Reviews for Girasoles in Watkinsville, GA
Honestly, I can?t even give this place one star because the service was absolutely atrocious. We chose this restaurant for a... birthday celebration with plans to enjoy a few appetizers, cocktails, meals and dessert, but this did not happen. It took overone hour to get our first drink while tables around us who came after us got served their drinks and meals before us. Then wewait another 45 minutes for the server to come back so that we can order food. Mind you, our group was no bigger than the groupsat the table around us. Our meals were slow to come out. One person requested his salad before his entree but of course theentree came out before the salad. Then it took over an hour for the server to figure out the checks. Didn?t come back to takethe checks with the payment. The food was good but because the service was so bad, I would be apprehensive to ever come backhere or recommend this restaurant. I figured being outside of Athens, the service would be better but it was almost worse thanthe worst service I have gotten in Athens. Read more
A few miles from Athens, GA is Watkinsville, a small town that now has fine dining down to a science thanks to Girasoles. Expect... your tastebuds to POP! DELICIOUS Let me suggest sitting outside at sunset. Read more
Not inexpensive, but worth the money. Generous portions of well crafted dishes full of flavor. A nice variety of pastas, meats... and seafood. The warm bacon drizzle salad was a delight and I really liked the Brussels sprouts casserole. Read more
Went here for dinner last night and it was absolutely incredible! The crawfish bisque was probably the best ?soup? I?ve ever... had! For the entree we had the rack of lamb, Brussels sprout casserole, Mac and cheese, and mixed veggies. INCREDIBLE! And ourserver Jack was phenomenal as well, was able to answer or get answers to any questions we had, and was very attentive to ourtable even while being extremely busy. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing! We have eaten at some exquisite restaurants and this place rates in my top 10.
We were looking for Sunday brunch when I remember my son taking me to this place before. My friends and I had a fabulous meal.... The lunch bar had generous choices of meats, vegetables, salad, and a dessert selection that was decadent. The make-to-orderbreakfast buffet was the highlight. The owner/chef was delightful and fun making every breakfast dish you can think of?eggs andbacon on Texas toast, French toast, omelets, waffles, crepes filled with fresh fruit?you name it; the Chef makes it!! Servicewas fast and friendly. The front dining area got a little smoky from the grill, but it was cleared out right away. Girasoles isnot the cheapest place in town to eat, but if a quality meal is what you want- you will get what you pay for, and it?s worthit!! Read more
