Mallorca Restaurant serves up the absolute best Spanish dishes made from original recipes with an emphasis on seafood. Our restaurant exudes a high-energy atmosphere where people joke, laugh, toast, tell stories and generally have a good time. The ambience and authentic decor bring to mind villas on the Mediterranean. The restaurant has four dining rooms and appeals to a diverse crowd, from refined professionals to the young and hip.

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.

Delicious
by klbt at Citysearch
I really looked forward to dining at this restaurant, had heard great things about the food. I wasn't disappointed, the food was delicious and well prepared. Only drawback was the table that the two of us were seated at. The restaurant wasn't busy, and we had reservations. We were seated so close to another couple that one would think that we were a foursome. Four inches between our tables. There were plenty of other open tables. It was a special occasion, and the lack of privacy left me feeling more than a little uncomfortable.
- Pros: Extensive menu, very large portions
- Cons: limited seating

Waste of money - Horrible food
by PatrickS at Citysearch
Probably the worst restaurant I have been to in Pittsburgh. I can honestly say that the best part of my meal was the sourdough bread and the fried calamari appetizer. I ordered the lamb with mustard sauce that must have sat under a warming lamp for 20 minutes. I am fairly certain that the mustard was simply French's yellow mustard dumped on the top with burnt pine nuts. The sauce had hardened and the lamb was dry on top. My girlfriend ordered the paella. On a positive note, her sausage was very good...but it stops there. There was nothing appetizing about the dish. The shrimp were not deveined. The lobster was not cleaned (full of detritus), chewy and simply looked disgusting. There were several large chunks of dry chicken. Being that things were going so well... we did not order desert. Fifteen minutes passed while waiting for our waiter before requesting the check from another passing employee. All of this for $75 dollars. I will never go there again.
- Pros: I did not become ill
- Cons: The food was terrible and overpriced

Just Okay and noisy
by PGHDiner at Citysearch
Wanted to eat here and arrived before the dinner rush. I had already eaten so I had room for an appetizer. I ordered some stuffed peppers with seafood stuffing and running dressing. I was first seated in the large sun room by the door next to the noisy kitchen, where all I heard was banging and clanging and yelling. I asked to be moved away from the kitchen. After being moved it was still cramped but much less noisy. Others ordered huge dinners and were eating. I received my appetizer will small peppers and some seafood-like stuffing in an orange sauce. It was ok, nothing great about the taste. The room became more crowded and noisier. I was feeling claustraphobic and irritated and just wanted to leave. I guess your experience depends on what you order and what time of day it is.
- Pros: Real Spanish Waiters
- Cons: Noisy, cramped, food ok
