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...

Bland food 10/2/2005

I've given up all hope for this Pittsburgh restaraunt. Excellent service from friendly fascinating Spanish waiters was the highlight of the meal. Pros: Service Cons: Food more

Much better than the reviews 7/26/2005

I read some of the reviews listed here, and I didn't want to eat here. Our friends really wanted to try it. The service was exceptional. The appetizers were creative and unique, also excellent. All four main courses, duck, delmonico steak, salmon and quail (both stuffed with shrimp and scallops) were outstanding. The ambience could improve, but was very European. I'll definitely be back. Pros: Service, Food, Creativity Cons: crowded tables more

Yuck! 7/21/2005

I truly was shocked when I read the outstanding reviews this restaurant had. I visited it after moving to Pittsburgh, and was truly more disappointed than I think I have been after going to a restaurant. The ambiance is not good! The decor is outdated, the lighting is wrong, the tables too close together! My salad was drowning in something that looked like thousand island and tasted terrible. My seabass was not fresh at all and my boyfriend's paella was simply overcooked seafood set atop saffron-flavored rice. No flavor, no style. It was just bad. They seem to make up for taste with quantity. We went to eat somewhere else after b/c I did not want to finish my meal. Perhaps it was just an off day, but wow they must have been really off. I do NOT recommend Mallorca to anyone. On a better note, the service was decent. Pros: service Cons: ambiance, food!, food! more

Poor service overshadows good food 7/15/2005

Went for romantic dinner with my husband after reading that Mallorca is rated as one of the most romantic restaurants in Pittsburgh...not sure on what basis it got this rating! The food was excellent and the wine list was impressive but service was poor (Spanish or Portuguese waiters a bit arrogant) and environment not that romantic: tables too close to each other. Pros: The food, The wine list Cons: Service, Sitting spaces more

One of Pittsburgh's best 6/29/2005

Mallorca is just simply one of Pittsburgh's best restaurants. The service is top notch, the portions are huge, and the atmosphere is very traditional. Have fun trying to take all of of the specials that the waiter will fire out in authentic Spanish acccent... you usually have to ask for him to repeat it again. For apps, start off with the chorizo, fried calamari, or garlic shrimp; they're simply incredible. Among my favorite entrees are the Prime Rib (special), Quail in curry sauce (special), veal in cream mozzarella sauce, and the Paella. Their sangria is excellent as well: according to my girlfriend (who is Portuguese and has been to all of the great Newark, NJ Spanish/Portuguese restaurants) it is the best sangria she has ever had. Oh, and if you go often enough, get to befriend Antonio; you won't regret it! Pros: large portions, excellent wait staff, great ambiance more

Mallorca - OK 2/21/2005

I went to Mallorca with my husband for Valentines day. I don't know if it was because they were so busy, but the service was very slow. The waiter handed me the wine list from behind a wall and didn't even look at me. Pros: Good atmosphere, Fair Price, Good Wine List Cons: Mediocre Food, Mediocre Service more

Mallorca's Love of Food is Obvious. Bravissimo! 2/14/2005

A rare restaurant where, even if you don't like the dish, you know it was prepared well, using the finest ingredients. Ambience is superb and the size, quality (and quantity!) of food is presented with an expert flourish. Mallorca's staff loves making and serving food and it is glaringly obvious in everything they do. Pros: Ambiance, HUGE Portion Size, Excellent service Cons: Tight aisles, Limited parking more

By Far One of the Best!!!!! 12/5/2004

Mallorca restaurant excels in service, food and ambience. I've had the opportunity to dine in several of the world's largest cities and Mallorca serves world class cuisine at a reasonable price and with incredible service. Pros: Great food, Service more

authentic spanish food 6/14/2004

This great restaurant on the South Side the place to go for a taste of Iberia in Pittsburgh. The wine list is extensive, the food was great (the portions are huge- be prepared to take a doggie bag home) and the service was perfect. My only complaint was the lack of Jamon Serrano- Every restaurant I visited in Spain had this wonderful ham, why not here? Pros: food, wine, service more

Simply the BEST 6/3/2004

I have eaten at Mallorca's several times. I think this is one of the top(if not the best) restaurants in Pittsburgh. The value of what you get for what you pay is really incredible. I work in the hospitality business and I am always impressed by the timing of there service. They serve you a the perfect pace. They keep you moving so they can turn tables, but you dont feel rushed at all. The food you get is second to none. I think if you have not tried this restaurant your making a mistake. You should try it at once. Make sure your hungry when you get there. Pros: Bar, Price, Food more

A trip to Spain 4/5/2004

Only ate here once several years ago, and food, ambiance (even the close quarters in the dining room) and service are reminiscent of restaurants I've visited in several Spanish cities. The food in fact is much better. I recommend dining here if you want to experience truly fine Spanish cuisine. more

DELICIOUS FOOD 10/3/2002

THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIUS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE TABLES ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. I ALSO WISH THEY HAD MORE PARKING SPACES. Pros: DELICIOUS, FRIENDLY Cons: POOR PARKING, TABLES TOO CLOSE, LONG WAITING PERIODS more

Great Authentic Spanish Food 7/26/2002

If you are looking for good drinks, great food, and a great location, then Mallorca would be one of my top recommendations. The food is authentic spanish cuisine. The menu offers a variety of dishes, but then there are usually about 15 daily specials (mostly seafood). The wait staff is very personable, and the proportions of food are gargantuan. When you first look at the menu, the prices might seem a bit high, but every entree is plentiful and always includes a salad, a huge plate of spanish rice, a vegatable medley, and home made potato chips. At the end of the meal, you also will get a complimentary shot of home made desert liquore. Pros: huge selection, huge entrees, side dishes included more
