"elements at The Sanctuary is a treasure. We were seated in The Praying Monk room for lunch with sweeping vistas of the Camelback Mountains, the Praying Monk and the gorgeous infinity pool as a backdrop. Lunch was delicious from the appetizer course through the entree. The wild mushroom soup was the best I have ever had! Our server, Gina, is a top notch professional with a sparkling personality. Executive Chef Beau MacMillan stopped by our table to say hello despite his hectic schedule. Overall a 5 star rating for superior atmosphere, food and staff. Kudos also to Taylor and Magda who assisted Gina during our lunch, and a big thank you to Trent, The Jade Bar's bartender. Bon appétit!"

"Elements is one of the top restaurants in the Valley. The only draw back is the noise from nearby tables durning dinner especially large parties drinking wine. It is not a quiet restaurant."

"I went there for Easter brunh and was disappointed. I have been there before and it was outstanding. however, maybe becuase it was a holiday and vert busy they couldnt give the food the attenntion it needed. Ordered swordfish and it was soggy. I think they pre-cooked an it was sitting for a while and steaming. other than that very pretty room, salad and desert buffet goo."

"I changed reservations last minute Easter Sunday from 3 adults & a baby to 5 adults & 3 babies. I also requested view table out of the main flow of traffic. They easily agreed to accommodate changes when I called. We arrived to a spectacular table on an elevated patio overlooking city and a beautiful pool below. We had plenty of room to tuck the kids in their strollers out of the way and highchairs for as many as we wanted. The highchair didn't work because our only toddler was pretty much sleeping in stroller after a few oysters and shrimp. We enjoyed the Raw seafood platter for four. Couldn't finish all, but it was plentiful and fantastic. Were further partook of the butterfish and scallops, again both excellent. Great experience."

"We have been there twice. Both special occasions and both times were perfect! They take special care of their customers and I actually finished everything on my plate both times (and I never do that anywhere). I had the bacon wraped filet which I don't like very pink inside and that is hard for most places. It usually comes out dry. Elements cooks it to perfection every time. We learned they have a kids menu so we will be taking our kids next time."
