    We made reservations weeks in advance, were seated 20 minutes late, and then waited an hour and a half for the entree. They supposedly had a large wedding party, and the manager and server apologized and provided a free drink and dessert. Regardless, we expected more for the price. One entree was excellent and the other ok.

    Thank you for your feedback, and I sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience during your visit. While I’m glad to hear our team acknowledged the issue and tried to make it right, we clearly missed the mark on delivering the experience you expected—and deserved. We take your comments seriously and will use them to improve our service during high-volume nights. I hope we have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future. Sincerely, Matt Hobbs Executive Chef

    We had an unforgettable dining experience at elements at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain. From the moment we arrived, the setting was stunning—perched on the side of Camelback Mountain with sweeping desert views that made for a perfect sunset backdrop. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. We started with the hamachi crudo, which was light, fresh, and expertly balanced. For the main course, the miso-glazed salmon and the Wagyu beef were both standouts—cooked to perfection and layered with flavor. Even the sides, like the truffle mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, were memorable. The service was just as impressive—professional, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. Our server made thoughtful recommendations and timed everything perfectly so we could enjoy a relaxed, romantic evening. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a special night out, elements delivers an elevated dining experience in every sense. Highly recommend!

    The menu has limited options and is very expensive. The website menu is not up to date. The food was good but, as I said not many choices and we told them it was our anniversary and the waiter made no mention of it and they did nothing special. I had been years ago and thought it was beautiful view and of course, still is….. just not worth what you have to spend. Also, reservations make you think it was busy and it was not.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. While we're glad to hear you enjoyed the view and found the food to be good, we're truly sorry to learn that your recent visit did not meet your expectations—especially for such a special occasion. We sincerely apologize that your anniversary was not acknowledged. Celebrating milestones with our guests is something we take pride in, and we regret that this was overlooked. We're actively working to ensure our online information is accurate and up to date, and your comments will help guide those improvements. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the level of hospitality you were expecting—and deserve. Cheers Brady Pankow Director of Rooms
