    A perfect date night. Saturday night reservations outside- 53 degrees, but toasty warm under the heat lamps. We shared spicy tuna sushi - fresh and flavorful. Entrees of spare ribs and the filet- both delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was top-notch - thank you Chris. Front door valets considerate and accommodating for photos. A stunning property- ask to sit outdoors or in front dining area. Chef’s kiss!!!

    I just had New Year's brunch at Elements and was totally disappointed. I have eaten at this restaurant for 15+ years and never had a bad experience until now. We were a party of 8 and arrived at 10:30am and didn't get drinks for about 20 minutes. It then took 75 minutes for our food to arrive after asking for a manager who never apologized and only said he would look into it. We never got offered refills on our coffee until I had to once again get up and find our server. Our server and the manager never apologized for any of this. I imagine they had some of their staff call out last minute since it was New Year's Day but we never had anyone let us know that the kitchen would be backed up, no one came by to pour more coffee or water, and there was never an apology for how long it was taking. It was incredibly frustrating to say the least. In fact, we were treated as if we were the annoying ones asking where our meals were.

    Stay away from the sea bass! Management needs to be retrained on customer service. We ordered the fish, returned it because it was not fresh, and no one from management even inquired about our disappointment. Beautiful view of the mountains, but service and food quality are lacking.

    Ambience and service were great. Our server (Chris?) was exceptional. Very friendly, helpful, and accommodating in picture taking. He was a definite plus to our enjoyable dinner experience.. I bring many of my out-of-town friends to dine at the Sanctuary. It's such a memorable AZ experience. Thank you, Kay

    We had a great night with very good service and pleasant/welcoming staff. The only thing that could be improved was my wife ordered Salmon an asked for it to be cooked medium and not the medium rare the restaurant serves. Unfortunately it was medium rare and although tasted good it wasn't prepared as ordered.
