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. And although we were delightfully stuffed, we made room to share a piece of Chocolate Passion Pie.   So if you are looking dining options that are uniquely di...

Rosario's Trattoria in Watkinsville, GA - what casual Italian Dining should always be like! Does the photo below make you go "Yum"? Tiramisu is my absolute favorite desert and Kim & Carl Burdette at the newly opened Rosario's Trattoria in the heart of Watkinsville, GA do an excellent job of preparing it along with many other fabulous deserts.

June 2009 residential real estate sales volume in Watkinsville, GA showed a another decline in the 12 month sliding sales volume continuing a 16 month trend.  Annual volume fell by just under 4% in June, lower than the decrease of the previous two months.  The average Days on Market (D.O.M.) remained virtually flat and both average and median prices fell with both falling to their lowest levels in over a year. The average and median price falling could be due to the affect of the $8000 tax credit bringing more first time home buyers into the market for the lower priced homes as well as the fact that almost half the sales in Watkinsville have been foreclosures and short sales. At the end of June there were 41 pending sales of residential property in Watkinsville, the same number as at th...
