    I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday because of a previous pleasant experience. This time however, was a U-turn. For reasons unknown to me, our server was rushing the ordering process. From the moment when we declined any alcohol for dinner, the entire process felt like being in a diner (not that there’s anything wrong with a diner, it’s just a different experience) When we explained there are some dietary restrictions, the waiter did participate in explaining some alternatives, and the answer always lead to “I have to check with the kitchen”, but he never does. Instead, the waiter will return again, without any new information or solution, inquired a repeatedly if we’re ready to order. When if he check with the kitchen, the answer was always: “don’t think this should be a problem”. Towards the end of the main course, without consulting if we finish with the dish (clearly food was still left over), he asked if we’re ready for dessert. Finally, without any recommendation, the waiter stated that something will be coming from the kitchen as complementary for the birthday. when he returned with the frozen sorbet, he walked away before we can order the dessert we wanted. Let me be clear, This is not a reflection of all the staff in the restaurant, just a small possibility of you going through a drive-through like ours. 😎

    We've been loyal customers of this restaurant for over 20 years, and it’s long been one of our favorites. Over the years, we've celebrated many memorable meals here and always appreciated the quality, service, and the little touches that made it special. However, in recent visits, we’ve noticed some changes that have been disappointing. The portion sizes have become noticeably smaller, and during our last visit, there were no specials offered—something we used to really look forward to. Overall, it feels like the restaurant has lost some of the charm and “wow factor” that once set it apart.
    elements at Sanctuary Camelback MountainResponded on May 20, 2025
    Hello Traci, Thank you for being such loyal customers over the past 20 years. We are sorry to hear that your recent visits have been disappointing. We understand how important portion sizes and specials are to your dining experience, and we apologize for any changes that have affected your enjoyment. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly take it into consideration to improve our offerings. We wanted to let you know that we do offer specials during the weekends, and we hope you will give us another chance to impress you with our quality and service. We are committed to restoring the charm and “wow factor” that you have always loved about our restaurant. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back soon. Cheers Brady Pankow Director of Outlets

    We came to the bar an hour early for a drink. No views w the privacy screen up. Very disappointed. Went into the restaurant and same thing. No views with the privacy screen on windows. There was a couple tables on the other side that still had the view but was in full sun. Was informed the pull down shad didn’t work. The whole point of coming there for dinner & drinks was mainly the view. We saw nothing. Ver very disappointed
    elements at Sanctuary Camelback MountainResponded on May 20, 2025
    Hello Karen We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your recent visit. We understand that the primary reason for choosing our establishment was to enjoy the beautiful views, and we deeply regret that the temporary privacy screens due to ongoing construction obstructed this. We are truly sorry that the pull-down shades were not functioning properly, and that the tables with views were in full sun, making it uncomfortable. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are taking immediate steps to address these issues to ensure they do not happen again. We hope you will give us another chance to provide you with the exceptional experience you deserve. Cheers Brady Pankow Director of Outlets
