How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

A spectacular place!!! The waiters were incredibly attentive and the service was fantastic. The food was superb and the value for money was excellent. I recommend trying the steak tartare; the croquettes as starters are delicious. The piani...

Great service, the staff were very attentive and took care of us very well. The pacing was top notch, like you would expect at a high end restaurant. This is what Mallorca needs. The food was great quality, amazing steak and seabass. I look...

It’s like Harry’s Bar London and Scott’s Mayfair had a baby and called it Annabel 😉 !!!! From the street the restaurant is stunning and from the second you are greeted by the hostesses and staff who are impeccably dressed to the moment you...

Its new but we've been 3 times now and its not working correctly yet. Service can be good but is average overall. Half of the food went back which is also poor. Hopefully they sort it sooner rather than later.
1★ · 2025-12-30
Horrible service, basically non existent. Over 90 minutes between starters and main course. Main course served cold. Staff evidently don’t care about situation, far from professional and not worth the money. Never been to a more horrible pl...
Hidden Service Charge
Several reviewers express frustration over a mandatory 10% service charge automatically added to the bill without prior notice.

The food was good and the service was friendly. Unfortunately, only 2 stars. Deduction for the long wait for the food and small portions. Another deduction for the 10% service charge included in the bill. I only noticed it upon closer ins...

We were a party of eight for dinner, and the surprise was confirmed after we privately noted the bill – the restaurant charges a 10% service charge, but it's so well hidden that we only noticed it upon closer inspection. A shame and quite a...

Check the receipt because they automatically include 10% of the bill as a tip, without prior notice. I don't like these practices.
Food Disappointments
A number of reviewers complain about mediocre, over-salted, or cold dishes that do not justify the high prices.
