    I ordered the whole fish and there was no flavor at all - it was so bland. I only ate half to not insult the chef and did not take the rest home. My husband had the steak and rice and beans… the plate was cold. My husband hates to send food back so he did - a manager came stating this food is piping hot.. you don’t even see the smoke from it. He again ate his food that was luke warm. I had the Brussels sprouts and the plantains which I enjoyed. My husband is a native Jamaican and we are definitely not expecting it to taste like home - but based on the reviews we wanted to see what the hype is about.

    The food at Lita is always tasty, presented nicely, and distinctly Lita’s. The atmosphere is fun, lively, and I love that the staff and clientele are so diverse (this can be hard to find in Walnut Creek). Our server, Philippe, was constantly interrupting us. I understand he needed to take our order, ask us how the meal was, and ask if we wanted dessert, but there was no reason to interrupt conversation multiple times when he was taking away a dish that was obviously empty, refill glasses of water, ask us if we wanted dessert before everyone was finished eating, asking if he could take away sauces on the side when the dish they went to were already taken away, etc. The interruptions were truly excessive.

    The Mojito and Mt. St. Helena Old Fashioned cocktails were spot on. The Jerk Kitchen sandwich was very flavorful along with the grilled brussels sprouts. My wife and son loved the Coconut Curry Chicken Bowl. Service and ambiance was great. We will be back!
