Exterior of Dal Rae
Erik G.

I've long wanted to visit Dal Rae. A friend recommended it to me, and everything I'd read about this historic restaurant had been positive. So when my wife and I were deciding where to celebrate our anniversary, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. Our son wanted to tag along, and honestly, we don't like leaving him at home when we can experience something together as a family. I love creating these memories with my wife and son, especially visiting classic establishments around Los Angeles and introducing our son to places that have been part of the city's dining history. Unfortunately, Dal Rae was more of a letdown than the memorable anniversary experience I had hoped for. The weekend ambiance is really something special. There's live music throughout the restaurant, and we were fortunate enough to get a nice booth adjacent to the piano bar. The music wasn't too loud, but it was easy to hear, and the smooth jazz was a lovely touch. The staff were friendly and kind. When everything was working, Dal Rae had that classic old-school steakhouse atmosphere that is becoming harder and harder to find. This is where things fell short. The food quality was decent, but **everything was incredibly salty.** And I actually like salty food! The tableside salad was too salty, the baked potato was overly salty, and both of our steaks were too salty. At one point, I joked that my tongue was still numb from all the salt and that I needed to grab a bottle of water. The kitchen really needs to taste the food before it goes out. Seasoning should enhance the food, not overwhelm it. Steven, the table side salad connoisseur, was one of the highlights of our visit. He was energetic, personable and clearly enjoyed what he was doing. Watching him prepare the salad table side was one of those little experiences that puts a smile on your face and creates a lasting memory. I just wish I had the heart to tell him to go a little lighter on the salt! Later, Steven was preparing the salad at a table a few booths down when the smoke alarm went off and began beeping. The dining room became extremely smoky, and several of us started coughing. Definitely not ideal during an anniversary dinner. Our server was very nice and genuinely kindhearted. He appeared relatively new and made a few miscues, but he was trying his best, so I can't fault him too much. I did notice that some larger parties and tables that appeared to be regulars seemed to receive more attention. The owner made his rounds and greeted a table right next to us but never came over to ours. I found that a little odd. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but every guest should feel equally welcomed. Whether you're a high roller or a small fry, **our money all spends the same.** This was especially noticeable because we were celebrating our anniversary. I made the reservation through OpenTable and included a note mentioning the occasion. I wasn't expecting anything extravagant, but even a simple "Happy Anniversary" would have meant a lot. Another thing that surprised me was the dress code. There's a sign outside indicating that Dal Rae has a strict dress code, yet during our visit I saw men in T-shirts and backwards hats, along with women in spaghetti straps and daisy dukes. I understand times change and restaurants have to adapt, but it was still disappointing to see. I didn't grow up going to Dal Rae, so I can't tell you whether the standards have declined from what they once were. I can only judge the experience I had. I also wish there were a little more consideration for families with children. I came across an old menu online that apparently included a free sundae with the kids' meal. That's exactly the kind of little gesture that can put a smile on a child's face and create a lasting memory. It's a shame that promotion is gone. Last year, my wife and I celebrated our anniversary at another restaurant. The service was superb, they gave us complimentary sparkling wine, and they even had crayons and placemats for our son. Those little touches matter. I really wanted to love Dal Rae. I was excited to finally visit a restaurant I'd heard about for years and even more excited to celebrate my anniversary there with my wife and son. Unfortunately, the evening left me disappointed. The ambiance, live music and old-school character are wonderful. Steven's tableside salad preparation was memorable, and there are clearly people here who care about what they do. But the food was **way too salty**, the service felt uneven, our anniversary was never acknowledged, and some of the old-school standards seemed to have slipped. I sincerely wish Dal Rae well and hope it continues for many more years. They certainly don't seem to need my help staying busy--the restaurant was bustling with patrons. For me, though, this wasn't the memorable anniversary meal I had hoped for. And if I ever return, I'll be asking the kitchen to go very, very light on the salt.

