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.

In my opinion, Sentinel Bar & Grill is the best restaurant in Perth. Especially, I love the steak here. I have been to other much more expensive steak houses but this place serves the superb steak with reasonable price. Service is top quality and this...is my go-to restaurant for very important business lunch/dinner meetings. Five star restaurant.More

Such a shame that our meal ended with a poor experience. Twice we clearly asked for the dessert menu and on the second time of asking the waitress brought the bill instead. She knew we were tourists and all she wanted to do was go...shut up and go home. The Australian couple on the table next to us were offered dessert and people were still dining in the restaurant so I don’t understand why our request was so difficult. Anyway no dessert for us as too much troubleMore

Absolutely superb!! Food was flavoursome and well presented. We have eaten in many places throughout the world and most have been OK, but these dishes, my family and I had were 10/10. Compliments to the chef! Truly!! Ambiance was lovely. Our server could have been...more attentive, often we had to ask for more drinks and more food items but other than that, a great experience. I would highly recommend this place!More

Sentinel 111George St Perth. Great food great service what more could you wish for. My only grip is a 2%card fee. I avoid places that expect you to pay for their bank fees which should form part of any business expenses. Particularly at this level...of charges not cheap but, you do get both good food and good service just cut out the card fees. EFTPOS is only .5%. will therefore not return. Just because you can doesn't mean you should it's bleeding your customers.More

To start out with the food and service was great, to begin with. I and 7 colleagues went out for a Christmas Dinner. We got there at 7pm, ordered food around 7:30pm, had a great time and were finishing off our deserts at around 9:20,...we had just received a bottle of wine a little earlier but there were only 3 of us drinking by this time. The restaurant advertised it was open until 10pm so it wasn't an issue, the first thing that happened is that while I was distracted, my wine glass was taken away, when I went inside to ask for another I was told that I could borrow a glass but only for 2 minutes, took the glass and decided to overlook that comment. A couple of minutes later another young girl came to the table to say they had called last orders at 9:30 (which was fine as we were not going to be ordering any more drinks) and that we should pack up and leave, a bit taken aback we explained that we had only recently received the bottle of wine at the table, but given the closing time was 10pm we would finish up before then and then leave, the counter offer suggested to us was to be given paper cups for the wine which we could then walk out of the restaurant with, which was declined. Shortly after a young man came out to say that as last orders had been called at 9:30pm, it was now illegal for us to be on the premises, 10 minutes having passed.....the offer of having the wine poured into paper cups wasn't repeated as this would definitely have been illegal, both on the restaurants side with respect to their liquor license and ours, or at least those of us willing to step out onto St Georges Tce with paper cups of wine, which was no one. How the restaurant handled wanting to go home early (or avoid paying their 3 remaining staff for an additional 30 mins) was extremely disappointing and the 180 degree turn in customer service was astonishing.More

Expensive. We settled on entrees because of the cost of mains. Very noisy, like so many restaurants know with all their hard surfaces. Couldn't hear a waitress inside. Had to ask to sit outside, where it was slightly better, even with a party of 20...seated near us. Food was decent, but nothing I hadn't had in more intimate cheaper establishments. It was close to our hotel.More

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

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
