Palance Trinidadian Restaurant and Bar

So I heard there was a new Trini spot in Baltimore and I was super excited so I went to try it out. It's a really chill vibe with a nice set up and music playing in the background. Now I'm Trinidadian so when it comes to the food, my taste expectations are at a minimum what my food tastes like .... I don't expect anybody to taste like my mommy's kitchen because I know that's setting the bar to high ha! Now the sorrel was absolutely delicious but the food was just OK to me. The pholourie was fried too long, the tamarind sauce and pepper sauce were tasty, the doubles, fried rice, fish and cabbage just was lacking in flavor for me. I'll definitely be sending my American friends here because their pallet is different from mine and I know they'll enjoy the place but for my tastebuds, the flavor missed the mark.

Food was awesome, reminds me of my gramz cooking. Vibe was dope, even though we werent there that long. Building has a great lay out and very inviting for a private dinner. Customer service was superb. Ill definitely come back again and again.

We had a completely wonderful time at Palance under the care of bartender La Ron who makes some very exquisite and engaging cocktails with amazingly pleasant tropical vibes. The food was fantastic - I confess I had never tried Trinidadian cuisine before but was blown away by its distinct subtle flavors brought to perfection by chef Sean Yogi's imagination and skill. So we started with a saltfish croquette appetizer that if I weren't aspiring for dinner, I would have kept ordering until they closed the place. For dinner, I had curry salmon with sumptuous fried plantains and a delicious pasta cheese pie side. The salmon was amazing, I have never had salmon taste so wonderful. My wife had the same experience with her curry chicken. The true kicker though was this amazing pastry-like side named dhalpuri which is used to scoop up and eat your entre - amazing, buttery, soft. They have really done the place up well and feature a cool event room upstairs in the back with a peaceful view down onto Castle Street Park. Parlance is in a safe location and easy to access from Fells and the Hopkins Hospital complex. It is so great to have this vibrant new spot in Butchers Hill!

Just had another great meal at Palance. Excellent drinks, roti. The chef is a talent as well as the bartender.

Nice place! Super nice bartender and yummy food. Delicious chicken and doubles! (Doubles on the food menu, not the alcohol) Cute neighborhood pubby kind of place, seems brand new inside.

Fiest time and I feel in love with this place. Had the Polouri, Doubles, and King Fish with Macaroni and Cabbage. Flavors were on point and Service was great. Combine that with nice atmosphere and this is a great spot. My new regular.

We've been three times since they opened. The food is very good and true to its roots. The whole Bajan vibe is wonderful. Great rum based drinks, slow cooked meats, and well developed flavors. They've only been open a few weeks so it will only get better. Love having this place in our neighborhood. The Food is good, the service is good, and the location, at least for us, amazing. We'll be back (often).
