Girasoles

Friday night the Skillings headed to Girasoles in Watkinsville to have a nice, quiet family dinner.  HA HA!  We really went to eat, drink, and be merry in a small little restaurant a few minutes away from home.  At one point I looked around and we were by far the loudest, most obnoxious people in there!  We have frequented their Sunday brunch and most recently their dinner.  Up until a few years ago they had a secret weapon that wasn't even listed on the menu...the VIP platter!  You had to know someone who knew someone who once ordered the VIP to order it.  Well, I guess the secret got out because the VIP is now on the menu!  You tell the chef how many people will share the VIP and he surprises you with a plethora of entrees.  We went all out Friday night and ordered VIP for 7 adults!  That included bread, salad, 2 appetizers, entrees, and dessert!  We literally ran out of space on the table.  We didn't even put a dent in the food and had enough leftovers for 5 people to eat lunch Saturday!  It is definitely a special treat!  Here are the best photos I could get:

A brief run-down of our entrees: swai stuffed with crab, shrimp linguine, filet with blue cheese/mushrooms, creamed spinach, steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, gnocchi, lamb chops, mahi mahi with peaches, peanut chicken & scallops
