Visited there today. New Menu, but very, very limited. I ordered a California Cobb salad with chicken. It was mostly greens, my wife ordered the chicken fajita wrap with a side salad, it was mostly greens.Based on this experience we not plan to return. I was told NPL no longer owns the restaurant/bar.

Morcilla

Morcilla offers Spanish inspired cuisine, including house-made charcuterie and family style dishes. We have a full bar with craft cocktails and draft beer. The wine program is Spanish focused wine list with a heavy concentration of sherry and vermouth.

We’ve been here in three occasions for the last 6 months; not my choice after the first. Perhaps with the exception of the wine list, the Serrano and Ibérico hams hanging from the ceiling, there’s very little to be considered Español. First, the categories of tapas and snacks are idiotic. Tapas are small plates that includes snack portions. Second, the very idea of billing olives for the table is a faux pas - no true Spanish restaurant does that, it is simply a disrespect to Spanish hospitality. Third, most of the selections are truly bizarre. Pulpo ala plancha does not look/taste like grilled octopus, but blanched pieces of squid or cuttle tentacles seared in a frying pan, then smothered in some sticky sauce. The oxtail is not recognizable, it is a spoonful of shredded beef slapped onto a dry toast. The morcilla (blood sausage), while admirably made in-house, is very dry and unseasoned. Spanish cuisine is about simplicity and celebration of the type and cut of meats, recognizable seafood, and delicately prepared vegs; combined with soft textures and bold flavors. Most of all, recognizable Spanish spices: mild to hot paprikas, flavored salts, sweet to bold olive oils, saffron—none of which can be tasted from any of the entrees. After these average to poor fares, we decided not to go for the larger entrees. Not worth the risk of another round of bad cooking.For the quality of food, it is over priced. Service is okay. Will I recommend to anyone? Probably not!

Mallorca Restaurant

Reviewed By Touringtiger

Dined alfresco this weekend and the food was a wonderful as ever. Stuffed Flounder, Chicken and Shrimp Clams with green sauce, Chicken Croquettes, Lobster Cannoloni, always perfect Sangria,outrageous sorbet for dessert and the ever attententiveness of our Captain - Manny! We could have been dining on the Iberian Penninsula - Mallorcas' flavors and service can not be equaled in the city. Consistently excellent.
