The Dal Rae is the Southern California restaurant where 1950s classics still reign. Lobster Thermidor, Pepper Steak, Chateaubriand, Prime Rib, Fresh Fish, Lamb Chops, 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.

    For the many years I’ve gone at holiday time, food has remained consistently excellent & service attentive & friendly. Festive decor, good piano bar singers add to holiday cheer even though packed to capacity. Can have quieter more romantic dinners when you go not at peak. Few places have offered decades of tradition and excellence in LA. My favorite remains the pepper steak filet & made-from-scratch Cesar salad. Bar & wine list fine & reasonable value too.

    I had to get My own drinks at the bar, because our server took 20 minutes to get to us after we were seated. The food was mediocre at best. $69 bucks for a sea bass with 4 asparagus and a clump of mash potatoes was not worth it. Drinks are great though

    Excellent as always… The place was crowded with people enjoying their Christmas lunches. Even being crowded the service and timeliness was superb. I highly recommend this place for your work luncheon.

    We have been going to the Dal Rae first with our parents and now we continue celebrating birthdays and holidays traditions. Food is always delicious and the service always great last night was no exception. It does get a little too crowded and miss having the Cesar salad made table side and mis the complimentary relish tray especially the pickles.
