Got my parent's a reservation to Sundance for my dad's birthday, prime rib is his favorite meal and sundance NEVER disappoints. They had an incredible time, said the steak was cooked perfectly and said the ambiance was wonderful. As chicago transplants we take our beef very seriously and are so grateful for this staple in celebrating our family's important occasions. Thanks again for a great experience.

We flew into San Francisco during the atmospheric river for a 70th birthday celebration. The weather was disappointing but our waiter was over the top great. He was friendly, informative and made the night special. The whole staff made us feel welcome and the food was outstanding. We even received a special birthday treat! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent service as always, including the food. The added touch with the security guard in the parking lot was perfect in light of the fact that there has been many vehicle break-ins over the years……thank you, Kincaid.……
