Dining room at Dal Rae, Pico Rivera, CADal Rae, which opened in 1958, is a throwback to another era---all of the classic Escoffier-inspired dishes you came to love as a child when you were taken to a fancy restaurant are still alive and well here. The kitchen does a respectable job with traditional fare and the seemingly endless menu includes a veritable hit parade of Continental favorites. Oysters Rockefeller, tournedos Rossini, Châteaubriand bouquetière---the names fall as trippingly on the tongue as the flavors do on the palate---are all present and accounted for. While the décor has been updated considerably, Dal Rae still retains the flavor of the 50s, and the restaurant is a refreshing departure from the trend-conscious Westside haunts.

Dal Rae

Dal Rae's produce is second-to-none. The meats are perfect. For me, the acid test is veal and Dal Rae's veal piccata passed with flying colors. Chilean sea bass can be off if it is not completely fresh, but Dal Rae's is sweet and buttery. The salads are made tableside. The souffle comes to the table as it should, puffed and hot, reflecting the coordination between kitchen and server that souffle requires. The wine list, while not overwhelming, offers splendid complements to the food. (We had champ...oops, California sparkling.)
The ratio of quality to price at Dal Rae makes it one of the best dining values in America. To those who celebrate food, Dal Rae is unsurpassed.
