- TTimPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoExcellent food, fantastic service, beautiful ambience… ONLY complaint is that the servings sizes were SO SMALL that my husband and I had to order two entrees plus an app to have enough to eat. (And we don’t eat a lot, we’re not large people) Our server actually recommended that we did and we’re happy we ordered more. So because of the multiple entrees plus an app the bill was naturally higher than it could have been so I don’t believe the value was great.More infoCala ScottsdalePrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Central Scottsdale•4.3
- TTiffanyPortland / Oregon •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIt’s all in the details! Chef Joey does everything he does well and with style. The decor is on point, keep and eye on the murals - it’s fascinating. Everything we ate and drank was very good, if not great. Great wine list selection, I got the special - gnocchi and mushrooms - and too was excellent. This is definitely one we will return to when we are in town!More infoThe ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• North Scottsdale•4.6
- JJimCoastal Georgia •11 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe celebrated our 32nd Wedding anniversary, and as usual, the experience at Elements was outstanding. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful without being intrusive. The ambiance and surroundings are superb. Our starters and entrees were exceptional, and the chef's anniversary dessert was out of this world. Overall, a 5-Star experience. My only complaint- and this is about almost every restaurant we've patronized lately- was the inappropriate music selection--much too contemporary and improper for a fine dining experience. Please use simple background jazz at a lower volume. Your guests will appreciate it!More infoelements at Sanctuary Camelback MountainPrice: Very Expensive• American• Central Scottsdale•4.5
- JJulieVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a wonderful meal on a Thursday evening. Just two of us. It was bustling as they have a solid happy hour daily 3:30-6:30. Started with beef tartare and octopus. Loved the endive vessel for the tartare instead of typical bread. Next course, gigli pasta - so simple yet full of flavor. I enjoyed the portion size for two people (smallish), allowing us to try a number of dishes. We are not big eaters but enjoy a variety. Lastly, as an entree we shared the branzino. Perfectly prepared, filleted, no head, no bones. The sauce was a compliment but did not take away the taste of the fish. Highly recommended! Service was spectacular too.More infoFat OxPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Central Scottsdale•4.6
