on Citysearch Dec 13, 2008Recently ate there at a catered event. The food was good but the waitresses were terrible. We suspected they were putting something in our food. And of course, we were sick the next day. If you could get past the shifty... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 25, 2006You walk in, and you're immediately drawn to the warm decor and elegant lighting. The menu has variety, but for what you pay (about $15/person for lunch), it doesn't really excite me. The wait staff was slightly... (more)

on Citysearch May 08, 2006Second City Bistro is extraordinary when it comes to fabulous wine and scrumptious food. New Zeland chef Nikki Hoelsey mixes up the menu with presentations that rival the decor. With attention to detail she orders... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 17, 2004If you like your food raw and your service rude, this is the place to go. Horrible slow service. Rude reponses regarding inquiry about meal after waiting an hour. There are so many good places in El Segundo, definitely... (more)
