Sundance The Steakhouse, Palo Alto

###Five Things to Know About Sundance the Steakhouse Sundance the Steakhouse embodies exactly what one imagines of a steakhouse dining room. Candlelit meals. Mahogany accents. Private, high-backed booths. Read on to find out how this timeless aesthetic has helped the steakhouse endure for more than 40 years: * **The steaks are butchered in-house and aged for 28 days.** In beef years, that makes the steaks old enough to get a driver’s license. * **Prime rib is the main attraction.** This house specialty is slow-roasted for more than eight hours before being carved to order and served with horseradish and hot au jus. * **Entrees pair with a selection of more than 450 wines from around the world.** * **It doesn’t chase trends.** Steak and seafood are stalwarts of fine dining, of course. But at Sundance, even the desserts are a constant. The signature mud pie has remained the same since opening in 1974. * **It’s no stranger to famous actors and athletes.** Sundance has hosted everybody from top college basketball teams to actor Rob Lowe.
