    We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and I requested a booth. We were greeted with open arms and Sundance was fabulous. Btw - This was his only request for his 80+ birthday. We have traveled in other countries and US and this was a best meal and overall experience. Prime Rib for him and lobster for me topped off with amazing birthday dessert, too. Our waiter went above board to serve us. I cannot say enough about Sundance, our favorite restaurant in the world.

    Flemings will always be a special place for me and my boyfriend. They went above and beyond to make our anniversary special by decorating our table with rose pedals and signage. It was very romantic and unforgettable. They were timely and thoughtful when approaching our table. The food was delicious. The service was excellent.
