Girasoles in Watkinsville, GA serving Mexican- Italian Cuisine, or least that's what the sign says...all I know is that it is awesome and delicious! Recently Amy Coile and I had the chance to visit for a fine dining experience in Oconee County!

A sweet hello from award winning head chef Jose Zambrano at table side and a special salad with a four dressing sampler started the meal off perfectly.

Amy had the shrimp and grits that had the best texture and flavor I have EVER tasted, while I had my all time favorite - blackened tuna. The tuna was served with a mango raspberry salsa that was fabulous and sauteed baby vegetables.
