IL Girasole is a new restaurant in town, our first time here. The menu has something for everyone. The 4 of us shared 12 different items on the menu. The food was amazing, with good size portions. The service exceeded our expectations. We'll be back soon.

We ate here for the first time tonight. Service was excellent! Food was fun and creative! Drinks were excellent too. We had a variety of tapas or small plates and main courses. The chicken main dish was the most tender chicken I’ve ever eaten! The fillet was also quite good. We finished our meal with the chocolate flourless cake. It was superb!

IL Girasole is wonderful! The service is amazing. Fabrizio was our waiter and he is very knowledgeable and welcoming. The complimentary appetizer was a nice touch. I loved the Lobster Risotta! The Mary’s Chicken was solid! I look forward to returning!

Service is high-class. Food is great. Lovely room. Parking's a bit of a drag, but who cares? Extra points for accommodating the fact that we were pretty late because I got lost even though it's ridiculously easy to find.
