Loved the local vibe here. Looked like there were a lot of regulars hanging out to watch the fight. The owner and staff were very warm and welcoming. We were looking for a place after dinner and walked right into this pretty bar. They were chill with us since we had already eaten and just wanted to order a few cocktails. We ordered Espresso martinis and a dessert and it was all great. Will come back to check out dinner next time. read more

I love G's. The owner Gina is absolutely delightful! All the servers and bartenders are super friendly. Everything I had tried there has been delicious from drinks to food! You'll usually always catch me there on a Tuesday night cause Nick can make a mean blueberry lemon drop. That is a must for me whenever he is there. I mean make that 2 please!! They have event nights as well (follow them on insta to stay in the know). We definitely make it a point to pop over if we are out in town grabbing food or drinks elsewhere, but love to land at G's no matter where we were last. Good vibes, good peeps, good drinks, good food. Zero complaints from this girl about her favorite bar in town! read more

G'S IL Capo Dei Bar - Ahi tostadas - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - El Segundo, California

My son and I went here this weekend. We had heard about it on Facebook as people had been buying meals for others. That's what drew us here. We had a wonderful server, Nick. He was very attentive and friendly. We felt very taken care of. The ambiance was great. I personally love country music so it was refreshing as it's rare to hear country music in California I've noticed lol. We both had a smash burger. It was cooked to perfection. My son also enjoyed waffle fries and a lemonade. We hope to come back soon. read more

The smash burgers are INSANELY delicious! 10/10 would recommend. They come with these bomb waffle fries too. Their craft cocktails are great too! I, personally am a sucker for Espresso Martinis! The ambiance is a bit funky, so don't let that deter you for staying! The service was great and the food comes out promptly. read more

Summary: A spirited atmosphere with good food, friendly service, and a variety of drinks. Jalapeno Nuggets and Broccolini Bang Bang stood out. Music is a bit loud, but still conversation-supporting. Reservations recommended for prime time. Not a big space, so seating is somewhat limited. On Friday evening I made reservations for four people on Saturday evening at 7pm. We arrived just before and were seated immediately, taking the last table for four available. Inside, the atmosphere was fun and festive for the holidays. Lots of people hanging out and enjoying beverages while talking to the bartender. Everyone seemed happy and lively, and the music was an eclectic mix of genres playing pretty loudly over the soundsystem. We were seated in the corner near the kitchen in a table with high-top chairs. At first, my father-in-law was a little concerned about the chairs because he has a bad back and uses a special pillow to sit on, but these ended up being quite comfortable and he didn't express any complaints after being seated. Soon our server Hayley introduced herself to take our drink orders and answer initial questions. We ended up ordering three large beers and an espresso martini, all of which were enjoyed by their recipients. We also started with the Jalapeno Nuggets and Dirty Dip & Bread appetizers. Neither was super substantial in portion, but both were tasty and well constructed with textures/temperatures. Soon we ordered the rest of our food items including the Pork Belly Pops (overall good, but some chewy chunks) and Broccolini Bang Bang (very tasty and nicely al dente), and my in-laws ordered a chicken wrap with waffle fries (the wrap was quite large, and the fries were surprisingly good). The total came out to around $140, which is reasonable for the portion of food we got with associated quality and freshness. Hayley was very attentive throughout, and we had a good time. My wife and I look forward to coming back again to check out the Happy Hour specials sometime. read more

Great little spot that I met a friend of mine for dinner at last month. I was slightly disappointed that a lot of the items did not come with a side, so everything is pretty much a la carte and the portions are on the smaller side. But the service was good, decor was very pretty, and the bathrooms were clean. read more

What a fun atmosphere with very enthusiastic staff members. Every dish and drink brought out was accompanied by a resounding cheer of encouragement. It was like the whole meal was a momentous occasion. While I wish they had allowed my hangar and smash to be cooked mediums rare, even at medium was a treat, especially after I just went for it abc poured the sauce atop the steak instead of dipping it. This is a great place with great food and the best servers in the game. read more

I really want to like this place but we've been twice and it didn't appeal to my tastes. Their food is good, but I wasn't wild about their cocktail selection ( a little over the top), and the decor seems all over the place. When I first heard about it I was told it was a speakeasy but this is not that. Locals seem to love it. read more

I got to try this spot recently. I met up with a friend for drinks. I had their Mexican candy margarita which was spicy and tasty. I would go back for the drink alone but I'm hoping next time I get the opportunity to try some of their food. read more

I have been here several times but will never go back. I was surprised to find the wait staff being less than friendly, because that had not been my experience before. But what cost this place my future business was when I had given them my credit card to cover my party before any one else in my party had even arrived and they still allowed someone else to pay for the entire bill. They did not honor the first credit card down rule. And it wasn't that they forgot or it got lost. They said it was a conscious decision to disregard my card and use one given to them hours later. This may not matter to a lot of people, but it does to me. read more

