I love coming Dal Rae for date night! This restaurant has been around for many years and it's located in the unexpected Pico Rivera area. It's a little hidden gem! It's a steakhouse so expect steakhouse prices, our favorite is the veal chop - it's always perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. We really enjoy the table-side cesar salad - depending on who's preparing it, you get a little bit of a show. The parking is valet only - $6 The place is always packed -especially on weekends. The atmosphere is great - like 90's classic steakhouse. The waiters use crumbers to clean off your table and the service is generally pretty good. Highly recommend this place for date nights or special ocassions. read more

This place is great, I love the old classic look, great ambiance, the food is great. I had the prime rib, great choice. My wife had the filet mignon and she loved it. The service is also great, next time we want to try the table side dessert. We will be back to try other menu options. read more

After knowing of Dal Rae for basically forever, I finally had the chance to come in. What a great place! Its like stepping back in time. A dim lit restaurant. A lounge singer. It was a really cool classic vibe. We had the table side Caesar. This was delicious. Highly recommend it! For my entree I had the bone in ribeye. Cooked perfectly to my request of medium rare plus-thats five stars right away for me. I think I should have asked for an herbed butter. It was slightly underseasoned but I asked for some chimichurri and that helped. It was a huge portion and quality was excellent. I forgot to ask for the chocolate souffle so I'll definitely be back for another steak and dessert next time! read more

Classic LA eating experience Food was on point , the salmon was perfect and mashed potatoes were just right , broccoli was not soggy but tasted fresh and delicious. The service was exceptional, from valet , to the busboys to the waitress. All made me feel welcome . The ambiance is timeless and you never know who you might see there . read more

Visiting @dalraerestaurant - an iconic, family-owned American fine-dining restaurant in Pico Rivera, known for its classic, retro atmosphere and tableside preparations of dishes like Steak Diane and Caesar salad. I will take the opportunity anytime to visit this place especially during the DineLA.com where we can sample classic menus at a special pre-fixe rate. Beside known for it's famous for high-quality aged prime beef, fresh seafood, and classic cocktails, they also offering a nostalgic experience with live piano music - and we specially pick Thursday as our friend singing there every Thursday. This family owned restaurant has been there for a long time. They even shown their original menus when they open in 1951. Can you believe that their lobster and steaks priced around $2.5? When you come in, you can feel their elegant mid-century decor with a piano bar and live entertainment. They also have a banquets room for private meetings (see the last pictures). Very busy for Thursday night dinner. Look at that special dinner me us during Dine LA. It's actually a steal if you compare it with the regular menus. We had a great Time even though the guys get distracted with the basket ball tournament on the TVs. read more

Went again for lunch for the holidays. A wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. We were greeted by nice valets and a hostess who was smiling. Our server, Dawn, was so pleasant. She was friendly and recommended some items for us. The food was fantastic- as usual. Steak was cooked perfectly. Stroganoff was the best we have had. Veal was tender and tasty. Soufflé was incredible. Perfect flavors. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner. Especially during the holidays - so festive. read more

I made reservations for Dal Rae Restaurant for 5pm on a Wednesday night. We sat in the main dining area, which reminded me of a 50s era Chicago chop house with its decor, moody lighting, and round booths. But as soon as you walk into the room with the bar, piano, and bathrooms, the smell and vibe were giving Las Vegas Fremont Street. Quite a stark difference. Service was excellent. Dawn was our server, and she was so sweet and helpful. Our food came out in a timely manner as well, which was a huge plus. We started with the Ahi Sashimi on Toast and Mushrooms Stuffed with Crab. Honestly, I just thought that the appetizers were just OK. They were tasty but not mind-blowing. Comfort food at best. My coworker raved about the Chilean Seabass last time he was at the restaurant, so I had to try it for myself. It really was fantastic. The fish was moist and flaky, and even the grilled asparagus were cooked to perfection. Dal Rae's martinis were off the charts. I tried a few flavors including their pear martini (Dawn's favorite and mine as well), espresso martini, watermelon basil martini, and chocolate martini. read more

Dal Rae Restaurant - Chilean Seabass - Steakhouses Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

