Well here goes - I've been back a week from PP and I've thought long and hard as to whether to add my opinion about this restaurant (we went a 8 days ago with friends for lunch)
People who know me on this forum will know me as someone who has raved about this place after 2 lovely evenings there last year and one beautiful take away from them back in march.
I was one of the people who saw the malicious comment from an ex-employee a while back and I supported Pollensa when she withdrew it as it had a very very nasty tone to it. (I'm all for reading opinions but that was vindictive and insulting)
Our visit to the Balaixa last friday was with another family of 4 who we met over there (there child is in my daughters class!) Our visit for LUNCH was not as great as I had expected and our party felt that it was very pricey. Arnie and Mandy seemed stressed and looked tired and gaunt. Our poor waitress was very harrassed and we felt for her. We did witness lots of english children running around tormenting the many cats in the garden and I can undertand if some people found the cats a problem from previous comments. (I, for one dont allow my children to pick up cats and maul them especially when out dining). My previous comments on having an EVENING meal there still stand and we HAVE in the past had some nice
romantic evenings there without children for which we'll remember fondly.
Maybe, we just caught the Balaixa on a bad day - who knows? - and I am really hoping that I will not be shot down in flames for expressing this view. Lets please not let my posting degenerate into a full scale war as has sometimes happened. My comment should be considered valid and I enjoy posting on this forum and "tentatively" chatting in the chat room.
The rest of our time in PP was fab ESPEICALLY meeting Sarah (Sazzle) and I thank this forum for enabling me to meet a fantastic friend whom I hope to meet up with every year in our favourite resort!
