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.

    Our servicer was just so so. Definitely nothing special. The food was served hot and had nice presentation. The sauce for the prawns was tasteless and soup like,the sauce ordered for the prime rib never came, swordfish was small portion but well cooked and the sea bass special was just okay. We were not overly impressed.

    The prime rib is definitely worth a visit. However, the real hidden gem is the ribeye. The special seafood pasta is beautifully done.

    As always the customer service is exceptional from ALL of the employees that we interact with and that adds to the experience and why we keep coming back to Sundance. The other reason is of course the food, (I.e. the prime rib, caprese, wine selection, esp. the 1/2 bottles {though we are sad to see that there aren’t any 1/2 bottle Zinfandel options any more}, crème brûlée, and dessert wine). We will keep coming back to Sundance, but only for special occasions due to price inflation.
