Brunch was a total miss. We had the hummus and breakfast charcuterie appetizer. The trio of hummus types all tasted the same- bland and homogeneous. I ordered the shakshuka- I don’t think the server had ever worked brunch before. I asked to have the egg well done and she said that there were no eggs in it. Shakshuka is literally a dish of poached eggs!!! The music was so loud that a conversation was impossible and when we asked if it could be turned down, the server said they got complaints “all the time” about the volume but it was controlled by “corporate” and could not be adjusted. My meal came out well after everyone else’s. When I enquired about it, I saw the server ring it in so she must have failed to order it. I could have skipped it as it tasted like an egg floating in canned tomato sauce with no seasonings. There were five of us in the party and the impression was the same for all of us.

I went to get dinner and celebrate a very good friend’s birthday last night and let me tell you the atmosphere was immaculate! We were the first ones there when the restaurant opened for service and got sat right away! The food and drinks were so good! The best part of last night was our server, Michaela, she took great care of us and was so friendly! I will definitely be back to go see her! 10/10 everything!

Upon entering this place is vibrant and cozy feeling. They have a Photo Booth which is cute! And the bathrooms were clean and equally as cute.
Our hostess was on her laptop at a spare table when we entered. She immediately got up and was very friendly and sat us but it gave the impression that she wasn’t expecting anyone to sit there.
I felt like our waitress wasn’t as friendly or outgoing and didn’t go over the menu - it would’ve been nice to hear what she recommended/enjoyed on the menu. She also didn’t space out our meal like we requested. She brought everything out at the same time which was too much- we sent back our entrees so we could enjoy our appetizers.
The food we ordered was very good! The hummus trio was tasty but it needs more pita bread to finish the hummus, the Caesar salad was good, and my husband loved the salmon but he wished the couscous was warm and not cold. I had a bite of his salmon - it tasted great! I didn’t love the steak frites- it was ok, the fries were way too crunchy and did not pair well with the steak. I think larger scale fries that are less crunchy would be better.
The cocktails were delicious! Very well balanced but for $30 for a specialty cocktail they need to list what type of bourbon they’re using.
This place has major potential to be a really great addition to east Nashville food scene. It serves Mediterranean food but isn’t to scale like Butcher and the Bee or Lyra- but it’s getting there! East Nashville needs quality restaurants that are not just pizza, tacos, and burgers. Sirocco’s intention is there; it just needs some fine tuning!
My hope is that the restaurant listens to customers feedback and makes some changes. I will be back in the future to see if anything has changed.

Love this spot! They were so accommodating when we had to push our reservation back last minute and the food was beautiful and delicious. the fried shrimp appetizer was our favorite. The ambiance is really pretty and our drinks were great. Can’t wait to go back!
Sirocco is such a gem in East Nashville. The second you walk in, the vibe pulls you in… the decor is stunning, warm, and thoughtfully designed. It feels cozy but elevated, like the perfect spot for a date night or a girls dinner.
The drinks are amazing- super balanced, creative, and honestly some of the best I’ve had in the area. The food is just as impressive… fresh, flavorful, beautifully plated, and you can tell everything is made with intention.
Service was great, the atmosphere is adorable. East Nashville needed this one. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, elegant space. The staff are still getting things sorted out. But worth a stop for some great food (FYI: get the baklava ice cream sandwich!)

Food-wise, this was a mixed experience. We started with the hummus trio and octopus. The octopus was good, nicely done. The hummus was hit or miss: the beet version had almost no flavor, the carrot was okay, and the olive one was actually very good. There also wasn’t enough pita for the amount of hummus — our server offered to bring more, but we were later charged $3 for just six extra pieces, which felt a bit petty at this price point.
Pacing of the meal was a real issue. Before we even finished our appetizers, our entrées were already on the table. For a place where I’m spending over $70 per person, that should not be happening, and from what I saw, we weren’t the only table this happened to.
For entrées, the steak was good, the scallops were very good but a pretty small portion, and the chicken was just okay with not much meat on the plate. Dessert ended on a high note in terms of taste — the baklava (non-traditional style) was very good — but they didn’t have any coffee to go with dessert, which was surprising.
The final irritation was at payment. I didn’t see the bill before my card was run, and only when I asked for a copy of the receipt did I notice a 3% surcharge for using a credit card. I didn’t see that disclosed on the menu, and the server never mentioned it.
Overall, some good flavors, but the rushed pacing, hidden fees, portion issues, and small service missteps add up. I don’t think I’d return.

Had an amazing experience at Sirocco tonight. I ordered the octopus and it was so fire I ended up ordering another one. Perfectly cooked, seasoned right, and easily one of the best in the city. Huge shoutout to Michaela behind the bar — hands down the best bartender in the building. Great energy, great service, and she even had us taking a round of shots after dinner. She made the whole night even better. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend — go and tell them Charlie sent you.