I've been to this restaurant several times and have always enjoyed sitting in the bar area -- they have adorable little half-booths that make the experience feel special. So when I was able to grab a same-day 5:30pm reservation specifically for the bar, I was excited and assumed I'd be seated at one of those cozy booths or at least a reasonable table. Instead, when I checked in, I was escorted to a table literally between the waiter station and two employees folding linens. It felt like an afterthought -- definitely not the experience you expect from an expensive restaurant where you're planning to spend good money. I politely asked the host if there was another option because the lounge area had several open tables. Instead of making any effort to help, she told me those tables were "requested" and basically said that since I made my reservation today, this bad table was all I could expect. No apology, no empathy, no customer-service mindset -- just snooty, condescending attitude. I even asked if I could be put on a waiting list for a regular table, and she dismissed that too, telling me it wouldn't be until "probably 9 PM." It was clear they weren't interested in offering any solution at all. For a restaurant of this caliber, the attitude and lack of hospitality were shocking. The experience was upsetting enough that it completely changed how I view this place, and unfortunately, I don't see myself returning anytime soon. And apparently dont make same day reservations. We all work hard for our money and don't need to be treated in this manner. read more

visited Del Rea for the first time today, I had always wanted to try it. I am sorry to say it did not meet my expectations. I was expecting a nice restaurant and it was, but it had a old cigarette scent... It made feel like I was in a fancy restaurant in Las Vegas so much so I kept wondering where the slot machines were. The signature bread was ok at best..this restaurant may be for some people but it far overated for me... Sorry Del Rae! read more

Food and and ambiente is so nice their salad and steaks are am excellent will def recommend

This place is definately one I'd put on your list. Be aware that this place is reservation only otherwise you can order to go online and does valet parking only. Once you walk in you can tell this place is a cut above the rest as your transported back in time to a old fancy styled sit down restaurant with the low lighting, white table clothes and comfortable black booth and chair seatings. Service was amazing. From the front desk greeting, to the friendly wait staff, Del Rae's knows how to make you feel important. Ordered a Cuban sandwich with the steak fries and it was delicious! The quality of the ingredients is top notch. Will definately be back again. read more

Dal Rae Restaurant - Partially eaten Cuban sandwich and steak fries. - Steakhouses Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

Dal Rae is just such a gem and I'm sad I hadn't found it sooner. I came here two nights in a row because of the good service and atmosphere. Back to back such amazing food and attentive waiters, food was consistently amazing. My family has been here many times and raves about how delicious it is. Shrimp cocktail is fantastic, biggest shrimp(almost like lobster) and ceaser salad and calamari, I don't think you can order anything bad on the menu. I ordered the Chilean sebass and shared the peppered steak with my sister, WOW. Extremely tender meat. Had a bite of the fillet mignon and was blown away. I ordered the chicken on the second night, and I think I was even more blown away. Butter cake was ordered back to back nights because it is just that good, if you order any dessert get the butter cake. Too freaking good. Everything is delicious. Drinks taste great, I asked for less sugar in the cucumber martini the second night and they accommodated it so well. Overall it feels like a blast to the past while maintaining an elegant ambiance. I have been to many steakhouses and not one compares to what Dal Rae delivered. I plan to attend dal Rae for my future birthdays and more family gatherings read more

This is a Classic. Old fashioned steak house with dim lights and leather booths. Excellent service and a great menu. It never disappoints, unless you can't get a reservation! I love the relish tray and bread they serve when you are seated. BUT don't fill up, cheese bread is served with dinner. Great steaks, Prime Rib, the Sea Bass À la Ben is one of my favorites. They even have a lounge area with a piano player. Try this place out for your next special occasion, birthday or celebration. They even have private rooms available. We had my milestone celebration and it was spectacular. read more

Came here for a business dinner with some clients. Great spot, very nice inside, but keep it dimly lit for a perfect ambiance. Feels like I stepped into a spot Good Fellas would dine at nightly. Classic Steakhouse. The servers and staff were amazing, our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and we had some great mixed drinks and drafts. (Stella of course) I got the Bone in Ribeye, medium rare (the only cut you should order in my opinion) tender and full of flavor, marbled with fat, just the right amount. It was delicious. Comes with fried onions on top, a side of veggies and I got brown rice as my other side. I opted for a starter salad as well with Blue Cheese. They have excellent Blue Cheese, one of my favorites. I would recommend coming and splurging a bit, whether it is your diet or on your budget, it is worth the indulgence once in a while to enjoy a really nice dinner at a great historic spot. Be prepared, It is pricey though, four of us with Dinner, top shelf drinks and tip was about $450+. Not including the Valet parking, $6.00 minimum and they only have Valet. Enjoy! read more

