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.

Great place for a business lunch or just lunch with anyone special. Excellent quality of steaks and Seafoods. Waitresses are attentive and accomadationg as possible. I always feel relaxed and comfortable dining at the Dal. A few of my favorites include Oysters Rockefeller, Ahi Tuna on toast, Shimp Boat, Ahi Tuna Salad, Sea Bass, Pepper Steak,(Filet Mignon), Filet Mignon and of course the Chocolate or Grand Marnier Soufflé's.

My 2nd time here. Food: We had the Ribeye Cap, Bone-In Ribeye & Mac n Cheese. Now, compared to Mastros, Flemings, Mortons, Del Friscos and Ruth Chris this place is well below my standard and ranks last. But still on the scale. For the pricing they have id chose mastros or mortons as they are fairly similar. Wait time: Too long for even the Caesar salad to come. Ambiance: Old school, vintage decor & booths. The tables are so close to each other that people coming & going kept turning sideways, not to mention the servers bumping Into the table. The place exemplifies maximizing space. I saw the busser go around two times around the tables to try and bring my ice tea. The music from the bar was too loud for the primary dining room, but if I was in the bar, it would be a vibe. Service: Attentive and informative. But, too busy to pay close-close attention. And I say this because we went without refills for longer then I would say to be normal.

This was our first experience at the Dal Rae. We live in Orange County but had heard about this restaurant many years ago when I lived in Downey. I misunderstood the name to be Del Ray and thought it was Mexican food (which I love) What a surprise to read the menu on line! Steaks, Seafood, Duck, etc and all looked great. Very classic old school entrees with that old Hollywood flair in decor and service. When we arrived we were met by the very courteous Valet staff. Seated as we entered. The were no reservations available except for 4:30 on a Saturday night but we took it. So glad that we did it was a great experience.

This place has been on my list for a few years now and I'm glad I finally went. I love the older fine dining restaurants that still have the energetic lounge on one side and the dark lit dining room on the other. The food was excellent and so was the service. Now it's in my rotation of places to go eat.

Service was great. The wait staff was attentive and very thorough when serving the food. She guided us through the menu and helped choose an amazing wine. The portions were perfect and delicious. Escargots were tasty and the fried calamari was the best I’ve had. Steak was cooked perfect and the chocolate dessert completed the excellent meal. The hostess was very accommodating and sat us at a table that was nice and quiet. Ambience was great and will definitely be back to try the other offering in their extensive menu.

Excellent food, ambiance, service, and overall experience. We were looking for a place to wait out some traffic and found this place. With its mid century modern setting, old school atmosphere, and staff. Not to mention the food. Table side Caesar, oysters Rockefeller (to die for) topped off with seared ahi, sea bass and lobster tail that literally melted in our mouths. The worst part of the evening was giving up beef for lent. Can’t wait to go back for the prime rib and filet mignon. Our meal was ended with crème brûlée all brought to us by Brenden who ensured we were treated to the best experience. I can only add that this place is worth the drive and a shocking surprise in the city of Pico Rivera. Thank you Brenden you made sure this will be our new celebratory restaurant.

I love the Dal Rae and have been going there for decades. This is the first time I was not satisfied with my meal. I ordered the shrimp scampi for lunch. It did not have enough flavor, and the shrimp was small. It came with asparagus. It was not enough food to satisfy. If I had not ordered an appetizer, I would have still been hungry. If you want scampi, go to the Derby. Their shrimp tastes better, is larger and satisfying.
