About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
Since its opening in 1974, prime steaks and martinis have never gone out of style at this Palo Alto institution. The atmosphere is very clubby with fireplaces, dark wood, sports memorabilia and plush leather booths tucked into the many nooks throughout the dining room. Famous for their slow-roasted prime rib & hand-cut U.S.D.A Prime Steaks, they also offer fresh seafood, cold water lobster tail & succulent shellfish. The 20 oz. Bone-In Rib eye Steak is the Boss’ Favorite while the Double Cut Filet Mignon runs a close second. Sundance is respected for serving the best food money can buy coupled with value & simplicity – a welcome relief for serious food & steak aficionados. The menu is supported by an award-winning wine list that features over 400 selections focusing on highly allocated Napa Valley Cabernets. Exceptional ratings & numerous restaurant awards rank Sundance the Steakhouse as a true dining destination.

    Excellent food with a great atmosphere. I was having a business dinner and the server kept their distance at the appropriate times and stepped in when needed. The prime rib and filet were Flavorful. Always a great go to for business dinners.

    Sundance is one of our favorite restaurants in Palo Alto, It has a wonderful ambiance, delicious food, extensive wine list, and fabulous service. We just celebrated a Stanford graduation and Father’s Day there, and it was just lovely!

    The Sundance never disappoints. Our anniversary dinner was fabulous as well as the dinner and the company. Met some new friends in the bar that we hope to have lunch with back at the Sundance🙂

    Our server was attentive and had shared wonderful stories about the restuarant “museum” ! Only problem was that we did get his name for future requests!
