Galapagos - Wadhurst

Excellent front of house team, enjoyed our evening but South American food not quite what we are used to. The rib eye steak however was excellent and cooked perfectly. The restaurant was quiet but not unexpected given that it was the first week of reopening following latest shutdown. As such tables set well apart and we felt Covid safe.

Overall very good service. I ordered chick pea chorizo starter chicken main skewer dish. All arrived well presented and hot. Very Tasty indeed. Would definitely be going back, after lockdown!

Had a wonderful evening and 3 course meal here. The cervice starter in particular was exceptional!

The food is outstanding and the whole experience very personalised.

Not as good as our last visit. We made everyone aware from the outset that we were time constrained. It was not that busy. It took forever to get a couple of steaks out following our appetizer, so we ate them under duress and against the clock. Appetizers (perfect goat cheese and spinach empanadas) were presented in a lacklustre manner with some haphazard salad greens strewn on the plate, half of them wilted from the heat of the empanada visually unappealing and disappointing. The steaks were great, the fries were superb and the chimichurri delicious.But we arrived at 6:20pm, had ordered by 6:30pm, finished our appetizers at 6:45pm but then had to wait until 7:00pm to get our steaks and then, only after we had agitated for their arrival. We had to make a train at Wadhurst station at 7:29pm c. 7 minutes away so we had 15 minutes to bolt down a steak and pay so we had to forego any chance of having a dessert. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and the milieu and ambience are great. The place was nowhere near full so, really how long does it take to grill a steak medium rare?! All the same, we would not let that hiccup deter us from visiting again.
