  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • 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.

    Third time going in theee months. Both times prior were exceptional. Service was poor and same cut of prime ribs were supposed to be the same. The price was but the steaks were not even close. Wife had a 50 dollar piece of sea bass that couldn’t have been more than six oz. Maybe don’t go on weekends?

    Never fails to impress, especially guests from overseas. Ozzie at the bar is a true professional and a great conversationalist. Don’t get back as often as I used to but it was right on target.

    I have dined at this restaurant several times and was impressed each time...until the most recent visit. My waiter did not introduce himself or tell us the specials. I only knew there were specials because I overheard a different waiter. The food came out backward. We were served our entrees first, then the soup/salad. On top of the that the appetizer, filet mignon spring rolls, had no flavor. My colleague's prime rib also had no flavor. The waiter was apologetic about the way in which the food was received, but we were already less than impressed. I don't feel a need to return right away, and I'm disappointed that I feel that way because it was always great on previous occasions.