Filet mignon

Awesome steakhouse! Party of four on the patio which I prefer. We tried the Dine LA menu this time. It was a 3 course meal. We were served complimentary bread which had sourdough slices, spicy flat crackers and sesame sticks. Have to say I was genuinely pleased for the generous bread basket. AND our server surprised us with additional slices of hot garlicky cheese bread TOO! So yummy. Appetizers: calamari - crispy with two sauces ( Hubby got this.) Wedge salad ( Two of us got this.) Chopped salad ( I got this.) Entrees: Two of us got the ribeye Steak w choice of rice pilaf, mashed or baked potatoes, ( veg included tonight was broccoli.) Another got the filet mignon.( He enjoyed it) I got the Sea Bass. It was the BEST sea bass I've had .. ever! It was Parmesan crusted and perfectly cooked. I'm getting this every time I come here! (As long as they have it on the menu... ) Desert: We ended the meal with two chocolate cakes and two cheesecakes . Both were good as our server had indicated. It was additionally nice that the Host and manager came by to see how we were enjoying the meal. Basically, we had a great time here and are already planning our next visit. FYI valet $6

Tableside Caesar

Came here for the first time for my 51st birthday and fell in love! These historical steakhouses is what it's all about. Musso and Frank, Dear John and Dal Rae. There use to be a Ford factory nearby and this is where all the Detroit bigwigs came to dine. Jimmy Hoffa's favorite restaurant in LA. The food and service was amazing. Perhaps the best prime rib in LA. Bigger and better than Lawry's. And the table side Caesar salad presentation is the best in the world. Escargot was spectacular. I think the overall value here is actually better than M&F. Come out to celebrate a special occasion. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Great Staff! Clean and organized restaurant. The food was excellent as expected. We were hoping to see Mark there, who is an awesome part of this establishment. But we'll see him on the next one. Thank you to all the staff and chefs who made our experience amazing.

Pepper Steak Heaven!
Natalie F.

I previously reviewed this spot 17 years ago(!) and my impression remains unchanged. Classic old school steakhouse dining at its finest. Like the previous visit, I went during DineLA and brought a first time guest. She was excited to try it since I've been talking it up and enjoyed it as much as I did. DineLA is a standout bargain. The bread basket with the sourdough bread and chili crisp crackers was a great start. The calamari with the lemon butter and marinara was done right and the choice of two sauces a bonus. The cheese bread arrived just before our food, a delicious precursor. Pepper steak topped with the onion bacon and pepper topping was perfection, mashed potatoes and broccoli the perfect pairing with broccoli cooked just right, still retaining some crispness. My friend had the rib eye and crispy onions and was equally enamored. The lemon tart was the finale. I took some of the filet home and even leftover, it didn't lose anything. Although we didn't order anything made tableside we saw Steve prepare a Baked Alaska at a nearby table. He passed our table later to check on us and we enjoyed a nice conversation with him. That's a nice touch when the manager stops by and chats for a bit. Service was well paced and our server was friendly and engaging. Valet parking at $6 is reasonable but you can park free on the next block by the church. It was a wonderful return visit for me and first time visit for my friend. We made a pact to come back again and again.

Lydia was our wonderful server. She was attentive, nice and on the spot with her customer service. The food was excellent and exceptionally well cooked. I have never ever ever had so many bread in my life ! The calamari was so good. I mean the batter was light and not greasy and easy to eat. The seabass and prime rib were out of this world ! Hats off to her and the staff that assisted her.

Sea 8oz Chilean Seabass Ala Ben
P. C.

Meals like this reminds me why I need to come here more often. One of the most exceptional meals and stellar service my family and I have had in a while. Lydia our waitress and her team were phenomenal and their attention and hospitality definitely elevated our dining experience. I lost count as to how many times they cleaned our table and changed our plates. Manager also went around the room checking on each table, he even lead the saxophonist/ musician of the night to each birthday table serenading the special guest to a song. Now about the food! Signatures here are the peppered steak (flown in from Chicago), prime rib (better than Lawry's!) and the sea bass ala Ben (decadently delicious). Yes we got one of each and then some. My personal favorite was the prime rib eye cap (8oz at mkt price, currently $125) and it was cooked to perfection (medium)...completely devoured. Another must that's not on the menu are their soufflés (Grand Marnier and chocolate) which we had each...and completely inhaled. My family and I have had our fair share of fine dining meals including such places like The French Laundry and I must say that the level of service tonight was reminiscent of that caliber without the stuffiness. We are already planning to return at least two more times for separate occasions.

