Dal Rae - Pico Rivera

Last time we went to Dal Rae was before covid. Went with a nice group of friends and it was great! Food and service were still amazing, we all had great food and a lovely time. Will be going back soon.

Lunch with Flower Dawn is guaranteed to be a delight! Ahi on toast with avocado is my go to and is always perfectly prepared. I also have to give a shout out to Faustino...he really knows how to make customers feel special.

Sea bass is delicious and steaks are perfect! Caesar salad for two (dinner, not lunch) is prepared table side and a great show! Espresso martini is a favorite! Our server, Javier, was excellent! Can't wait to go back!

Without a doubt one of the finer restaurants in the Los Angeles area. Dal Rae has maintained high quality food exceptional service for the past 6 decades that I have personally observed. However some of the unique qualities have fallen by the wayside. They no longer do the wilted spinach salad at table side. The unique service was provided by the owner and the tradition was carried on by his sons. This along with the elimination of the relish tray made them stand out from the crowded restaurant scene. The initial reason for the elimination of the table side salad elimination was COVID that train left the station and having seen a multitude of corporations using that excuse for service cuts leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I do feel most loyal customers like myself would not mind a price increase to see this service revived. In any event not enough reason to stop patronizing my favorite restaurant in the LA basin.

Another great dinner at Dal Rae. They never disappoint.
