Editorial Review for Mallorca Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Mallorca's architecture boasts Iberian panache: Portuguese tile everywhere and an outdoor terrace that provides diners with starry views. The menu includes 2 1/2 pound slices of prime rib and other large steaks, but the specialty of the house is seafood, which is highlighted in more than a dozen Spanish-style dishes. Favorites include zesty garlic shrimp and traditional paella.

Mallorca was a disappointment. I recently moved to Pittsburgh and was excited to hear about this restaurant from my work colleagues. I lived in Europe for many years and perhaps this is why I have a different idea of what tapas should be like. For those who like to over-eat on cheap greasy food this is the place to go. It lacks the simple legance of true Spanish tapas.The service is pretentious and the staff poorly speak English. This led to confusion in our order which made me eat something I didn’t want which was utterly disgusting. The portions are too large. The aroma of tapas is drowning in too much garlic and grease. Their pastries are stale and if you don’t order wine you are ignored by staff. It was a very unpleasant and stressful experience. I would not recommend it to those who expect tapas. However, you can get an overpriced big greasy meal instead and think if was a good investment if you don't know better.
Pros: outdoor patio
Cons: expensive, large greasy portions, not truly tapas

My fiance took me to this authentic spanish restaurant because she thought I would enjoy it. We were not dissapointed by any means, from the valet parking to the superior customer service and menu selections. I had the lobster and my fiance had the chicken and rice. Having eaten authentic spanish and cuban food for a good part of my life, I have to say that it was truly a great experience. The seating was comfortable for a friday night. We were dressed up but there were folks there in jeans and nice shirts. The atmosphere is casual dressy so one need not feel out of place just dressing nice. The servers were courteous and quite fluent in spanish as I spoke only in spanish to them. The food was just like the food mom used to make. I noticed in the reviews that some people said the food was not authentic or not very good. I say that they are nuts and wouldn't know authentic spanish food if it was staring them in the face !! In closing, Mallorca es la mejor comida espanola que hemos comido nunca y volveremos alli pronto. Hasta Luego
