Dos Cocineros Mallorca — Restaurant in Calvià

I thought I would try this new restaurant not far from where I live. Being new obviously the decor and surroundings are pristine and it has been refurbished to an extremely high standard. Upon arrival I was the only person in the restaurant and of course was served straight away with a drink at the bar. A beautifully made whiskey sour. I decided to have the ribeye steak for my main course, proceedingthis was bread and Alió. The bread was very fresh and the alió extremely tasty. The waitress who attended to me was very attentive and helpful. My main course duly arrived and was cooked to perfection, I asked for rare and the steak was cooked wonderfully. Although saying this I was rather disappointed as the steak was only accompanied by potatoes. Although they were cooked once again to perfection, I would’ve expected some sort of vegetable to accompany the potatoes. I had two glasses of red wine 1 from mallorca, and the other was a more full bodied Spanish mainland red. This was followed by an espresso coffee and a glass of a very tasty straight whiskey, unfortunately I did not get the name. Although I completely enjoyed the meal and was extremely satisfied, not only with the service as the chef also came out and askedhow my meal was, but I was extremely satisfied at the way the meal was cooked and presented. This was slightly tempered when I received the bill the potatoes were an extra at €3.50 although this isn’t expensive I would’ve thought they would’ve been included in the price of the main meal as a whole. This slightly soured my experience as I’ve never experienced this in a restaurant before. I’ve only awarded three stars for atmosphere as it was extremely hard to judge because I was the only patron for at least 45 minutes but a few more tables did arrive as I was finishing my meal. The music in the background set the tone of a chilled but modern atmosphere. I would recommend you eating at this restaurant as you would not be disappointed with the service or the food. But I would like to point out to the owners, that people would expect firstly more vegetables to accompany their main course And for those to be included in the price on the menu. Total cost €68 this for the following X1 whiskey sour X1 portion of bread and Alioli X1 rib eye steak X1 portion of boiled potatoes X2 glasses of red wine X1 espresso coffee X1...

We chose this restaurant for a birthday celebration based on previous glowing reviews, but sadly, our experience was far from what we expected.

The service was friendly but noticeably slow and a little pushy. There were only two other tables occupied (one of 2 and one of 4, including ours), yet it took nearly an hour for our food to arrive. We had ordered four steaks medium rare. Unfortunately, one arrived well done and another very well done. At that point, we tried to make the best of it, as waiting any longer didn’t feel like an option.

As the only woman in the group, I was surprised when the waitress placed in front of me a steak that was almost half the size of the others. I even placed it beside another plate to photograph the difference. To make matters worse, it wasn’t even the correct order—I had asked for steak with both grilled vegetables and fries, but was given the vegetables-only plate. The sides themselves (fries and vegetables) were actually delicious, but the steak was overcooked, tough, and completely lacking in flavor.

Considering the cost—€31.95 for a steak (without garnish), plus €6.95 each for fries, vegetables, or salad, and even €2.95 for a basic sauce like ketchup—we expected much higher quality. No one checked in during the meal, and by the time the waitress came to clear the plates, my husband and friends had already finished. I quietly mentioned that my steak was inedible. To her credit, she did offer a dessert or drink as compensation, and when I declined, she agreed to remove my meal from the bill.

While that gesture was appreciated, the overall experience was very disappointing—especially for a special occasion. My husband had chosen this restaurant carefully, and unfortunately, the slow service, poorly cooked steaks, and the lack of care in both plating and order accuracy left us wishing we’d...

I live in Maiorca I have a season house here. Some friends told me to do not go to eat to this restaurant , but I went anyway because I am like that , I have to try before to say if it is good or not. They told me that the chef /owner when he is not drunk and when does not go the police in His restaurant, ( they visit them often and soon I will send them again for many people local complain) can cooks enough good. I never paid such an expensive bill ever ! There is no service, only his wife that try to Take advantage from People , adding in the bill things never asked and serving always wine , making fake she offers . But after you must pay her! And you have to pay like you are eating to a Michelin star restaurant . I red other comments like he is a seller of shoes , he is not a chef ,and everybody confirm me that . I will not let it pass like that, next time I will send some friends and I will do my best to proof from more people that they play smart and the bill grow up that we not even know. In Spain you must pay before to leave a place but we informed already about what happened. I was stupid , I had to listen my friends to do not go. Only with tourists you can work and not...
