Sumptuous beef fillet and chicken pasta! *Happy* our waiter ensured an enjoyable experience, but unless the water was bottled at the the source of a finnish glacier, it was ridiculously expensive.

Stopped here due to the outdoor seating and sushi menu, both of which were enjoyable. As it got cooler, we moved inside to a lovely dining room. Enjoyed chicken pie and "baby" prawns which were huge. Leonard, our server, was absolutely fantastic - making for an even better overall experience.

It was cold and miserable outside, but at least warm and welcoming inside. It was my first time to Sirocco surprisingly, as I have been to most other restaurants in the area. I was a bit disappointed as my expectations were higher. The food was average, wine list average and the service was average. Maybe it was the time of... More

Going out for Sunday lunch, two couples with a four-month and ten-month old baby each, is generally challenging. Sirocco welcomed us gracefully and made sure we were comfortable, accommodating our every request right up to making a little bowl of mashed potatoes and butternut for our baby. The seafood buffet was delicious, innovative flavours putting it ahead of the pack... More

Beautiful sunny, blue sky day so we sat outside enjoying the view over the water. However, our raw oysters were not fresh, and had to be sent back - a first for us. Unfortunate, since Knysna is known for it's oysters. Service very slow. Very disappointing experience.

Outstanding menu and service in a comfortable space with nice views. Add very good food and you have a real find for two couples from Connecticut, USA. I don't understand how this very good resturant could get the few bad reviews.

having dinner at Sirocco was part of our Honeymoon package. The food was exquisite and the service was excellent. The atmosphere and decor makes this a trendy place to meet. Looking out towards the heads as the sun set and watching the boats come in made this a very enjoyable and memorable experience. I will defintely make a booking if... More
