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.

Perfection at its best! When the manager and owner both come past every table to greet you, you know you are in a place with perfect hospitality. The drinks are remarkable and very retro swanky! Get dressed up when you go! fun and exciting! Some of the best steaks in the country!

Loved our experience here! Ordered the pepper steak and Chilean Seabass and both were cooked to perfection. Also had the oysters Rockefeller which were delish. The service was excellent and very attentive. We were seated as soon as we arrived and I honestly have no complaints. Would definitely return!

The Dal Rae no longer includes a relish tray with meals. It has to now be purchased separately. I’ve been dining there for over 40 years; very disappointing

Food is over-hyped and over-priced. Nothing special at all. Service was great though. That being said, I’ve had a better experience at Black Angus.

It's been years since I've been here and not like I remembered it. I ambiance was good but the service was very disappointing. Forgot our drinks then brought the wrong one. Was snippy when we sent it back. Never came back once we got our meal to see if we needed anything. Crab in our appetizer was didn't tasting and oysters had been sitting out to long. Our main meal was great.

The front desk hostess was not as welcoming as in the past hostesses. She didn't greet us when we walked in. She didn't tell us to follow her. She just held the menus and looked at us. She placed the menus on the table and just stood there. I told her thank you.

Dal Rae is okay but not great as I expected it it to be. I spent over $200 for a dinner of three and felt the food was just okay. Also, I could only order fries for my little 2 year old because they had no kids friendly menu or kid entrees. As for the service, the time we waited for our food was also okay. Not too long and just fine. This said, our server Miguel was very well mannered and polite. Love how he presented the food and took care of making it a special experience as best he could. He was excellent. Something about this place and their food reminds me of when you go to a wedding event and the quality level of their entrées. So expect it to be similar but not different or special. Just good. As for the ambience, it was really dated and certainly needs updating with at least some livelier new paint colors. A bit somber, especially the carpet and ceiling panels which need to be replaced. A pet peeve of mine was how the dress code was not enforced as business casual and saw many many people in their very casual clothes and some even in house shorts. Reminds me of when people go to form a line at a buffet in Las Vegas. Definitely not the upscale restaurant I was told it was and think I can get better for my money, elsewhere. Plus, they had no live music as I read a review or website somewhere mentioned. I took my wife and kids for mother’s day for the first time at Dal Rae and will not come again unless the owners show pride of ownership and bring up their brand with a fresh interior that we can say wow, this place is great! I think the owners have given up on making their restaurant modern for new foodies compared to say the look of a Cheesecake Factory or any newer restaurant. My assumption is they have an older loyal base of patrons who don’t know the difference. If you are looking for a lunch meeting, this crowd might show this feeling I have from my past visit 4 years ago. Too pricey for what you get here if you ask me. I rather try a new restauran
