Let me be honest by saying that the owners are good friends, but I recently had a business dinner at Sundance and was reminded that this truly is the best steakhouse in Silicon Valley.
During my recent dinner, I arrived with my colleagues at the bar enjoying martinis. They were already having a great time and the staff was carefully taking care of them (note no one new I was friends with the owner). But Sundance is a great place to meet friends even for a quick drink.
For dinner, I started with a simple salad. It was good, but it is a salad. However, as always, the prime rib I ordered for dinner was excellent. Perfectly cooked to order. I was once again a happy camper.
The wine selection is also excellent and the staff very. Once again, I happen to know the owners spend a great deal of time perfecting it. But even Wine Spectator agrees with me.
Its no surprise to me that Sundance continues to win awards for its food and service even after 30 years of operation. Its not cheap but its worth every cent.

My Japanese friend and I had lunch here the other day. He was raving about how good and authentic the food is. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I am going to recommend them for a catering job @ my office.
Pros: Authentic

I went with a friend of mine for a casual dinner. The best samosas I have ever had. I focus on the little things like chutneys and raitas and Chef Sachin Chopra delivered what I have been looking for over 9 years in US now - both were the best by far.
Sure the items on the menu were a bit expensive (Entre: 18-50 I guess), but food quantities were quite generous. We knew we ordered a bit extra, but the left overs laster me for 2 full meals. Our total bill was $87 (plus tip) - not bad huh!!
I haven't tried their non-veg menu yet, but can't wait to go again.... at the very least once....
If you like authentic Indian food, made and served gourmet style and don't mind paying that little extra price, then you have to give this a try. Hope you like it just as much too.

More
This is the best New Orleans style food I've had outside the South. It's fresh and authentic and has a real blend of flavors: they don't cook stuff until it's all mushed into one flavor; rather, you can taste multiple different subtle (and, depending on the dish, not-so-subtle) flavors in each bite.
It's usually crowded and noisy. The servers are sometimes overworked: they're always on the go and I never see them lazing around, but it's still sometimes hard to get drink refills and so on.
I should make it clear that I'm a certified old fuddy-duddy and like to converse over dinner. For some young single folks the noise might be part of the excitement.
If you're looking for New Orleans-style food, this is the place to go.
Pros: The chef(s) really know how to cook New Orleans style food right.
Cons: The noise, the crowding

The lamb chops at this place are so fantastic that it is a reason to go by itself. However, I go for the great ambiance. It is open till 11pm, which is definitely not the norm in Palo Alto. The service is satisfactory, though often overly obsequious.

Good time, good service, good food, bullride. Especially if you're a regular, it is a warm, happy place despite the large size.
Pros: Good menu, a lot of regulars, good service, patio
Cons: Too crowded during big sporting events
