Little Sister At The Point - El Segundo

I love this restaurant! The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The chicken salad is fantastic, the crispy shrimp appetizer is divine, and the crepe is amazing. Every time that I eat here I am amazed at how wonderful the dishes are....

Had dinner last week. Only bummer was I had to get up and get someone to take our order after sitting for a good ten minutes although someone did bring water but no one ever came to take our order. Interestingly the hostess who I asked about where was the wait staff Bri who was our hostess when we arrived became our waitress and took our order.Now to the good part. Food was excellent. Started with the crispy prawns Thai chilies etc. and the chicken and shiitake dumplings. I had the fried sea bass and my wife had the shaky shaky beef. My wife ended with the key lime tart. I’m not a key lime fan but this was delicious. I also had glass of the Trocken Riesling which was also delicious.Pro-tip- crispy prawns could easily be a main dishI inquired about the salt and pepper lobster which I was told was actually two lobster tails and the market price was$82 or $88. Staff seems to continually rotate between hostess server drinks so they are all multitasking to help each other and help at tables.Another tip-there is a 3% surcharge on credit cards but no surcharge for debit cards.

Meh. Food was good but not mind blowing. You could tell the prices are because of the high rent location. Service could be better. Seems way understaffed and communication among hosts and servers not good. I say this because it took 15 minutes (I pay attention to this) to get water once seated. Watched other tables seated after us get water and a menu explanation before us. On a Saturday around 6pm. Do better.

New menu, doesn't feel as well thought through as previous menu. Tried several items and all were sub par but really want to like this place. Cocktails good but service slow, don't get drinks until well after food. They are trying but def needs some work.

C'mon, in this and age who adds a 3% charge for using credit cards? Who doesn't use a credit card charge these days? If you are so desperate for revenue, then raise your prices and offer a DISCOUNT for using cash/check. It seems like a very deceptive and unreasonable business practice. The food was good, the service was OK but whoever added this semi-hidden charge is out of their mind. I didn't mind paying $100 for lunch for two but deceptiveness really gets under my skin.