Another day, another first time visit to an iconic spot, thanks to DineLA. Dal Rae is a classic retro steakhouse, opened in 1951, moved to its current location in 1958. Of course I've long known about it, but it's a bit of a shlep from my home; we mostly do local-ish places for DineLA. But when we saw their famous Pepper Steak was on the DineLA menu (perhaps for the first time?), we made the shlep. Dal Rae is on Washington Blvd, a Jack in the Box away from the corner of Rosemead Blvd. Their parking lot is valet only. We found street parking less than a block away, but neither Rosemead or Washington have street parking--too busy! The restaurant has 2 enclosed patios that let in a little light, a bar area that serves the full menu and has a piano, and the dining room, all with mid-century design/lighting. As AARP members, we prefer an early-bird dinner; Dal Rae starts theirs at 3:30 weekdays. 4:00 weekends. The lighting was brighter than expected; I was prepared to use a flashlight. They dimmed the lights later on. The hostess was very friendly; we had to wait a sec to be seated because a regular "demanded" a hug from her while leaving. It became clear during our visit there are a lot of regulars as well as long-time staffers. The dining room is a mix of tables and classic booths. The DineLA dinner menu has 3 courses with 3-4 options for each. Here's what we got: 1) Bread basket with warm and soft sourdough (?), spicy flat bread and packaged bread sticks. 2) First course--Hearts of romaine Caesar salad and Fried calamari. The salad was an untossed Caesar; the Caesar on the regular menu for two is prepared tableside. Also note the Hearts of romaine salad on the regular menu is not a Caesar; it has avocado, candied walnuts and blue cheese. The calamari were nice, lightly battered served with lemon butter (delish) and spicy marinara (fine but not spicy). 3) Entree--we both got the famous Dal Rae Pepper Filet Mignon. Other choices were Chilean sea bass, a boneless ribeye and spaghetti with lobster. The Pepper Steak preparation is also available on the regular menu as a Prime New York (perhaps the most popular) and, on the lunch menu, a "Poor Man's Pepper Steak" ground sirloin. The steak was well-prepared and very tender. The Pepper preparation consists of peppercorns, bacon and green onions in a sauce. It was very tasty and peppery, perhaps not as transcendent as touted. The fresh veggie of the day was broccoli, and we both chose steak fries as our carb, over mashed potatoes, rice pilaf or sliced tomatoes. We were too early for baked potatoes. 4) Ordered off the regular menu, my steakhouse go-to's--creamed spinach and creamed corn. Both were fab, classic and a great value at $10 each. The corn was au gratin and probably not fresh, but still fine. 5) Dessert--Decadent Chocolate Cake and New York Cheesecake with fresh berries. No complaints! I believe they do tableside Bananas Foster and maybe Cherries Jubilee, but I did not see them on the dessert menu. Our server was Julie and she was great. Overall a great introduction to another classic LA spot. The regular menu had many other classic dishes I'd like to try, and prices were very decent compared to other restaurants. Worth the shlep!

10oz Prime Rib
Emily L.

My cousin talks very highly of this restaurant but it didn't really meet my expectations. We had a 5:30 reservation in the covered patio area but since we had an additional person, they moved us into a table in the bar. They started us off with warm bread and butter. Then right before the food actually comes, they give you another basket of bread but this time it's cheesey garlic bread. Every entree comes with veggies (not sure if it's seasonal/rotating but we all got broccoli) and a choice of side. I ordered the 10oz prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes. We also ordered the seabass. Baked potato is served tableside. My prime rib was a little too overcooked. The seabass was pretty good. It was a thick and tender piece. Now why I'm giving it 2 stars.. our server. I caught her rolling her eyes a couple times as she's walking away from our table. I didn't think we were being complicated but apparently she did. It was not giving "steakhouse service" (but what do you expect, it's Pico Rivera). The food was also mediocre at best. Everything was under seasoned. Quite frankly, it reminded us of "cruise food." The ambience is dark and loud. Not sure if the rest of the restaurant was just as dark since they seated us in the bar. The tables are very close together and there's not much walking space. They have several private rooms for parties. The waiting area was pretty packed after we got seated. The crowd is definitely on the older side. Unless you grew up eating here, not worth a try

