About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Tom was our server. Amazing attention to our table while he had many others. I believe he’s been our server before. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday on 4/24. It was a busy Thursday with many other celebrations at the restaurant in his section. He took his time with each table and he showed such knowledge of the menu and the specials! The food was excellent and never disappoints. Thank you, Tom for a great experience!

    Prime rib is outstanding. Brought to table exactly how we ordered - rare and medium rare. Creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes excellent. Carrots and broccoli cooked and flavored to perfection. Wait staff very attentive and kind.

    Birthday occasion was ignored even though it was selected in the reservation options. No acknowledgement. Louder than Buffalo Wild Wings. No control of the customers. Food was great. Not a romantic spot. Steaks were tasty.

    Always delicious and the service is wonderful. A little pricey but certainly a nice treat. Wish I had enough appetite for dessert, hopefully next time.
