Last minute dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine. The atmosphere was good and the waiting staff friendly & knowledgable. We didn’t feel rushed although we were later to dine. Would recommend for a nice evening out.

Book early as restaurant gets busy and book a high table. Food is incredible, the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. The food was exquisite and served beautifully. We will come back again.

Just coming back from the second dinner in a row. On the first night we got the pan con tomate, the tuna tartar and the rice with scallops, red shrimps and squid: the latter was similar to a paella, with such tender seafood with a...perfect touch of saffron. The tartar was spectacular: with a zesty but balanced marinade and A grade tuna. The dessert we had, was a lemon pie that was just amazing. We didn't have enough of it, so even if we personally like to try different restaurants, when travelling, this fear of missing out on other places didn't stop us from booking a table also for the next day. Today we left so happy: my husband and I shared 4 tapas, of which (again) a tuna tartar, the char grilled asparagus (good combination with the sauces), the roast octopus (so tender and absolutely not chewy), and the Iberian grilled pork shoulder (was melting in my mouth). There's nothing that needed more or less salt, marinade or others, everything was just perfect the way it was. We'd also recommend the brioche, as a dessert.. a true comfort dessert. Going to the service, we've found such a welcoming and professional staff. Also, a big thank you to the lady (probably the manager) who treated us so nicely. The restaurant itself has many rooms.. of which the best ones might be on the first floor, but anyways, also the top one has a good and intimate atmosphere. Good value for money.. if you eat like we do, expect to pay between €50 and €70 per person, which, in our opinion, was absolutely worth it. Thank you for two wonderful nights.More

Like the other reviewer before me we also felt lucky to get a table as a ‘walk in’, we also ordered the suckling pig and the steak, but our experience of the food was so different. There was barely any meat on the pork, all...fat and bone. And the steak was bland, and raw in the middle. Completely overpriced and underwhelming. I so regret not just having tapas! Service wise, the waiters realised we weren’t enjoying and purposefully avoided our table to check in on us. I didn’t get chance to speak about the poor experience as we had to rush out on paying as our flight time was unexpectedly brought forward. Very disappointing.More

What a lovely gem of a place. Hard to find, but well worth it. We were so lucky to get a table without a booking. The food and wine choice were amazing. We had sucking pig and the fillet steak. Wonderfully cooked! Staff attentive and...professional. Highly recommend.More

We ate there on 2 occasions. There is a wonderful feel about this restaurant. Great ambience. The staff are friendly and professional. The menu is interesting and varied. The food was very tasty apart from the suckling pig which needed a bit more zip albeit...being well prepared and cooked. The wine list is to be commended. It contains a good representation from around Spain from excellent producers. There were some non Spanish wines.More

The food was good but we saw 2 cockroaches in the restaurant, one walked right behind me. We informed our waiter (very unfriendly since the beginning) who took actions only after we complained many times. He explained “ sorry if I don’t see them I...can’t do much”. It was surreal. The manager apologized at the end but still added “ you know we are in the old town, that is normal”. Well - cockroaches shouldn’t run around in a high-end restaurant like the one they pretend to be. But they seemed not to understand that… so will never come back there again.More

Very nice, chic wine bar with great tapas menu and extensive wine list, not cheap but much more upmarket and trendy than the normal bar offering, we managed to get a walk in with a reasonable time at the table, friendly service, good food, booking...recommended I’d say, worth the visit thoughMore

I am sorry to give this bad review because we visited the place one year ago and then it was a clear five points. Now the service was far from expected. Laisy and no form from dedicated service with love. The food was average and...could have been served in any place for half the price. Expensive and not the standard it should have been. One of the few places I have visited where I didn’t give a euro in tip.More

I love this restaurant!!!! I stumbled in for a late lunch coming off 24 hours of travel. I’m vegetarian and they have such beautiful options. Highly recommend dining here it is AMAZING! The patatas bravas, asparagus, and homemade burrata with eggplant and tomato are so...delicious! I found the atmosphere to be sophisticated without being stuffy. That actually comes across in the food as well. The flavor profiles are complex, but the food isn’t overdone. The dinning room is very comfortable and cozy, while still being elegant. I was wanting regional Mallorca food and feel like I got it! The service was top of their game. I was dining solo and felt very much taken care of but also left alone to relax. I just love this restaurant so much!More
