| - I've been coming here for many years and it is my absolute favorite place for great Spanish (Iberian) food. The key to Mallorca's success is consistency. You will find the owner of the restaurant there as well as some of the wait staff who have been there since it opened.
I've never had a disappointing meal there. The food is plentiful and the wait staff is attentive and always quite pleasant. The service was voted best in Cleveland.
The restaurant is well known for its seafood dishes, and though I'm not a huge seafood person, I'm told the paella is excellent. Mallorca has many other great menu offerings as well. They make their own homemade potato chips, and the gazpacho is superb.
The last time I was there I decided to get the Spanish coffee, a recommended treat. It's a wonderful blend of coffee and liquor, spices, and topped off with whipped cream. The drink is prepared right in front of you and the gentleman preparing ours was happy and exuberant, so it was served with lots of flair and smiles.
Even though this is a nice restaurant with linen tablecloths and nicely dressed waiters, this isn't a place where one has to come dressed to the nines. You can come relaxed, in comfortable clothes, and still be treated well. The last time I went I wore a nice pair of jeans and a sweater and felt right at home. Laurie, the owner, stopped by my table, chatted with me and my girlfriend, then asked to snap a picture of us. She really seemed to be enjoying herself, just like the rest of the staff, who were friendly and welcoming.
Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy some great food and Cleveland's best service!
