  • Went here on a Saturday night with a group of 4 others. We had a reservation, and were seated promptly in the enclosed patio, with my back right up against a tower heater! But truth be told, it felt awfully good after the visit from the Polar Vortex we just experienced.There were no empty tables, and the bar seemed to be hopping, so they must be doing something right. Though I had been to Mallorca several times, which I'd always been luke warm to, I had never experienced their sister, next-door restaurant, and was game when someone suggested it. With a group, we figured it be fun to go with the tapas. And choosing from the menu WAS fun. For the most part we stuck with the Tapas Calentas, or hot tapas, and shared everything. Each of us chose an item for the first round, and then another for the follow-up round. The grilled sardines with onions and peppers was quite good, reminding me to a lesser degree of those served in Lisbon. Since I'm watching my carbo intake, I avoided the mini crab cakes with blood orange, caramel and honey and the artichoke fritters with fresh garlic and olive oil. One of the nightly specials with shrimp in a chili lime sauce - good, but nothing special, which seemed to be the evening's theme. The fresh Prince Island black mussels in a provencal sauce was adequately sized for sharing, and were tender enough, but the sauce was somewhat nondescript. Sliced chorizo links were pleasantly spiced and oily as to be expected. My favorite of the night was a scallop dish, although as I'm looking at the menu I don't remember it being au gratin or with shrimp on a shish kabob. What struck a cord with me was how well they were heated, just enough to hold them together and heat them, but not enough so they chew like pea coat buttons. So rare in restaurants these days. The stuffed hot banana peppers with veal in tomato sauce were also good but, again, nothing to remember. The lone venture to the Tapas Frias (cold) side, we selected the Kobe beef tenderloin carpaccio in olive oil, which was quite tasty. Though nothing was awful, and the service was perfectly acceptable, nothing stood out. I'd be back if I was meeting friends again, probably the best way to go to experience the most variety, but I wouldn't go out of my way for that "must have" dish that didn't occur.
