Mallorca: Cleveland Spanish Restaurant Guide

Popped in for CLE restaurant week, which if you haven't participated in, it is a great way to experience nicer places for a fraction of the cost! Jorge our server, was very kind and charismatic. He walked us through their menu and set us off on an adventure. Although the service was good, I'm not exactly sure what earned the James Beard Hospitality nomination to this restuarant. Dining room is old school, but beautiful. I really appreciated the Spanish art and red motifs decorating the walls. I have read reports of the owners and staff going above the call of duty, but to me this was an otherwise normal dinner service. The Patatas Bravas and Gazpacho were delicious and loaded with seasonings and spice. The Paella is rich and packed with seafood. I disagree with the claims this is "Microwave rice", as it is clearly saturated with stock (probably seafood) and rich and decadent. Plain carrots and broccoli on the side were strange to me, but I loved the chips! I also enjoyed the flan. At reduced rate due to restaurant week, my meal totalled $50. On the standard menu, it would have been over $100, which would be a little steep. Seafood is expensive, I get it, and that's also prohibitive to some. I would come back.

This place was fantastic. Went here for a nice celebratory dinner and was not disappointed. The service was amazing, and our server was helpful and very friendly. The food was delicious, and they give a very generous serving. The stuffed salmon was the best salmon I’ve had in a long time, and all the sides were great. The mariscada had a ton of seafood! The flan was also delicious, and the sangria was plentiful and tasty. Would definitely recommend!

Mallorca is the best restaurant in Cleveland, delivering an experience that feels both elevated and heartfelt. The food is consistently top notch, with beautifully prepared Spanish and Portuguese dishes that balance bold flavor and elegant presentation. Every plate reflects care, tradition, and craftsmanship. The service goes above and beyond, making guests feel welcomed, valued, and genuinely appreciated from the moment they arrive. Staff members anticipate needs without hovering, creating a seamless dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, filled with love and gratitude, making every meal feel like a special occasion worth savoring.

We went here to celebrate our Anniversary! Loved the atmosphere, quaint and relaxing ! The staff is friendly and attentive! We had Paella.. it was awesome ! You will not leave hungry! I had an octopus appetizer that was excellent and my husband had a sausage appetizer that was excellent as well! I loved that is was quiet enough to converse and relax throughout dinner. Service was top notch! Loved our waiter,he had great energy!! We will definitely go back!

I genuinely don’t understand how this place is so expensive. The food was unbelievably bland, like nobody in the kitchen has ever heard of salt, pepper, or seasoning in general. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the salmon I ordered was way overcooked. For the prices they’re charging, I expected something amazing, but it tasted like someone forgot the entire spice cabinet. On top of that, the bathrooms were honestly disgusting. I’ve been in cleaner gas station restrooms. Way overpriced, bland food, dirty bathrooms. I will not be returning.
