Sirocco Review

In the mood for a pared-down, modern-chic atmosphere with wonderful views and natural light streaming in? Minimalist Sirocco, which offers largely Mediterranean seafood with an Asian twist (plus roasts, filets, poultry, and one or two vegetarian options), reflects its chi-chi Thesen Harbour Town location. There's a good deal of glass, all the better to maximize the lagoon setting, and colorful cocktails to sip while you're watching the sun set. Sirocco is best known for its prawns (you can try three varieties of ginger and spring onion rice), but they also produce a mean bouillabaisse, and a tender free-range petit poussin marinated in coriander, garlic, and lemon. The small lunch menu, served in addition to the main menu from noon to 4pm, offers lighter, less-exciting fare.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
