More and more often, when we visit high-end restaurants, it feels like we're viewed not as people…read morebut as money toward the bottom line. I'm pleased to report that at Navarro, our experience was nothing like that; from the moment we arrived we were made to feel like old friends who were long overdue for a return visit. The staff was delightful - completely personable and attentive without in any way being obtrusive. We were seated upstairs and begin our wonderful meal with a warm seafood salad. Next we were served a truly fabulous Lobster paella (simply amazing!). Our server recommended a wonderful Rose wine, which we each enjoyed two glasses of. Our entire dining experience was truly exceptional, and I wouldn't hestiate to recommend this wonderful restaurant!

Even at 1:30 PM when they open, all tables were reserved. I ordered the Valencian paella, which had chicken, rabbit, and vegetables, and it only cost 10 euro per person. They accommodate to solo guests, so if you're dining alone, don't fret. They will serve you a single person's portion and honor the price. The server brought out bread service, which included a tomato jam and olives. They also brought out a sample-sized complimentary taster of some pureed dish of some sort. It only took about 15 minutes or so before my paella arrived, and it was heaven! It's as good as they say, and compared to other restaurants, this was the best value for paella I had ever seen. The quality was high, and there was plenty of meat in the rice to make this all worth it. The bill added a 1.50 euro surcharge or tax. Highly recommended if you want the best paella in town!

That totally killed the experience considering the wine was wonderful and the flavors and presentation were upscale. Cold food is just inexcusable. P.S. OMG the desserts are incredible. If I had known I might have skipped the cold food and gone straight to dessert.

I wanted to cancel our orders immediately - but he could not be found to do so. No food is worth the way that my group was treated. I can't believe this restaurant has such high reviews especially with so many other options near by. I WOULD NEVER RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN. Honestly the WORST experience that I've ever had -- I would give a restaurant that gave me food poisoning a higher rating than this place. It's only ONE star because I can't give it ZERO stars.

I was intent on trying one more time to wrangle a really good paella. I'm a single traveler and…read morestruck out on the beach front restaurants since everywhere requires a person to buy paella for two. Walking up and out of the Túria Gardens, I was on the edge of the old city and El Almudįn was only a few blocks away. When I arrived, the 5 sidewalk tables were taken and, peeking inside, I asked whether they might have a table for one. The waitress/hostess smiled a big welcome and immediately placed me at a table set for two. I ordered some water and beer, and settled in to look at the menu. She asked if Alhambra brand was okay and brought out their special reserve. Okay, we're on the right track. As expected, paellas showed a price for one but required a purchase for two. Marga came over, saw me pining over the paella page and with complete magnanimity explained, "It's still early and if you'd like a paella for one, we can make it!" She was twanging on my heartstrings. I ordered the real, the original, and the only authentic Valencian paella. Marga looked at me, like she'd heard this before, and asked if I had either an aversion or allergy to snails? Nope. Bring 'em on! Everything they cook is made at order time and uses fresh ingredients from the Mercado Central next door. It was going to take 30 minutes to prepare the paella so I started with a gazpacho. It was so flavorful and fresh I could have just eaten another three and gone home content. Patience, patience. I had been editing my photos and earlier travel when the paella came up. It was served in the hot paellaera which sat insulated on top of cardboard egg cartons. Marga let me know that Valencianos eat their paella straight from the paellaera. She proceeded to hand me a toothpick which, she said, was for digging out the caracoles (snails) from their shells. Now I'm living!! As I noted the rabbit she quickly said, yes, this is totally traditional; rabbit, chicken and caracoles. While I chowed down on this deliciousness, I also noted the flat broad beans, the fava (fabia) beans, the aromatic saffron and the savory rosemary. Wow. And the best part? Around the entire edge of the paellaera, there was socarrat!! That crunchy but not hard, nearly caramelized rice. OMG!!! In the meantime, I'd asked Marga for a glass of dry white to accompany the meal. With perfect selection, she brought me a Las Dos Ces, white. Forty minutes go by and I'm rubbing my distended belly in perfect contentment. Marga showed up as if on cue, knowing full well I couldn't resist dessert. I ordered the Arnadí, pungent caramel pumpkin pudding cake served with vanilla ice cream with stripings of fruta del bosque. That, along with a café cortado. And of course, Marga steps up with a complimentary shot of Mistela - Valencian sweet wine resembling a strong moscato. What a wonderful and happy ending to my day.