I haven't been to Dal Rae in over twenty years, but it was fabulous THEN, and it's fabulous NOW! Such consistency over decades is extraordinary. Everyone we dealt with: valet; host; busboys; servers; bartender...everyone exuded premium customer service. Julie was our server. She provided just the right level of attentiveness. Charming; helpful; she really knew the menu and helped guide us to some outstanding app's/salad/entrees. Food was delicious; tableside Caesar; branzino; shrimp cocktail; just terrific. We were there on a cloudy Tuesday afternoon in April and the restaurant was quite busy. That in itself says a lot! Dal Rae....what a winner....five stars all day long! read more

Dal Rae was a speak easy in its golden age. They still have a bar and a lounge vibe. We went there for high school reunion planning and it was fun. I also went with the family and had some nice steaks. Valet parking still, bring cash to tip! I was given a special invite but couldn't make it. Send more invites please! read more

I'm never send a lot of photos and videos in my lifetime. But this is restaurant is really awesome and nice. And Prime New York Steak is too good... you should trying it!!!

Food great, but old fashion but great Front hostess: 1. No eye contact. No greeting. I felt like she was doing us a favor . Please have your front of the house say hi to your customers and pretend like we matter. It was a Wednesday night. We spent $800 at your restaurant. Waitress: 4 . She was nice and efficient. GM: Lawrence. When he was told. He said he won't say anything tonight to the hostess. He did apologize. Valet: attitude. Once again. And on CAMERA, we caught him urinating on our car. We said nothing to set this off. Once again, Lawrence said it was someone else. We have a video of the entire incident. Shame on you Dal Rae. Your restaurant has ZERO class. Poor customer service. We won't be back. We can go elsewhere with our $800 for 4. Save yourselves the trip. Eat elsewhere. It's a classless place. read more

Overly crowded Dinning areas! You can practically touch elbows with the people next to you. Totally a FIRE HAZZARD!

Dal Rae is a staple in SGV- something I learned as part of my visit! The restaurant itself is located in Pico Rivera and feels a little misplaced given its surroundings. Parking is valet only- something that didn't quite make sense to me either given the vast parking available- it just seems unnecessary for the lot size and the already ample parking. The service was fine but felt a little... disjointed. For the steakhouse experience, I felt that there was little coordination of wine pouring as well as knowing the available wines. We had to re-select from the wine menu because something was not available. Anywho- the food itself was good. We loved their bread options, and the couple appetizers like the salad and calamari were good. I personally enjoyed my prime rib with ample sauce and cooked to medium. read more

Dal Rae is a steakhouse in Pico Rivera. It's been there for a long time. The food is great and so is the service. My family loves steak and it's fairly close to all our houses so it's a great option for us. It's become a favorite for special occasions. The food and service is always great. We definitely have favorites now. For appetizers, we have ordered oysters, crab cake, fried calamari, stuffed mushrooms with crab, and popcorn shrimp. All of them were good. Oh and the in house made Caesar salad! That is a must order. They say one order is for two people but we've split it amongst our family. For entrees, my favorite is their Chilean sea bass with garlic mashed potatoes. However, the rest of my family love their steak. They have order prime rib, the bone in ribeye, and the filet mignon. I have also tried their swordfish but I just go back to the sea bass. My dad also likes veal so he's ordered the veal osso buco which he liked too. For desserts, we've ordered their soufflés! It's not on the menu but you can ask for them and you have to order them when you first order since they take about 30 min to make. We have also ordered their crème brûlée and New York cheesecake. We have also seen other parties order banana foster and cherries jubilee which looked and smelled delicious. read more

I went 2x for NYE. I enjoy their 3 course special meal. Need more parking space instead of valet.

