- SSusanVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •144 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe were 5 women and we all had salads. The kitchen catered to our individual requests for modification such as dressing on the side or no onions or bell peppers The salads were very fresh and the grilled chicken was hot and moist - not always the case in other establishments. We did wait about 30 minutes for the salads to arrive. Sundance serves warm, fresh sour dough bread wit both butter and olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We had a birthday in our group and the waiter brought a complimentary slice of mud pie with a candle in it. We split it among us and it was delicious.More infoSundance The SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Palo Alto•4.8
