| - My first visit to Mallorca was really quite nice. I got a table outside on a lovely day, and besides one pestering fly and an over-zealous breeze, it was very pleasant. I started with an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms were cooked very well (they were still solid, not overly done and mushy) and the stuffing had a nice taste although I found it to be a bit on the liquidy side. For my meal I had the veal with mozzerella sauce. It came out in an iron dish that had obviously come straight from the oven, and I had at least five pieces of veal swimming in a delicious cheese sauce that was slightly darkened on the top, which I loved. The veal may have been sliiiightly overdone, but it had a very nice flavor and went with the sauce very nicely.
The only minor complaint I have is that the service was a little inconsistent. I arrived for dinner right at 5pm on a weekday with a friend, and we were two of possibly four total people in the restaurant at the time. I guess the staff was feeling rather bored, because whenever we would need attention at our table, we were surrounded by a minimum of three servers. Which was very attentive and I appreciated the service, although it did make me slightly uncomfortable. But the really uncomfortable thing was whenever our servers were done helping us, they stepped back about three feet and just stood behind our table the entire time. Now THAT was uncomfortable. And slightly creepy. But we got all of our food in a very timely manner, which was excellent. But then as the restaurant started to fill up, we requested our bill, and ended up waiting about 20 minutes for it. We figured they had forgotten about us, until the bill finally arrived and we realized it had been laying on top of the servers' station a few feet from us the entire time. So they didn't forget about us, just the bill.
So although the service went from practically sitting on my lap to forgetting that we weren't trying to do a dine and dash, the food really was quite good and I'll definitely be back.