It's a bar. The bartender was helpful with recommendations and skilled at making drinks. Atmosphere was typical for a bar venue. Food was ok. Korean fried chicken sandy was tasty if you put the Kimchi in over the tasteless cooker slaw. The waffle fries were the highlight! The chilaquiles looked delicious but were lacking flavor. Took FOREVER to get our check although we were accommodated with our split the bill request. Bartender A++, Food C+, Atmosphere B, Clean. None of us ventured to inspect the "facilities" so can't say. read more

If you are looking for a family environment this is it. Owners are friendly and people awesome. Didn't try food as yet but I will come back just because the welcoming here. Give it a try.. my first time here not my last read more

In a word...impressed! We wondered in early on a Saturday evening. Probably got there around 4:30pm (no, I'm not that old yet but we had a late breakfast / lunch so...early dinner). Glad we did. It gets busy here early. There's a high energy vibe when you walk in. Music is on the louder side but not club loud. For a speakeasy, you might have to speak louder but that didn't seem to be an issue for anyone inside. Open dining area, lots of tables for two along the wall, a few taller tables for 4 to 6, open bar seating and a large community style seating area right up front by the sidewalk window. Service is spot on - like, lightning right on. We came in, were greeted quickly, told we could pick our own table and were seated right away. In less than a minute, a serve appear with menus and took the time to explain the sharing side of the menu vs. the entree side. Both sides looked great. Lots of fun choices on the menu, alligator, jack fruit, duck, loaded waffle fries, etc. But, they also have "normal" stuff like a burger. We just had to try the alligator and, while to us it didn't taste like chicken, it was good. The creole sauce had a slight kick but was perfect for the dish. Then, like any good Chick-Fil-A lover, we had to get the waffle fries. But they put a twist on it with black beans, queso, guacamole, and a creme sauce. The only thing I didn't like about this was I ran out of waffle fries with some black beans and queso still on the plate. I soaked it up later with the edges of my burger... My wife had the jack fruit enchiladas. We originally asked to add chicken to them as we both prefer meat but the waitress suggested she try it without the chicken as they prepare the jack fruit in a way to mimic chicken. We took her suggestion and she was right! She really enjoyed it and would get it again. Table share and entrees run from $10 to $20, the vibe was fun and we would definitely return. Hope your experience is as good as ours and...enjoy!!! read more

I had been following G's build up to their grand opening and was excited to finally check it out in person. From the Italian name and online photos, social postings, that it would be small shareable plates, I was expecting the vibe to be a upscale, local bácaro with some good cicchetti, the Venice-style small bites found during aperitivo, the Italian version of happy hour, with olives, cheeses, salumi, maybe some mini pizzas and of course a pasta or two. My Italian expectations also included the bar program as I have been looking for a good Hugo spritz and some big Tuscan reds. I also thought this was a smart way to differentiate from previous Italian tenants and other Italian places in town. Upon arrival, I loved the vibe, decor, except the TV's on the wall above the dining tables ( see photo) as it kinda ruins the upscale vibe and who is watching them over there - the bartender's? The one's above the bar make more sense and I can let those slide though there are already plenty of places to watch sports/TV's in El Segundo. Happy to see that they expanded the actual bar from previous tenants as I would sit at the bar if by myself or just with one other person. Sat in the orange couch area with a small group of friends, love a good lounge vibe and was promptly greeted, given menu's. Here is where I was disappointed, minus the one star, as nope, nothing Italian about it except one prosecco and the idea of small plates (for the table section on the menu) to share along with larger entrees (for you section on the menu) that our server explained are pretty much shareable was well. Lots of carbs: fried this, bread with that. The server also explained that the bar program is a work in progress, ok I get it, you just opened, no Hugo spritz for me. We ordered from both sides of the menu to share all and all the food was delicious and the mostly California wine list decent, friends who did order cocktails said spot on. No dessert menu currently. In summary: off brand but the food was delicious, it is positioned as Eclectic Fare on the website but not really when looking at other places in town, where it is easy to get many similar items with a TV. Great service and great, upscale, lounge vibe ( minus the dining wall TV's). We did give our server our feedback and she did mention the owner is open to evolving over time. Will return when the back patio opens for the Summer and see if I can enjoy my Hugo spritz with some cicchetti then. read more

I will say this place looks amazing and the food and cocktail menu is too. We shared the hanger steak, chicken piccata and black bean salad. All way over what I thought it would be for the price. We also got a rum sour from the cocktail menu, and a lil pick me up old fashion to begin with and I have never had those before anywhere and they were great. Continued with a dirty martini and IPA which was still perfect. Love this place, love the staff too. They are so friendly! Our server Cecily made the experience even better. We will be back and be repeat customers. read more

