    I do not like giving reviews that i Know are not going to help business. With that said it was my 65 th bday celebration at Elements. Ambiance is very good, aside from that it was merely fair. My husband and I are seasoned diners and expect what we pay for. Service was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Food was the same. My husbands steak was cold and returned , they replaced it promptly and it was warm, flavor lacking, needed salt. My scallops were lukewarm, i did not send back. I ordered based on our servers suggestion. they were ok, like every other decent scallop dish. Again it was ok, nothing special but for $700 dinner i expect more ... of something. (Wine was $250) This was our 2nd and last visit... sorry.
    elements at Sanctuary Camelback MountainResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Elements to celebrate such a special occasion. I’m sorry to hear about the temperature issue with your husband’s dish. I personally ensured it was replaced promptly and rushed out to you, but I regret that your overall experience didn’t meet expectations. Regarding the scallops, I wanted to mention that the dish includes both hot, cold, and warm components, which may have contributed to the temperature perception. We’ll definitely keep this in mind for the future. We value your honest input and will use it to improve. Thank you again for sharing, and we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Sincerely, Matt Hobbs Executive Chef
