| - My latest trip to Mallorca was for a good friend's birthday party. She had called the day of to make reservations and was able to get a table for 6. When I arrived, my husband and I were the first in our party. We were asked to wait in the small bar area for our entire party. This was rather annoying to me since the bar was righ by the entrance and other people kept coming in and bumping into us. The area was highly congested with the bar on one side, tables on teh other and a coat check a the end. Not a good place to grab a relaxing drink before our meal. The drinks are fairly reasonably priced, $17 for two VERY large glasses of wine. Once our party arrived, we were seated. We decided to skip the appetizers and move right to the entrees knowing the portion sizes are large. The waiter read the 20+ specials, as usual. They must have the same specials for several days in a row, otherwise no one would be able to remember all of those dishes. I ordered the filet and my husband ordered the paella. My filet was tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. As always, the table was served rice, veggies and chips family style as sides. The rice and chips were delicious but the veggies were a bit under done. The green beans were quite crispy, not in a good way. After dinner, we were trying to decide on dessert when our waitor, who had been short with us several times during our meal, heard that it was my friend's birthday and decided to bring the entire table chocolate cake. What a sweet gesture! :) I gave Mallorca 3 stars because a few hours after dinner, my husband started to not feel well. He had a bad headache and slept for 10 hours which is highly unusual for him. I also woke up with a headache which I think had something to do with their house wine, which was the only wine they had by the glass. I never have headaches from wine, especially when I only have one glass. Next time, I will order a bottle.
