    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.

    Great experience at the newest dining option in OC. IL Girasole is beautifully decorated, well located and has an impressive menu. Great food paired with a nice wine from Puglia!

    Place is brand new and looks amazing. The wait staff is great. Food is modern and different. Cesare salad, fillet caccio Pepe and bnut squash and lobster risotto very good. Wine list very good I am confident that Antonio will make this place a staple of OC.
