We had our New Year’s Eve dinner at The Rex and overall I was happy with our choice. The first level dining room was full and energetic and it was very fancy for Redondo Beach. I liked our 20-oz. Bone-In Kansas City steak which was enough to share. The pommes purée was tasty but small. I wasn’t as excited about the glazed carrots. The bourbon tiramisu was a nice ending. Drinks were OK but I didn’t like the glassware that my martini and port were served in: It might have been plastic. The drink portion sizes were small for the price. I’d go back here for a special occasion to try some other dishes.

New Years Eve. We were told we had a strict limit of 2 hours. Understandable. But then the server took 30 minutes to get to our table for drinks. Then the server was always somewhere else because they were understaffed. Lobster tail was disgusting. Barely edible. $55. We managed to finish dinner in 2 hours. Ordered desert and desert wine. Then we were rushed out. Bill was almost $700 for 4. They need to mange their time better.

We love the Rex, and it's our go-to for Holidays, Anniversaries, Special Occasions., and the occasional burger/fries/martini at the bar. Food is outstanding, and so is the service, usually, but on this visit, the service was way way off. It took almost 15 minutes after we were seated for anyone to greet us and take a cocktail order. Then the cocktails took a loooong time. We had an 8 pm reservation, and we arrived a little early. We were seated right away, in a nice busy dining room, but after all the delays, we ended up being the only ones left, eating dinner in an empty restaurant after 9 pm. Not good, not why we want to go to The Rex. The food and drinks were very very good as always - really hoping this service lapse doesn't continue.

Service was great but food wasn’t as good. Had the steak and it was over cooked. Requested medium well but it was well done when served and the steak was extremely dry.

Service here is always subpar. Food is good but the service is always underwhelming. This would not be my first choice for dining.

Great food, cocktails, and ambience. You can tell the people who work there genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows in the service. Remarkable job by the owner / manager to hire well and create a upscale family environment
