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.

    Sundance is the best old school steakhouse. Love the moody ambience. Food is always consistent and delicious. I made a note in our reservation that it was for our anniversary dinner and they paid attention. We were served a special dessert on the house. Who does that anymore!

    I’ve been coming here for maybe 2 years now? The servers are always so informative and on point. The service is top tier! The food? DELICIOUS! There is a reason we come back, it’s delicious. Plain and simple. I brought my mom for dinner last night and she left the steakhouse saying “WOW”. Every bite she took she was in disbelief. It was her first time here and she LOVED it just as much as I do. She has not stopped talking about it since we left. We will be coming back for more. I did want to give a huge shout out to our server TOM! Tom was very attentive, provided recommendations and was overall just amazing. We didn’t feel left out as Tom made sure to check in on us regularly. When I first came here that was one thing I loved about this place, their service. I completely forgot to pull out cash for tips but I made sure to give a shout out to our server Tom. I’ve done a Yelp review on Sundance already but I’ll keep my promise to transfer it to Yelp again as well. If you’re looking for a place to throw a dinner party or celebrate a special occasion, add this to the list!

    Sundance is, BY FAR, the very best steakhouse on the San Francisco Peninsula, and maybe even the SF Bay Area! Every time I go, the food is OUTSTANDING, service exceptional and prices reasonable.

    The waiter didn’t greet us and then took about 20 minutes to come to our table and take our order. The restaurant wasn’t that busy at 1 PM. The food and ambience was excellent as it always is.

    Another great birthday dinner -- this time for my nephew -- in a chain of wonderful meals at Sundance stretching back decades. The amazing thing is that the ambiance remains white-table-cloth-low-light-gleaming-wood-wine-bottle-sports-bar-meets-steakhouse perfection while the clientele remains young and hip and old and cool.
