I know nothing about the resort so I cannot confirm the following comment but at least experiencing the dining half I would say it is plausible... Some resorts are known for having good dining within, here Elements is known for having a resort around it. We were a large group sitting outside all to ourselves which was wonderful to say the least. Service was outstanding but with all of this it still comes down to the food. For the table there was made available a sampling of appetizers including the SHISHITO PEPPERS, AHI TUNA TARTARE, and others. For the main course I had the COFFEE RUBBED MAPLE LEAF FARMS DUCK which was amazing. A dining experience sometimes goes down with a larger table count. For this place, this night, outside next to the view and fire to keep us warm, brilliant service with amazing food made it five stars for all. read more

Pretty disappointing brunch experience at one of the nicest resorts in town The brunch menu is pretty much limited to eggs, avocado toast, club sandwich ....and some delicious Korea waffles. Us asking if there were other options was responded with "that's the menu the chef made and there are no other options" Don't get me wrong, there food is good but not the 5 star experience we we were hoping for. The 2nd high chair was just dropped off by a guy in a suite and tie without any help removing the other chair. The second chair just kept sitting in the way. Again, not really 5 stars Lastly, we were seated right in the way of an door open to the outside. Since it was in the low 60, we raised concerns about it (in particular with our 6month and 2y old)and got assured that the door is usually shut. In the end, the door opened every 30s with people going in and out and I even had to close the door myself once or twice. My feedback to the hostess was responded with a "ok". To be transparent, I told her we don't want to move now since we just started eating but I did expect that someone would stop by to check on us. read more

Menu more like a steak house but thought it was pretty good. Gnocchi, steak, carrots and mashed potatoes were great. Chef recommendation was med and was a great call on ribeye. I typically get med rare but med was perfect for the cut. Gnocchi is the best in town. Service was great as well just. Everything was slow (bar and restaurant) but nothing the servers couldn't control it. We were seated about an hr after our reservation. Mgt was apologetic and did acknowledge. read more

Drake would approve of this place. Why? Because he could enjoy his wine spritzers here in peace. Drake also probably already knows that this is *the* place to go while in Phoenix. I (unlike Drake in my imagination) am neither from "The 6" nor has I ever heard of Elements prior to dining there last week. However, upon returning home to DC, at least three people have either told me about their favorite restaurant in Phoenix (Elements) or have asked me if I had a chance to check it out during my visit. Lucky for me, I was able to check the box off on this impressive experience. The views here are top notch and quite honestly, could stand alone for me. Even if the food was mediocre, I would have still enjoyed a glass of wine and found the sunset views of the mountains, overlooking a beautiful infinity pool, breathtaking. However, the food is not mediocre. In fact, it's fantastic (and so is the service.) My coworker and I ordered the Miso Salmon to split, and I was impressive by the portion size. Even split, it felt like a satisfying, full meal especially accompanied by the rock fish sticky rice. (Which was creamy, flavorful and so, so good!) So yes, it's definitely worth the visit for a peaceful retreat, a glorious view and maybe, a wine spritzer. read more

This restaurant far exceeded expectations. The views are spectacular. The food is amazing and the wine selection is excellent. We had reservations for 8:15pm. We were sat on time. Our server, Chris, was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable and gracious. We will absolutely be back and we will be asking for Chris. read more

This Is not your typical dinner...this is your "special occasion" type of dinner! First, it's at the base of Camelback mountain so the view is spectacular. We sat outside on the patio (they have heaters). Started with the seafood tower which was fresh and chilled to perfection. It had: lobster, crab legs, oysters, prawns and several sauces. I had the lobster pasta dish which was tasty with a little spice. Hubby had the double cut pork chop which is their specialty, delicious. We also got the Brussel sprouts as a side which i highly recommend! It's truly a beautiful venue with top notch service & cuisine! Loved it! read more

Had an amazing brunch last weekend! Cannot beat the ambiance, views, and customer service here. Excellent service from Joey- he took great care of us without being overbearing. 3 of us got their burger, seems boring but it is truly so good. Our other guest got the lobster roll which he raved about, and he is extremely particular. They also brought us a yummy butter cake to celebrate my hubs birthday. In short- no better place to brunch on a Sunday. read more

