"I last reviewed the Navarra in 2013 in glowing terms, and since then it has become our special place, the first choice for birthdays and anniversaries. We were looking forward to trying it again now it has been extended and refurbished, but were very disappointed. The food is still EXCELLENT but you can 't relax and enjoy it. We barely had chance to open the new menu before the waiter arrived to take our order. We asked for more time, but a couple of minutes later he was back. I said we weren 't ready to order and he replied, What? Not even starters? He returned yet again before we were ready to order. We were eating early and only three tables were occupied so we couldn 't see what the hurry was. We usually like to see the specials board but there wasn 't one, and we didn 't learn till afterwards that there was a printed specials menu that we were not given. Once the food arrived, the pressure didn 't let up. I object to staff trying to clear my plate before I 've finished eating! This didn 't just happen once, but FOUR times, twice with the starter and twice with the main. This is totally unacceptable and we didn 't order dessert because we felt so unwelcome. At one time you could linger and enjoy your meal, but not now. Coupled with the loud music, this is not the restful venue we knew and loved. Sadly, we will now have to find a new favourite place. They were in a hurry to get rid of us, so we are in no hurry to go back."
