WON 2021 THE "BEST IN SOUTHLAND" FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES. IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY,SOUTH BAY, AND THE SAN FERNADO VALLEY.
The Dal Rae is the Southern California restaurant where 1950s classics still reign. Lobster Thermidor, Pepper Steak, Chateaubriand, Prime Rib, Fresh Fish, Rack of Lamb, Steak Diane and Cherries Jubilee prepared tableside are among more than 100 items on a truly retro menu, complete with some of the city's best martinis. Opened in 1958, the Dal Rae has maintained its original atmosphere, too, right down to a piano bar with live entertainment. And, most important, it has preserved a tradition otherwise found only in private clubs -- knowing its customers by name and treating them like the most important people in the whole wide world. The Dal Rae is located close to the 5 freeway and half-way between LA County, Orange County and The Valley. It is a perfect location for business meetings or entertaining friends and family.

    We are fortunate that Marcy always sits us at a perfect table! Server Rene was outstanding, very professional! The Ahi on toast with avocado is the best! Gabriel made us a very tasty, table side, Caesar Salad! The Dal Rae is our absolute favorite place to feast! We even bought gift cards for a wedding gift! We live over 40 miles away, but it is so worth it! Thank you, Dal Rae!!!

    The service and ambiance were excellent, but the food this time was only so-so. My friend ordered the petit filet migmon only to find it tough unlike past experiences. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and found it mushy, also unlike past experiences. Very disappointed in the quality of the food, especially because of the high price point.

    Dal Rae’s is one of my favorite steakhouses! So classic and everything is done old school and well done! We took my husband for his birthday, it was his first time, and he said this is the best restaurant experience he has had in ten years living here and mind you he works at the Four Seasons and has worked at restaurants for over 10 years!

    Just wanted to complement both Lidia and Dora for making our visit to your fine establishment such a special event. Lidia greeted us and got us situated letting us know that perhaps Dora would continue to assist us with dinner. The gentleman who prepared the Ceasar salad was also very exceptional in his duties.

    Our server Katrina was excellent. Food wasn’t what I was hoping for. We were there with a party of 6 and to celebrate 2 birthdays. I ordered their famous pepper steak. The 16oz. I asked for medium. The steak wasn’t seasoned well. I had to salt it generously. It also was cooked more than medium. My husband ordered the pork chop. He also had to add salt to it. It was also cooked more that he asked. The bill was $600 and at that price point we were expecting a better meal.

    Been awhile since I have dined here. The atmosphere was great, the food was fantastic and our Server Javier did a fantastic job! My date and I split a 16 oz prime rib, and it was perfectly prepared!! With the sides of asparagus and baked potato, it was a classic steak dinner! Finished it off with some great crème brûlée!! Great date night location!!!

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday with grandkids and everything was very good but we were seated at circular table between the dining booths. I assume it was because we required a high chair. My chair got bumped by staff and customers throughout the evening which detracted from the overall experience.

    Dal Rae is always a winner! My favorite menu items are the Calamari dipped in the cream sauce, the table-side prepared Caesar Salad and the best Chilean Sea Bass I've ever eaten. For dessert, you want the Soufflé offered in either Chocolate or Grand Marnier. Enjoy

    Old School steak house. The filet was awesome! Cooked perfectly. Only knock was it felt like there were too many tables for the space, felt like I was bumping into the table behind us all night. Staff was amazing. Sat us promptly at our reservation time. Excellent experience.

    My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here after many years of trying to do so. Everything was great! Super cold martinis, loved their chopped salad and pepper steak. We topped things off with a chocolate soufflé! The prices are on the high side, but you got a lot of food, so I didn’t mind paying the higher tariff. We will definitely return!

    There were 4 in our party, table too small my husband’s arm had to have been hit at least 5 times by the servers and staff. The tables are on top of each other. Not our first time but the food quality didn’t seem as good this visit.
