| - Know what to expect, and you'll be less likely to be disappointed.
Mallorca is a Spanish restaurant, not Mexican nor Italian. It's home-style, not high-restaurant style. Expect the flavours to be more homey, and the preparation less visually stunning, and you'll know a bit about what to expect.
Despite the choice in food styles, the presentation is interesting. The servers wear tuxedos, but the decor is country estate. It's formal, but not regal nor opulant. It's like eating at the home of an uncle that wealthy back in the day, built a brilliant home, but it's a bit in disrepair.
The fabrics are nice, but a tad worn.
The food is tasty, however... and in home style portions:
We ordered a seafood paella, sauteed chorizo, calamari, lobster bisque, a beef roast and I had a glass of sangria. It's all tasty and served in a gracious fashion. We had a wonderful gentleman from Andalucia. It brought the strains of the tune in my head- -- splendid accompaniment to a flavourful comfortable meal.
