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.

Last minute and late call for dinner with well loaded friends. Marie graciously fit us in, just prior to last orders. Even though the restaurant was nearly full they managed to deliver a superbly cooked ribeye steak, one of the better ones I have ever...had, and I’ve had a few! Service from the (French?) server was exceptional and I apologise for not catching his name. I thoroughly recommend Sentinel and will certainly be back.More

Delicious food, we had the scallops and octopus as entrees then fish of the day (groper) and chicken breast. Very well presented and prepared and very attentive staff. Great venue with very comfortable chairs. Highly recommend.

It's an upmarket restaurant in Perth CBD with nice atmosphere. The grilled octopus was tender. Roasted duck was succulent and tasty. The mouthwatering steak was cooked to the perfection. The spicy seafood pasta was delicious. We ended our dinner with the delicious chocolate cake. Staffs...were attentive. We will return.More

Great inner city location. Carpaccio entree was great however octopus entree was a bit on the chew side. Gnocchi main was great as was prawn pasta. Wine by the glass was great and overall good value for money

First time at the Sentinel - it looks very inviting from outside and inside the ambience is lovely. On Saturday it was a 2 course or 3 course menu. The steak tartar lacked some flavour and the crab pasta had a strong tomato sauce flavour...hiding any flavour from the crab. The duck was slightly overcooked and was made to feel tougher than it was as the knife didn't easily cut through the meat. We're used to spending a couple of hours in a restaurant, but an hour after arriving we'd been served all 3 courses and felt a little rushed. Glad to have crossed it off our list of places to try, but doesn't make the 'one to go back to' list.More

The Sentinel is located in the heart of Perth’s CBD, on St George’s Terrace. It’s perfectly located for a power lunch, and it has all of the right staff, food and beverage to deliver the goods. It’s busy, so a reservation would be a good...idea. The staff are friendly, professional and hospitable - also, they had an excellent command of the wine list, and they were able to make excellent recommendations. The menu is finely tuned to the demands of the clientele, with excellent aged steaks. If you are looking for somewhere to go which delivers professional excellent hospitality for a business lunch, then the Sentinel is an excellent choice.More

Helpful staff welcomed us into restaurant. Such a lovely vibe - popular but not too loud, gentle lighting - ideal for couples or small groups. Nice wine list with both European and local wines. Adjacent bar and outside tables good for bigger groups.

Fabulous meal. Sentinel created one of the most delicious lamb shoulder (rivalled Cumulus in Melbourne) dishes I've ever had. Succulent, depth of flavours, generous portion. Wine list and service were excellent also.

Location - in Perth CBD, not even a 5 min walk from Elizabeth Quay Ambience - upscale yet casual Service - good The food - my main course was decent . I had the gnocchi with beef - the pasta was well cooked, and the...shredded beef cheek quite tender . Didn’t care for the panna cotta desert I had . Overall experience- completely disappointing. On a recent Fri evening, I made a booking for dinner at 20:30, showed up on time, and was told I could not order entrees anymore . Since one had to order a minimum of 2 courses, I was stuck with having to order a main course and desert. As someone who doesn’t care for deserts much, I was annoyed that they had stopped serving entrees at a time when customers had reservations for dinner . And the food was brought out in a total rush, as if they could not wait to close down the restaurant. If the kitchen was getting ready to shut down by 20:30, they should not let customers make a booking for dinner at 20:30 online. Completely unacceptable.More

A very enjoyable meal in a not very busy restaurant. This restaurant lacked a little in atmosphere, on the night we were there, but the staff were very pleasant and the food was very tasty. We enjoyed the meals that we had - a shared...portion of scallops for starters followed by beef cheeks and also salmon. 4 for the food. 3.5 for the atmosphere. Would we return? Probably.More

This restaurant was over priced for the food that was supplied. If the waiter hadn’t been so full of his own importance he might have got our food order right. A different waiter did ask if we wanted to leave a tip, but wasn’t surprised...when we said no and did apologise for any inconvenience.More
