Great food by Gourmet Chef Jose' Zambrano from Mexico & good service. Also serves special order food. We had halibut w/the head on & an order of halibut w/the all the bones/head removed. Sauce was yum! It's just outside Athens, but worth the extra few minutes drive! Website: https://www.girasoleswatkinsville.com/
