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 The decor is outdated, the lighting is wrong, the tables too close together!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!
