We had a group for lunch, and we got to the restaurant before our reservation time. They suggested we sit and order drinks by the fire pit on the patio and when tables were cleared out, they would seat us. It was very busy and loud in the restaurant, so it was nice to be out on the patio. The food and drinks were very good. Everyone enjoyed their meal and dessert. One minor detail is the milk in the latte could have been steamed more. It just looked like it was barely warmed. Overall the server did a great job juggling the patio crowd and our group.

We can happily recommend Sundance as one of our favorite restaurants. The staff is always very pleasant, the menu never disappoints us no matter what we order. The last time we were there we were celebrating our anniversary At the end of our meal we were surprised with the most delicious dessert. I’ve decided to have their chocolate pie it as my first course the next time we are at Sundance. If you like steak and dessert Sundance awaits your visit.

We had a great time. Joseph was our waiter and he was exceptional. Delfina was the helper and she was very friendly and welcoming. It was evident that Joseph loves what he does. Genuinely interested in the guests and conversations. Definitely one of best experiences dining out. Food was great as well, the French onion soup was one of the bests I have ever had. Oysters were delicious. Steak was the Cajun special we venture out and gave it a try and it did not disappoint. Great experience overall. Will be back at our next concert in San Jose.

Wonderful time at Pretoria 360. The weight staff was very attentive, the food was amazing and the manager was super helpful. Can’t wait to go back again, maybe I’ll bring my two dogs next time. (JK)

As always, the Austrian cuisine menu did not disappoint. For dinner, we started with a homemade pretzel & cheese sauce, then split the butter lettuce salad with toasted pumpkin seeds, a hot bowl of delicious garlic soup, and enjoyed entrees of Hungarian Goulash (tender beef chunks w/spatzle in very tasty sauce), & Jager Schnitzel (pork schnitzel braised in a mushroom creme sauce w/broccolini & garlic confit, served with spatzle). All this with an excellent local pinot noir made for a perfect bday celebration, although we took half of it home. Besides the food, the staff and waiters went out of their way to make us feel at-home and welcome!
