So we found this little gem! From the moment we walked in…read morewe felt so welcome. The owner Mike and server James greeted us with a warm smile and handshake. It is a BYOB but we had a chance to try Spanish wine, a great gift from Mike. My husband had the lobster crepe appetizer and I had the shrimp appetizer, both were very tasty. Hubby ordered the lamb chops for his dinner and I had the beet salad. Not an ordinary beet salad, it had Spanish bacon and duck, both dishes were delicious! We had to finish it off with the homemade flan..so happy we did! My husband wanted a little taste of ice cream and Mike brought out a tasting of 3 kinds of ice cream, strawberry, coffee and some saffron ice cream..I cannot express this enough..if they have the saffron ice cream available..GET IT!! You can thank me later! We'll definitely put this on our list for a good night out! Mike also told us, they have music on Saturday nights and he might be adding some extra special entertainment in the near future!! Thank you for a great dinner and for making us feel so welcome!

OUTSTANDING Portuguese restaurant! It's worth the drive if you're coming from afar. From start to…read morefinish everything we ate was top notch. We started with the ensalada de mariscos, and it was my favorite dish! It was OUTSTANDING, and packed with flavor. For dinner we had the vegetarian paella for one that we added shrimp to, the swordfish, and the patatas bravas. The paella is one of the best I ever had! It was perfectly spread and the edges had a slight crisp to it. The shrimp was packed with Portuguese flavor. The swordfish was very good, but on the small side. The patatas bravas was EXCELLENT! For desserts we had the pineapple cake and the chocolate basque cheesecake. The chocolate basque cheesecake stole the show! It was so delicious! The pineapple cake was good, but not something I'd order again. The staff was so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Lita in Aberdeen!

Frango. That's been on my mind recently. Since a Portuguese Instagram post or two touting it! I…read morenever really thought about bbq chicken at a restaurant. This restaurant was a last minute search idea by my brother and was the less fancy of the two he posed in Long Branch. The other was meh when I went a few years ago. I wanted hearty traditional fare in both food and ambience. Raízes fit the bill. I ordered Frango (half chicken) with Pork Ribs. Although it was one rib, it was large and the chicken sufficient. Under that protein, the plate was loaded with delicious French Fries and the other half rice. A large bowl of feijoada beans was put on the table and I shoveled many spoonfuls on my rice. The entire dish was delicious. The chicken absolutely mouthwatering. Bookmarked to return!

Unfortunately, this was a truly disappointing experience. We were a family of three hoping for a…read morenice family-style dinner, but nearly every part of the meal and service fell short. Our waiter was difficult to understand and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. The bread was so overbaked and hard we were worried about breaking a tooth. The shrimp appetizer was very good, although swimming in oil; the Iberico rib meat was greasy and came with raw garlic. When the plates were cleared, oil was spilled onto our table. Then we waited about 45 minutes for our entrees and eventually had to track someone down ourselves. We later discovered our waiter eating at the bar while we were waiting. The octopus was both charred and undercooked and far too salty. The nearly 3-inch-thick pork chop, ordered medium, was raw in the center. The "apricot brandy reduction" was essentially jam on top, and the potato chips were thick and underfried. The $37 pork chop was essentially inedible. Getting the check was another ordeal--we had to ask multiple times and were even brought another customer's check and credit card by mistake. There was no adjustment to our bill. After paying, we also had to wait to get our card back. The bartender did seem genuinely concerned when we told him what happened and ultimately offered 10% off a future visit, but after this experience, we certainly won't be returning. The shrimp were good and the bartender tried to help, but overall the food, service, and handling of the situation were far below what we expected.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with friendly and attentive service. There was no wait time, which made the evening even more enjoyable and stress free for such a large group.

My niece ordered the chocolate cake, and it was absolutely perfect. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had for a special occasion. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or any important moment, this restaurant makes the experience feel memorable and special.
