    The food was ok, my husband had steak & eggs but for $38 they could use a better cut of meat. I wanted avocado toast added & they charged $21 for 1 piece of toast. The booth we sat at had a nice view however there were flies (multiple) on the inside window & it made it a little unappetizing. I’m good not to go back.

    Beautiful setting and architecture. Signs to the restaurant could be better, it was confusing because the valets were not outside. The food was very good, service was a little slow because it was busy for Father's Day. We were asked twice on the reservation if there were any special occasion, and said yes - Father's Day and a 75th birthday. Sadly, that never came up at the restaurant.

    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.
    elements at Sanctuary Camelback MountainResponded 7 days ago
    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!
