Lita

"Can see how it won Esquire best new restaurant in America and is up for a James Beard award. Service was impeccable. Food exemplary. Each dish amazing. Drinks all spectacular. Think what Bear’s spot will be like season two lol. Highly recommend."

"The accolades are well deserved, Neilly and David have done it again! Our special occasion became memorable with their attention to detail in every way. Favorites included the tuna tartare, octopus, paella and steak w/fried egg; and topped off with persimmon pudding and vermouth after dinner drink."

"This is by far the most amazing dining experience I’ve ever had in my life. From the decor, to the atmosphere, to the service. I honestly couldn’t get enough! The feel is equivalent to experiencing a home cooked meal as you see the meals being cooked right before your eyes. The atmosphere breathes transparency. You can even tell by how happily and harmoniously the entire staff works, there’s no stone left unturned. Upon entry, we were greeted by the hostess, Willow. Her hospitality and energy was simply amazing. We felt welcomed immediately. Upon sitting down, we notified the bartender of my shellfish allergy. Even though certain choices that we requested on the menu had some sort of shellfish in it, they were happy to make substitutes, and the food was equally delicious. We started with the duck croquettes. I had always been skeptical about duck, because I’ve never had a great experience. However, these croquettes made me do a full 180. They were melt in your mouth delicious I swear if I can give this 10 stars, I would. We then had the octopus, the Spanish meatballs and the braised chicken spaghetti. As I’m typing this, I can still taste everything…. that’s how memorable every. single dish was. Finally, we had the duck, and pork entrées. I will never look at duck the same after this experience. My partner deeply enjoyed his pork as well! If you made it this far in my review, run, don’t walk to Lita. This is the type of hospitality that has been missing from many restaurants nowadays. And in every single interaction from start to finish, they hit the nail on the head. You can tell from the close attention to detail down to even the menu selection that they have figured out the formula. I will certainly be dining here again."
