What really stood out to us was the consistency of the service. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special from start to finish. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a great meal, great conversation, and actually feel taken care of. Restaurants can have good food, but places like Lita create an experience. Definitely one of the standout spots in Walnut Creek and well worth visiting again.

My husband & I had 5:15 pm reservations. We were seated right away…read more I'm glad that we had reservations because the restaurant was full. Atmosphere is modern with beautiful lighting and large windows that let in lots of natural light. Lots of ferns. Tropical. Decor lent itself to the Islandesque menu. We ordered wine for my husband and the Isle de Tigre for me. Later I had Cucumber Crush. Both were refreshing and original. We had Jerk Chicken & Coconut Braised Pork Belly tacos for starters. They were delicious. The Jerk Chicken was a standout! I had the Jerk Fillet of Salmon, my hubs had Lita's Steak Dinner. While dinner was delicious, next time we will get 2 Chicken Jerk Tacos each and a couple of craft cocktails and sit at the bar. Pricing is reasonable. We had two starters, 2 entrees, 2 drinks each. Bill with tip was $200.

I loved the jerk pork tacos! The pork was juicy, tender, and aromatic, and the mango-papaya salsa added a refreshing sweetness. I also tried the paella Oyo that my sister ordered which was sooo yummy and full of protein. The small size was more than enough! My mom ordered the oxtail stew which wasn't on their brunch/lunch menu (dinner only), but I really appreciate that they were accommodating to make that dish for her. I've never had oxtail and it was delicious--tender, perfectly sweet and savory, and paired well with the plantains. The other dishes that my family ordered were hits too (jerk pork shoulder and seafood paella). We also tried the ripe plantains pancake Oscar for a sweet treat. I love anything marshmallow, so the brûléed marshmallow cream that blanketed the pancakes was heavenly. It also came with a plantain on top and a few other fruits to balance out the sweetness. Overall, we left full and all around very satisfied. The staff showed us such warm hospitality and came around often to check on us, despite being an almost packed house. The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere had a fun lively energy. With indoor and outdoor seating options, anywhere you get seated is a nice spot. Can't wait to visit again to try their dinner menu items and drinks, and hopefully catch some live music!

Bodega Kitchen and Cocktails is located in the corner of a plaza and could easily be missed. Don't…read morelet that happen to you as this hidden gem serves up very flavorful cuisine. With authentic flavors and food items, there's not many like it around town. Bodega serves up food from the Caribbean Islands. One of their most popular dishes is their jerk chicken. They have this both as a chicken wing appetizer and as a plated dinner. I personally really enjoy white meat when it comes to chicken and the dinner plate was leg and thigh so I opted to go with the wing appetizer. My only complaint about it was its size. I thought it could have had more wings as I thoroughly enjoyed each one with the jerk sauce I added to it. The wings were very crisp on the outside and full of flavor. Adding the jerk sauce or their house made hot sauces enhanced the flavor even more. I could really see myself coming just for these wings! I also had the Cubano sandwich. This hot, pressed sandwich has ham, cheese, pickles, and mustard. It's a popular item that also is bursting with flavor. The combination of all the ingredients was mouthwatering. It comes with a side of fries to round out the meal. Service at Bodega was very nice. We found the servers to be very patient with us and the food came out reasonably. I was specifically there for a birthday party where we had cake being served from outside the restaurant. Bodega has a cake cutting charge, but seeing our tiny cake they waived it for us! It's a cute restaurant and definitely different than many you will find around Sacramento. If you're in the pocket area, Bodega is well worth a visit!

We ordered the plantain nachos, jerk chicken, guava shrimp, and pineapple upside down cake. Our party ordered margaritas, which they said was on the stronger side. Our food was good, we also ordered yucca fries but our server forgot. Our favorite was their plantains. Their dessert was a bit dry, but flavor was good. All in all, good experience.