Went to this new local place early on a Thursday and we were pleasantly surprised to see how busy there were. Liked the vibe inside with the exception of the numerous TVs. Service was spot on and the staff worked well together. We started with a beer for my husband (points for having more than one alcohol free option) and a whiskey on the rocks for me. They have not yet completed their cocktail menu which is a huge misstep given that they are a bar. Should have nailed down their cocktail menu before opening. We devoured the dirty dip and bread. That was a total yum. Then we ordered two items "For the Table" and two "For You". All four came just about the same time so in hindsight we should have spaced it out. First observation was that the portions are way too big, especially for a shareable like the salmon "pops". This dish should be half the size and renamed "bites" because it sounds like the salmon is served on popsicle sticks. The broccolini was delicious and appropriately sized. Korean fried chicken also delicious and too big for the price. The jackfruit enchiladas were okay and there should be two on the plate, not three. The large portions at such reasonable prices are not sustainable for the long term. We'd love to see this new restaurant survive and managing costs will be key to their success. The diners next to us pointed out the owner and had she stopped by we would have shared our thoughts. But she was saying hello to only those she recognized. Missed opportunity to greet customers and develop diner loyalty. read more

Rude bartenders!!! The service was awful and the bartenders were snotty. I went with a couple of friends to grab a night cap and we did not like how the bartenders were treating us. They need to hire new bartenders that are not rude or that are not arrogant. read more

Went for brunch and wasn't expecting much since it usually isn't that busy (at least during the day it's not). The food was pretty good, loved their waffle fries. Drinks were also nicely made and liked the decor. However I will say they can work on their service. Our server walked away before we could finish our drink order and didn't smile or ask how we were doing, if our food was good, etc. Being friendly in a customer service job is the easiest thing to do and it just wasn't that great. Hope that experience was a one-off read more

An amazing little gem of a restaurant. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The decor is on point. Effortlessly cool. Felt like something out of a Jim Jarmusch movie. And bonus points for the glassware. Great addition to the El Segundo dining scene - - read more

Wow!! A thousand times WOW!! I have never been to this part of El Segundo before in the 30 years I've lived in LA but my friend wanted us to come down to meet a her new boyfriend so we met here for drinks and dinner. From moment 1, the staff was so lovely, welcoming & friendly!! And as soon as I saw that they put anchovies in their Caesar Salad dressing (AS GOD INTENDED), I knew I was in the right place. The Dirty Dip Bread was amazing, my Caesar Salad with Chicken was perfection and I am still dreaming of the Broccolini Bang Bang!! And my Dirty Martini was the perfect amount of FILTHY!! I live in the San Fernando Valley so making that drive on a Friday evening was completely outside my comfort zone but I plan to do it again.... repeatedly and every time we will have to visit G's!! read more

Let me preface this by saying, the sole reason I am giving 4 stars in lieu of 5 is because of their cocktail program (or lack thereof) and not a large selection of beer and wine. That being said, I really don't know what is better here at G's the food (we shared jalapeño bites, broccolini, smash burger, loaded fries and *their version of* chicken piccata) Every. Single. Plate. Was. Beyond. Delicious. OR the ridiculously warm, friendly, welcoming and attentive service from our server Hannah (LOVE HER!!!!!), Nick the manager or G herself?! They were just beyond fantastic and makes me want to return just to be treated that way while noshing on yummy food. The vibe there is the absolute best-- it's a combination of a lounge, eatery and upscale neighborhood watering hole. I will definitely return in a month or so when the bar program is rolled out (they will allow their skilled bartenders to bring their spin on it) and have all the wrinkles ironed out. If you're looking for a lively place to eat, have a beer and/or basic cocktail that won't break the bank, run here! If you're into craft cocktails -- wait a bit. I'm sure they will come through for us. read more

Very nice staff and excellent decor but at the heart of every restaurant is the food and this place was average at best. I hate to write a review like this especially for a new business but the food was lacking flavor and quality. I liked the idea of the whimsical menu like the alligator starter but everything was just not good. Will revisit in a year to see if it's improved. read more

Finally got to try dinner at this newish local spot. We had the Salmon Pops, Jack Fruit Enchiladas, and Chicken Piccata. All three were excellent. Service was friendly and attentive. The only minor complaint is that their red wine is not served at cellar temperature, so definitely too warm. (Worth investing in a wine refrigerator for food this good!) The white wine came out nicely chilled. The interior is gorgeous, the only miss on that is the exposed ceiling. Doesn't match the aesthetic and makes the acoustics a little rough. A tin ceiling would be a beautiful finishing touch to the rest of the decor. Overall, great restaurant. Looking forward to trying brunch on the patio! read more
