I have to say Chef Sean food is out of this world! Food is delicious, and curated in every details! If I could I’d give 10 stars for his food! On the other end service is pretty slow and sloppy, we waited about 15-min for some water refill, and they also mess up my drinks! Ambiance is super nice I like it a lot! We will be back hopefully we get better service next time!

The food at Lita is superb. I had the curry shrimp pasta, and it was wonderful. Our appetizers were great. Our drinks were phenomenal. The best thing about my experience at Lita was the service I received from Ashley Nicole. We were originally seated outside and it was freezing and Ashley Moved us inside quickly after the front desk host told us that we wouldn’t be able to. Ashley made wonderful recommendations. She was accommodating relatable and down to earth. I really loved her service. She made the experience at Lita miraculous.

Went here for our anniversary, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. We were greeted right away and asked how we were doing, which made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The restaurant is very clean, organized, and has a classy, bougie aesthetic with a beautifully designed interior that sets a great atmosphere.
The staff were incredibly attentive, always checking in, refilling our water, and making sure our table was perfect. Since it was our anniversary, they even surprised us with a complimentary glass of champagne and free ice cream, which made the night feel extra special.
The food was outstanding. Everything was full of rich flavor and cooked perfectly. I ordered the Caribbean bowl with oxtail, if came with two large, tender pieces that were packed with flavor and generous in size. I also tried the curry empanada, which was crispy, savory, and full of delicious seasoning.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience from service to food, and the added anniversary touches made it unforgettable. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

A little bit too loud for me, but it's ok, Otherwise, the food was so delicious. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and they gifted us with a delicious wine and dessert! I'll definitely be going back!

Omg Ronnie is killing it behind the bar! So sweet, so iconic, and honestly the vibe everyone needs when they’re out. Super attentive, super friendly, and makes the best drinks. Give this man all the praise he’s a whole experience! 🤍🍸✨”

Lowkey obsessed with this place, I’ve been here on my birthday 3 years in a row, each time with my toddler and that is never an issue, I dream about their chicken curry empanadas, the whole fish is absolutely delicious, this is probably the freshest ceviche I’ve had in my life! I took my gf here for lunch once and we still talk about how incredible the food was! To keep up with tradition I’ll probably go again in my birthday next year 🫣💁🏽♀️

Overall average experience not bad but not great. Food was very salty but that probably had a lot to do with the salty sour profile the food had. Dishes that stood out was the octopus salad. We had the curry chicken empanadas which was okay and the steak and frites was also just okay ....the ceviche was not my cup of tea. I would stick with Mexican style much better. We did come at lunch so I think dinner may be a bit better.

Oxtail was excellent. The mushroom quesadilla were delicious. Also had the ceviche trio with the chips All delicious. Nice looking restaurant as well. Great location
Was in Walnut Creek for work and checked out this place! Definitely recommend going! The food and service were amazing! Every person that works there was super friendly! I felt very welcomed and I can’t wait to go back again! if you’re thinking about trying this place out…do it!!!

- Ask for clarity on portions / pricing: Some guests found the price‑to‑portion ratio surprising for certain dishes, so asking about size and cost helps. - Enjoy the open‑fire element: The grill is a highlight; dishes cooked on the fire (or large shared meats) showcase what the place does well.

If you like, I can pull recent guest reviews from the last 3‑6 months of Lita (both top comments & criticisms) so you can see how it’s performing right now. Would you like that?

My wife and I drove here from San Jose just to off a review that we saw on Tik Tok. The drive was well worth it and I’d do it again. The food was 10/10. My wife had the oxtail which fell off the bone. It was seasoned to perfection and the tenderness was next level. The oxtail was around $40 which I’d pay for everyday of the week. I had the shrimp curry pasta which was excellent as well. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants a great dining experience. The wait time was about 25 minutes for the bar and 1 hour plus for a table but for this food I see why.

Went on Halloween for a birthday. Food and service was great as always. Such a great restaurant and experience in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek. Food is delicious! Great early dinner as it gets busy quickly. They gave us complimentary coconut ice cream for our birthday celebration.
