As a new resident to El Segundo I have had quite a few experiences at Second City Bistro - not all good..... When I go with a girfriend that is very well know by everyone is this small town the restaurant shines, we are greated very warmly and the food and service alike have been great. On the four or five occasions that I have entertained guests there the experiences have been completely different - mostly in the service area. The servers are slow and unattentive and seem to gather and speak to friends in the bar and have been generally been unavilable. One evening I waited for almost an hour for entrees to arrive and the Green Lip Mussels in Green Curry over pasta entree was so spicy hot that is was not edible - Not a good thing as the menu mentionioned nothing of the spice.