Reserved ahead for brunch. Very busy. We ate on the patio. It was overcast with a little sunshine peeking through the clouds while we enjoyed light rain showers. Perfect weather after hiking and a long hot summer. I really appreciate their menu as everything that is gluten free or vegan is marked. This prevents me from having to call ahead and bug them with questions. It's not that I keep my allergies private as I am very transparent. I just don't want to make a big deal in front of friends and family when dining out. Or overwhelm the servers. We had the Farmers Market Crudite to start. I then enjoyed an Artisan Greens Salad (no cheese), and my husband had the Jade Burger well done and they listened. Everything was delish. Service and views were exceptional. We will definately have to come back one evening to enjoy a sunset. Talked with a few regulars and heard they mix a good drink as well! read more

Walking into the dinning room surrounded by big glass walls with a beautiful view of the valley. Walk out the back door and you're over the pool area, and can see the lights and home sip the mountain side. The staff was excellent, the food was fantastic. We had a group of 10 so we started with the seafood tower, we also got the calamari and shrimp sticky rice. It was all prefect, great flavors and very tasty. I had the Waygu beef cheek that was perfect, melt in your mouth with just a perfect sauce. The guy to my left got a Filet he jokingly cut with his soul spoon it was so tender. The overall experience and seething was fantastic, the food was excellent and the wait staff rocked!!!! If you're in the area make a point to try this place out you will not be disappointed read more

Elements - Breakfast Fried Rice - New American Near Me - Paradise Valley, Arizona

Where do I begin- I LOVE this place. The minute you walk in the door, you are treated like VIP. They greeted us by name, wished my husband a happy birthday, spent lots of time at our table answering our questions. Food was delicious, including the bread they give you to start. The view is spectacular- especially during the holiday season. Head over to Jade bar after for some awesome live music. We asked our server to save us a table and they did. They reserved it for us and walked us to it when we were done with dinner. Awesome service. read more

Beautiful views of the sunset. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. The food was amazing.

Thanksgiving dinner. Beautiful location, lovely staff. Food was subpar to say the least. Soup was the best course. I rarely review businesses. But the expense of this meal warranted a comment. We're PV residents but won't be back. read more

I LOVE a great fine dining experience, and Elements is such a great place to treat yo'self! (I actually went back in April but stumbling across some old photos of the sunset/food, I was suddenly compelled to write about how amazing this place is!) Drinks: -Some grapefruit cocktail caught my eye immediately, and it was perfectly refreshing and not too sweet. Starters: -Escargot Pot Pie: SO delicious. I cannot say enough about this ugh. -Roasted Oyster Rockefeller: I really liked the incorporation of Chinese sausage. It was such a unique way of incorporating Elements's Asian inspiration! Reading it on the menu, I have to say I was kind of confused (being Chinese), but the flavors went together very well! If you're trying to get the best bang for your buck, maybe not the best choice dish. But if you are treating yourself, try this out! Main entrees: -Kurobuta Pork Chop: Love the pork with the 5 spice seasoning, and love the brussel sprouts/bacon in this! Plus the pork was so tender and just melted away in my mouth! -Miso Glazed Salmon: Flavors in this were seriously spectacular. I always wonder how salmon can be done uniquely and if it's worth the money or not, and this salmon proved it can and is indeed! -Coffee Rubbed Maple Leaf Farms Duck: THIS was a stunner. Presentation was definitely 5/5 for this with all the colors. Flavor combinations were also unique and relatively uncommon, so I'm glad my whole party agreed to try this! Dessert: -Banana Miso Upside Down Cake: For the people who don't love super sweet desserts, this cake is your friend. The bacon brittle was just crunchy to perfection, and paired with peanut gelato? I swear my mouth is watering looking at my photos now. On top of quality food, the view is stunning! I cannot wait for another occasion to come here! read more

Scottsdale has plenty of great restaurants to choose from but 3 of the 5 nights this trip, I ate here. I had the Filet, the Chicken, the Sea Bass and pretty much every appetzer besides fois Gras and oysters as they were out. Everything tasted amazing. The portion sizes are generous. The service, views and ambience are spectacular. read more

Elements - Dumplings and Mac & cheese - New American Near Me - Paradise Valley, Arizona

