| - Technically I'd give it 3.5 stars.
The grandparents were in town, so my family decided a fancy meal was in order. We came to Mallorca because my mom had some great lunches here and because we all love seafood and were intrigued by their seafood menu.
The menu definitely lived up to our expectations! My dad ordered the casserole in green sauce and was totally blown away by the amount of seafood he was given--a giant heaping bowl! My grandparents enjoyed their sole stuffed with salmon and spinach and my paella was tasty and also chock-full of seafood and sausage (chorizo, yum!). The chorizo and scallops were well cooked, but the broth was a bit salty and the chicken a bit overcooked. My mom's stuffed salmon was half good, half awful. The stuffing was delicious and one of the salmon halves was cooked perfectly, but the other half was very fishy, very fatty, and basically inedible.
The place can definitely get loud--especially since the head waiter was very theatrical and enthusiastic in welcoming and describing the menu to people, but people would talk louder to have their conversations be heard, so he'd talk louder.... Etc. Etc. So it definitely got noisy, which made it difficult for my grandparents.
We also ordered the white sangria because we had never had it before and everyone except me is a white wine drinker. Sweet and full of fruit, but definitely was mixed with orange juice. I'd like to try the red, but the white wasn't really my thing. The complimentary almond liquor at the end of the meal was a nice touch, though.
I wish I could give half stars because I'd go for three and a half, but I guess I can give four because of the quantity of seafood. A few cons, other than the already mentioned noise. Also, my grandparents asked the head waiter to repeat a few of the specials, needing just two things clarified, but the head waiter launched into his spiel again, which confused them, and nothing was achieved and we went through the process again. We specifically asked to repeat just the salmon, but he did the whole thing multiple times! The pace also felt inconsistent. Everything was a but slow and relaxed at the beginning before the entrees came out, but then suddenly they were clearing all of our plates and we felt rushed. Plus the handwritten bill? Charming, maybe, but I'd like to be able to read what I me being charged for--especially since they brought us something we didn't order and initially charged us for it!
I'll come back to try the tapas out of curiosity, but I'd only recommend this place if you love seafood and don't mind a bit of boisterousness.
