Paladar Latin Kitchen
Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar opens Sept. 16 at Annapolis Towne Centre, and the menu promises to be fresh, Latin and "approachable."
"The approachable menu is inspired by flavors, ingredients, and dishes from Central & South America, Cuba and the Latin Caribbean," says the promotional e-mail.
"With guidance from our warm and welcoming staff, our guests discover the bold flavors and vibrant cultures of Latin America without leaving their comfort zone," the e-mail says later. "Our approachable menu features freshly prepared guacamole, slow roasted and grilled meats, fresh seafood and homemade salsas."
Dishes include Rum Glazed Pork Cubano, Mojo Marinated Atlantic Salmon, Cuban Braised Beef “Ropa Vieja,” El Cubano Sandwich, and Paladar’s Blackened Fish Tacos. "An assortment of ceviche will be available featuring Ecuadorian Shrimp, Tuna and Watermelon and Sweet & Spicy Salmon," the e-mail says.
The 7,000-square-foot space has a dining room for 180 and a bar area for 60, plus an outdoor patio that can seat 50 more.
It will be open seven days a week: Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.

I'm dumb, but I probably still won't like it.
