| - Mallorca has been my family's go-to place for special occasions for YEARS. It's the only place I know where I can get a broiled lobster stuffed with crab meat alongside a cauldron of sea creatures for under $50 *and* have a very satisfying lunch for the next day.
They specialize in cooking enormous portion sizes with expertise. Once I ordered a prime rib and they brought out this two-inch monstrosity with two rib bones sticking out the side. It had a beautiful broiled crust, perfectly medium, tender, tasty and was probably mooing that morning.
Nearly all of the meals I've had here have been great and those that weren't more most likely because I was experimenting and discovered that I didn't like the dish, not that it was prepared improperly.
As for atmosphere, it's dark, tight, and only semi-romantic because it's always crowded and the walkways are narrow. Personally, I love it because it's always an experience: the waiters chattering in Portuguese, romancing the patrons or bringing out eye-popping food that's either oversized, on fire or smelling really good.
Definitely check it out with a date, bust out a couple Benjamins and enjoy yourself (oh, and write a review - we Yelpers would love to see what you think).
