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

We ended up here with limited options late on a Sunday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised - the pizza is excellent, crispy, thin base and quality toppings. Staff are efficient, the views are lovely and there is a good range of beers.

My wife and I spent a few days in Knysna to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We visited Sirocco last Tuesday and again last Thursday. On Thursday we had not booked and we were so amazed how every effort was made to fit us in to the busy restaurant. The food, the service, in fact everything was superb. We have just... More

Sirocco has a world class setting and the top patio has awesome views to the Lagoon and Heads. It would make a fabulous venue for small wedding receptions!! The downstairs area is classic and attracts the locals and visitors with its very varied menu and good wine list. The service is good but takes strain in the busy months of... More

Very cool place down on the harbour of Thesen island, Knysna, SA. We had a nice dinner sitting down at perfect set tables, staff was friendly but a bit sloppy, not with us but we heard some remarks at tables next to us. Price is good for what you get.