Another great dinner Live their bread basket which includes sourdough bread, homemade crispy crackers and packaged bread sticks Salad and as refreshing Portions are great Lamb chops were hearty

Valet Parking

A well kept secret of locals and an old school vibe that's truly old school no imitations here! From the well stocked bar to the superb menu of meats and seafoods everything is top cabin. Service is what you want: attentive, helpful, friendly and accommodating from valet to bartender.

Prime Rib
Cindy O.

What a wonderful dinner! We brought friends with us that had never dined at Dal Rae! What a treat to see their reactions with the experiences! The food and service waa exceptional, as it always is. What's impressive is how busy this place is afyer some many years in business! Grrat formula of quality food and service that so many appreciate! Special place that our family loves! Cocktails were great (and strong!) We ordered Dirty Martinis abd very tasty Pear Martinis (for those not driving). We all enjoyed our tableside prepared Caesar Salad. Delicious and fun to watch the preparation. Bread and great flatbread crackers are always a hit along with the garlic cheese bread! I ordered the prime rib, excellent. The rest of our party ordered pepper steaks (their specialty), filets and NY! I can't believe one of our guests actually finished the 18oz NY Steak, but so good he wanted to! We all enjoyed our tableside prepped fully loaded baked potatoes! Nothing better than lots if butter! We ordered several desserts to share including the tabkeside prepared Banana (and peaches) Foster. Steve prepared and served. What a treat! We have had Steve several times before preparing our tableside salads! He is awesome and explains the process! What a fun show! It was so delicious! Our main server was Raquel. So helpful and friendly. She did a great job. Of checking in with us and didn't rush us into ordering. Made for a very relaxing and enjoyable dinner out with friends! Dal Rae won our hearts and stomachs years ago! We will be back again and again!

Pomegranate margarita & Paloma
Han P.

We came here to celebrate my 30th birthday on March 14th and had a 7:45pm reservation. despite how busy it was, everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. Just a heads up, they only offer valet parking for $6, but it's quick and convenient and made arrival easy. One thing that really stood out was the ambiance. it felt different from most restaurants in the best way. It had an elevated, lively energy while still feeling comfortable and welcoming, striking that perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. We started with a pomegranate margarita, a Paloma, and some delicious cheese bread that set the tone for the night. For dinner, we ordered the surf and turf with a perfectly cooked medium rare filet mignon and Chilean sea bass that truly melts in your mouth. We also had the New York pepper steak cooked medium with fries, along with sides of cream of spinach and mac and cheese. the mac and cheese was incredibly creamy and cheesy, pure comfort food. Even with the crowd, service was never neglected. Our waiter, Blake, was attentive throughout the night, and the manager stopped by our table to check in, which was a really nice touch. This place never disappoint(: the consistency and quality of the food is what makes it truly fantastic. Always a great experience.

Questioning the cost for Alask crab claw $90. Even at market price,  shouldn't be this much. I was going through my receipts.

See all

Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the classic steakhouse atmosphere, attentive and professional service, and the Chilean sea bass. Drinks and desserts are also praised.

But I've learned that if I order my steaks rare or even blue rare at a place not known for their steaks, it comes out to the desired medium rare I wanted all along. Such was the case tonight. I asked for rare but it came out closer to medium rare--maybe even dipping into medium. No big whoop. The baseball steak was still juicy and delicious. The fries were still great shoestring. And I can live with a chimichurri sauce instead of the preferable hollandaise or bearnaise these usually come with. I just wish I could actually ask for a medium rare and get medium at a food joint other than where it costs me $60 or $70 a cut. The service was good. She was pleasant and quick on her feet. The ambience was good. It was a quaint space and had a lot of charm. I can't say it was too full but I attribute that more to the day being full of sporting events like the World Cup and some silly NBA thing than an actually critique of the restaurant. Subsequently, I found this a good place for dinner but not superb and I found myself wondering when the next like fate might bring me here.

Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!

Then the food came out and was brought to our table and the waitress talked for a little bit! At this family owned fast food/ drive through/ pick up place... and there was table service ?!!! Wow!!! I gotta say that the food was pretty decent. I got the steak and eggs bfast with hash browns. I was happy about that! But the 4th star that this place got was because of the wonderful waitress that was so kind and helpful! She was also quite attentive and stopped by a few times to see how we were doing! For services at a fast food place, that also has a drive through window, that was amazing!! Thank you young waitress!!! The food was good, but the service that we got.... if I am anywhere near this place againI'll stop by!! Thank you!

I give this place 5 stars with the assumption that people realize it's a 5 star mom and pop burger…read morespot. The food is all Sysco/Restaurant Depot frozen stuff, but, despite that, my family and I really enjoy it. The chili cheese fries and onion rings are a hit in our house and the burgers and chicken strips satisfy the kids. Service at the drive through is usually pretty good. I cut them a slack when they sound annoyed/low energy because I know the work is tough. I've only ever been through the drive through, so I've never sat inside. When you're hungry and don't feel like making dinner, this place hits the spot.

Look is it your Morton's vibe of 5 star no, but does it fulfill all of what you need in service,…read morevalue and quality, yes it does! First time customer , had res for 5:15 on a Thursday but wanted to watch NFL so sat at the bar. Not a bit of service was missed IMO with this choice which is often common at other establishments. Drinks were on point and bartender was willing to work with what you liked. Calamari to start was fresh with a yummy cocktail sauce, made me want to try the shrimp cocktail next time. I got the 80th anniversary pre fix with the 16oz boneless ribeye and my husband got the sea bass off the standard menu. Both come with their house salad with a serving set of 3 different house made dressings (blue cheese was an amazing Caesar vibe worth trying, and of course ranch was great, French for the 3rd which isn't my vibe but was pretty good), perfect cheese bread with huge serving, amazing marinated cabbage that I can wait to use on leftovers , hand battered onion rings and the most loaded huge baked potato ever. Zero negative things to say! I will note the steak is thick (preferred) so a 16oz medium rare hits on that rare side in some areas which I don't mind but if you do you may want to ask for a MR+ to be safe. I didn't mind. I can't eat sea bass but my husband devoured it and said it was cooked perfect. My dinner came with a dessert and a commemorative glass for my $80 and it was a great deal and the sea bass was under $60 and came with all the same things except the dessert and glass, so I feel like prices are reasonable based on the service and quality of the dinner 100%!!!! Overall I won't lie but this place is a lot about the vibe and luckily in our case also the great service. We will be back and we will seek out Edgar at the bar every time because he provided exceptional hospitality and made us feel welcome and excited to return.

Went here for my birthday and unfortunately left pretty disappointed…read more I ordered the prime rib, which is only served on the weekends, and asked for it medium. The first one they brought out was an edge cut and way more well-done than I prefer. They were nice enough to bring me another one, which was closer to medium, but honestly, I was still disappointed with the flavor. It just wasn't very good. My wife ordered the New York steak and felt pretty much the same. It was okay, but there really wasn't much flavor to it. For me, the only thing that was actually decent was the salad. Maybe we just caught them on a bad night, because the atmosphere was great and the servers were really nice. No complaints there. I will say, I cook steaks at home all the time, and this honestly didn't come close to what I'm used to making. At this point, maybe I've spoiled myself by cooking steaks at home so much that restaurant steaks just don't impress me anymore. Either way, it was a bummer, especially since it was my birthday. I really wanted to love this place, but based on the food we had that night, I probably wouldn't go back for the steaks. Total for the night.. was about 200 with tip. 2 Steaks and 2 kids meals and appetizer.