Came here to celebrate my friend & i's birthday. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and fancy. We came as a walk in but reservations are recommended - luckily we didn't have to wait. FYI parking lot is valet only - it'll be hard to find street parking nearby and it's $6 (they do take card if you don't have cash). We got the sea bass, prime rib, cream corn & various forms of potatoes as sides lol. Prime rib was delicious and flavorful - really enjoyed it. Sea bass was good but I don't know, I didn't love the flavor personally. Cream corn had high potential, but i don't know if it was just ours but it was way too salty. The flavor was good though. The mashed potatoes / baked potatoes are standard. Overall I'm glad I tried this place out & it's a great place to have a nice dinner & celebrate. read more

Delicious food, wonderful service, great bar, and cool vibe! I highly recommend commend Dal Rey!

This restaurant was recommended by my father n law. Valet parking only. Very busy place. Samantha was our server tonight she was fantastic. Cozy atmosphere. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the DineLA price fix meal. I ordered the Cesar salad, Chilean sea bass and baked potato. For desert the Pineapple upside down cake. Cheesecake was better tasting. Things I loved the bread first they bring you sourdough and breadsticks. Then they bring you garlic cheese bread which is really good. They prepared the loaded potato for you nice touch. Also the chilled forks for the salad I loved that. read more

I cannot say enough to praise this restaurant. I have been eating here for over 20 years. The owner is awesome and at times comes to your table and prepares your dessert. The staff is professional and the food is one of the best in the state. Always a good night when I come for dinner...the piano bar...service. Hidden gem and top tier if you ask me. Try the lemon drops and surf n turf and I guarantee you will be back every chance you get. read more

Came for our anniversary dinner and just loved the entire experience. A vast variety of wines and drinks, plenty of meal options if you're not a steak fan, excellent service and exceptional food. I got the pepper filet which was great, but we also splurged and got the waygu which was melt in your mouth incredible. Tableside Cesar is always fun to watch being made and it was delicious. The soufflé is not on the dessert menu but I'm so glad I asked for it, just heavenly. Only slight complaint is how dark it is in there. But I loved the aesthetics and old school vibes. read more

Fantastic place with great food, relaxing ambience and totally awesome music on Thursday/Friday/Saturday.

Overall, this place is great at its food and service. Many come here for celebrations, business meetings, and fancy meals. PARKING - valet only. They now recently accent card to pay for your valet FOOD - VERY good! From what I gathered from my colleagues, there are some items that are just "good" as opposed to "superb!", but overall, their food is very delicious. The cookie and ice cream dessert they give you for your birthday is delicious and their steak is always cooked perfectly to your liking. SERVICE - This is where it's taken up a notch! They really tend to you and servers are very observant if your water jug or drinks need to be refilled. AMBIANCE - Think "old timey business". My work frequently takes clients here and comes here for business lunches/dinners/celebrations. It gives a dark, low-light, personal ambiance. The demographic is older as well, especially during the day. It's a simple, fancy American restaurant people go when they want a nicer dining experience. read more

Finest service,some of or the best food in town. Our first choice when we want a great meal.

Came here for Dine LA. I personally don't think it was too busy when we got there. We went at 8:30pm and though there were plenty of people, it seemed they were all mostly done with their meals. Still, it took a very long time for our food to come out. My soup du jour came out within. Reasonable time. I got the lobster bisque. I was not too much of a fan of it. It was just okay. A bit heavier than I expected. Our main course came out about 30 minutes later. This is a bit too ridiculous. I got the pasta with lobster. My husband had the steak. Man, that pasta was SO good. Great amount of lobster. Perfect amount of butter and lemon. I suppose they gave us free cheese bread about 20 minutes into the wait, but I waited to eat the cheese bread with my pasta, so by the time my pasta came out, the cheese bread was cold. My husband said the steak was only okay, but since I didn't try, I can't comment on it. Dessert: I forgot the names, but wouldn't recommend the chocolate mousse one if you want a light dessert. It was too strong. I got the lemon nougat. Perfectly light for me. Especially after a big meal. My husband also ordered beer. It never came. Service was good in the beginning and the end, but never came during that 20 long minute in between. Overall we were there about 1.5 hours. A bit too long in my opinion. Ambiance: they had live music. That was nice. It's a bit dark, trying to be romantic, but I felt it was missing something... more of an old school bar feel instead of romantic. Instead, I just felt sleepy. read more
