    I was not happy with our party being seated in the corner when we were the first guests for lunch. We should have requested a better table. The brunch was not outstanding.

    A wonderful experience! Valet was very polite as well as the hostess. Great seating over looking the beautiful mountains. Service was prompt and the food was delicious!! The Elemental Breakfast was a great start to the day, the potatoes and sausage were the highlight for me. Overall a great experience and can’t wait to go back.

    The food is was over rated- portions very small for $,the food was overdone w/ gimmick trimmings to add the image of complexity of the dishes. It was just flat disappointing. The place itself came off as So Cal upscale. Nice surroundings but not a place worth $300+ for 2 w/ tip!

    Over the last 5 years, we have dined at Elements numerous times for special occasions or just because we wanted to. We even spent a weekend there because we find the resort/setting so beautiful, even though we live in North Scottsdale. Last night, in particular, was noticeably different.... in the sense that the overall experience seems to have gone downhill. While everyone, from the valets to the waitstaff were very nice, the restaurant, Elements, felt it was showing its age and losing the classy, elegant vibe it used to carry. They first attempted to seat us in a large, conference type room that felt like we were going to have to listen to a seminar on Cremation. When we balked at the seating, since we usually sit in the dining area in a booth by the window, they obliged, however, the host made sure we knew how busy they were going to be. This was 5:30 pm. I think I remeber that the tables used to have tablecloths, which made it seem much nicer than a bare 'Diner' type restaurant. Also, and this speaks to the general public, whatever happened to a dress code?? People were extremely casually dressed, like they had just come from the pool. Maybe it's time to reinstate a dress code. The Pandemic is over, it's time to grow up and dress up. I do wish I could remember our servers name, as she did an excellent job. We'll probably go back to Lon's next time.
