All good. Good food. Very pleasant staff. One minor issue was … the volume of the TV playing the Giants game was overkill. (Perhaps there was a guest who was hard of hearing?). We were seated in a booth in the front part, and could not easily have a conversation.

Delicious food. Excellent service, but the music was awful and loud. We weren't able to talk with our friends. It's not a good place to talk and enjoy dinner at the same time

I am totally biased as I may have been to Sundance over 500 times over the last 20 years, but this is the most consistent restaurant at which I have ever dined. The staff is incredible, the food is very good and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The level of care they have for their customers is really unparalleled! I am a big fan and hope all will enjoy Sundance too.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The decor was beautiful and made a great date night for my girlfriend and me. The mushroom tempura, skewers, and ahi tuna were the stars of the show for me!

Excellent experience, food & drinks! My seared scallops were done perfectly! They even brought my friend and I ( who have shared and celebrated our birthday for 68 years!) a lovely slice of key lime pie—we had an excellent server!
