contact the organisers.

Of course babies are welcomed. We sat near a table that a young couple had a little one in a high chair. The child thoroughly enjoyed the attention, and the parents were lovely.
