Sundance The Steakhouse ( Dining / Steak ). Located at 1921 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, 1 mile from the center of Stanford. A classic is something that has never quite finished saying what it has to say. In our 40 year history, Sundance The Steakhouse has always let our premium cuts of prime beef, sophisticated atmosphere, and world-class wine list do the talking. Sundance The Steakhouse is a classic, where you’re just as likely to rub elbows with Silicon Valley pioneers as you are old friends. The dining experience you’ll get at Sundance is truly a rare thing—unless, of course, you would like it cooked otherwise. www.sundancethesteakhouse.com Link
