Haven’t been out to eat in Reigate for ages. Chose this one, as had watched John Torode Argentina meat journey travelog recently and wanted to experience a meat feast myself. The rib-eye was delicious. Better than home cooked Morrisons best any day! Medium rare, asado flavours outstanding (don’t know if a real asado, or just a good grill). Chimichurri was delicious and had a kick to it (the one I had made at home was terrible, even though from an internet recipe) Greeting was welcoming, place was lively already at 6pm (v hot summers day), servers were relaxed and personable, what more could you want? Maybe place needs a decorative refresh perhaps - cowhide bench seats showing they’ve been ridden bare - but maybe that’s what Reigate gauchos are used to. I’d say, best QUALITY food in Reigate. Thanks
