"A nice time for Mother's Day but I'd not go back for that occasion, there's not too much personal space in this bistro and bar and the Sunday brunch scene is energetic and quite loud. We had nothing but tapas and they were all savory.. Their Spanish influence can be felt, and I believe this is about as authentic as it's going to get outside of the motherland itself. Seafood items were all tasty, especially the shrimp kabobs. We enjoyed the chicken tapas, empanadas all very nice with a hint of No. African spices. We will go back, but a Friday or Saturday night...seems the place is even more alive."

"Enjoyed the live Flamenco. The food was barely mediocre. Everything we came for, they were out of. In general this place was a huge disappointment."

"This is my new favorite place. I normally don't like tapas restaurants because some of the food can be overpowering, but Majorca's food was right on point. Not bland, not overpowering with spices. Just right. My favorites to order: the Bruchettas (lamb and chicken), the cheesy potatoes, and the Tres Leches cake. Don't forget to try the Hookah. They also have great happy hour prices and live music. Definitely a place you should try."

"The deck in front of the restaurant is a great spot to sit on a warm and breezy evening. The deck decor -- including sculpted, fire-breathing iron bulls' heads -- is stunning. The waitstaff was very solicitous, but we had difficulty communicating -- English was not their first language. The food was good, but not remarkable. Three of the tapas that we preferred to order were not available, so we were dealing with second choices anyway. Among the five that we eventually shared, I would rate two as very good but two others only fair."

"Very run down, and hasn't even been there much more than a year. The food was OK, but very redundant - every tapas plate had the same trimmings, and those trimmings were the same as the house salad. I do not recommend this restaurant."

"We ate here only because they had an open reservation at the time we needed so we had no expectations. We were very pleasantly surprised. The food and atmosphere were great. The service was a little quirky, but very friendly. We will definitely be going back."

"We order the paella for four and it was just rice with different meats inside. The taste was not even close to an original paella. And we know this very well because my wife's family is from spain. Besides the size of the paella was only for two. Unfortunelly the cocktails were average. We are sorry to say this but we will not recommend this place."

"A group of us were celebrating a friend's birthday. We were late for a reservation at another restaurant , so we stopped at this restaurant and they were able to take us. The food and drinks were excellent! The restaurant also had entertainment which was an added bonus. I plan on going there again!"

"Service was excellent, but it was a split on the food, some dishes were amazing (Pesce Sarro and the brochettas), other were nothing special (the champinones al ajillo are drenched in oil/butter). Didn't like the decor/ambience, the place was half empty on friday night, and mostly fill with a much older crowd."
