Girasoles

Talk about a hidden gem, we found Girasoles Restaurant just outside of Athens, Georgia, in the town of Watkinsville. Reservations are highly recommended for seating after 5:30. The menu is full of excellent choices and the specials are endless. We started our gastronomic adventure Shrimp and Crab Soup and Roasted Tomato Soup. We both could have stopped right there and had a reorder, the soups were OUTSTANDING! Our son so enjoyed the warm Sherry & Hot Bacon Salad as a starter. The Pasta Bolognese was full of wonderful chunks of beef that melted in your mouth. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Filet Mignon and Scottish Salmon topped with large chunks of white crab meat. I can lament forever. All I know is when we visit Athens area again we will eat nowhere else but at Girasoles. 10 Stars to the

If there was an ability to select 6 stars for service I'd select it! Mr. Jose Zombrano is the Class of Watkinsville. His staff and personality are truly special. Folks like him are the reason this country is a great place! I'LL BE BACK. FOOD IS MADE BY REQUEST AT TIMES. Try Sunday brunch; pancakes are like crack! Ps- This man has the ability to prepare alligator to order.🤯

Girasoles is, without question, my favorite restaurant. Every visit feels special from the moment you walk in. The service is warm and attentive, the atmosphere is inviting, and the food is consistently exceptional. Chef Jose is truly something special. You can taste the care, skill, and heart he puts into every dish. Everything is made fresh with real ingredients, no artificial flavors, no shortcuts, just thoughtful, beautifully prepared food. It is the kind of place where you trust the chef completely because he genuinely can make anything, and it will be incredible. What makes Girasoles even more meaningful is that it is a small, local restaurant with a chef who makes it a point to get to know you and your family. I am so grateful he is part of our community. The quality rivals fine d

Delicious Sunday lunch, My Veggie omelette was very good, I added a Blackberry pancake, crunchy gold color on the outside delicious creamy sauce on the inside. Shrimp and grits were excellent. Delightful, friendly service, Beautiful meal I plan to return.

We went during their all you can eat brunch buffet. Holy moly, it was the best meal we've had in a long time! Definitely worth driving out of your way for this one. I ordered a savory shrimp crepe at a made to order bar. My friend got made to order chocolate chip pancakes. They can basically make you just about anything you can imagine. They also had a self service table and self serve dessert. Waitstaff are incredibly attentive. I can't wait to visit Georgia again :)