It pains me to write this as before I moved out of AZ a couple years ago elements was my go to restaurant for any occasion! I brought my boyfriend here for breakfast as we are in town this week and leaving embarrassed that I spoke highly of this place. I'm unsure of what happened in the last couple years but we were seated at a table with dirty linens and menus. It took quite some time to be serviced with waters and my mimosa took almost 10 minutes to arrive. Our food was good but upon arrival it was served without utensils. Our waitress was very kind and comped our drinks along with an additional 15% off without me saying anything. It was very sad for me to see this place once be one of my top establishments to dine at - at one point I even considered membership as I was utilizing the spa so much! It is no longer the same elements I once remember loving. I hope this was just a bad day but I am leaving so disappointed and really don't see myself ever returning after experiencing this service. I also would like to note it was not crowded so there really is no excuse for the extended wait times. read more

Elements - Dirty linens upon being seated. - New American Near Me - Paradise Valley, Arizona

Wow, what an amazing dining experience. The views are breath taking. We started off with a glass of wine in the bar. Clear, beautiful sunset. We were handed one of the most elegant wine lists I have ever seen in my life. There were wines from Bordeaux, Napa, Spain, and where ever great wines are from. The menu had some interesting starters like oysters Rockefeller, beef dumplings, and tuna tartare to name a few, but the main course was the winner. I had the best Alaskan halibut I have ever had. My lady had a great salmon. The couple we were seated with had split the 20oz ribeye. That was awesome. I'll try that next time. I gave it 4 stars, because it was my first time. I'm sure my next review will earn another star. read more

My husband and I did a foodies tour through Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Tahoe and Oregon. We watch food Network quite a bit and were excited to check out BeauMac's restaurant. Service was amazing! Food was really good too, just a few slip ups on the food and that's why I'm giving it a 4 star rather than a 5. My main dish was the miso bass. The fish was awesome, cooked well and flavorful. The side to it was a carrot ginger puree. This I did not like. I love ginger, I even make my own ginger teas, and this puree was so ginger forward it was unappealing. I couldn't even eat it. We also had the charred octopus that was just a tad too on the fishy side but overall tasty. I also had the farmers market salad that was just really boring. It seemed like there weren't many components to it, just a bowl of mixed greens, would never order again. My husbands main dish was a lobster pasta that was very good! Overall it was a pleasant meal, but maybe not quite on par with the price point. View was good but on the patio is where the pool is and the pool looks like it's a bit dated and in need of an update. read more

I haven't been to Elements for several years. My husband and I have stayed there a couple times, and Elements was always our go-to place for special occasions. We used to sit at table 43. Last Wednesday, I took my best friend of 41 years to lunch to celebrate her birthday. We were sat at table 43, which was a nice coincidence, but things went downhill from there. Firstly, my bento box was "meh". Absolutely plain and nothing special for $24 -- four shrimps, cucumbers, rice, steamed vegetables. That's it. Secondly, our server was NEVER around. We would have had many more drinks, if we were asked, or if our server ever approached our table after we ordered. Now, there were several other bussers and other folks running around, removing stuff from our table and being very polite..... but no one asking if we needed anything else (like more cocktails). So, after blah-mediocre food, and bad service, and $19 martinis, we were rewarded by having an automatic 20% tip added onto our bill. I guess I wouldn't bust my ass too much at Elements if I was a server, either. Not if I was guaranteed 20%! Not returning. read more

The views, service, and delicious food all combine to bring a really special experience. Booked this on a whim and I'm so so happy I did. They are very aware that this place draws people celebrating special occasions and they go out of their way to make it special. There is valet parking. Pro tip: If you can, book a table for sunset-- the views are incredible. read more

Why an excellent way to spend a girls night! The service here is exceptional, everyone worked as a team, our table was consistently being looked after, and all the staff was attentive and helpful! For appetizers: the dumplings, absolutely phenomenal. It was first time having dumplings with no meat but they were perfectly the flavored and the sauce was the best part! For entrees: The lobster carbonara. Extremely rich with large chunks of lobster (no skimping here!). I ended up taking leftovers home. The filet wrapped in bacon: perfectly tender! This will be the dish of choice next time I am here. Biting into this was absolute heaven and I was insanely envious that it was not my entree. Chicken: I cannot remember the formal name of this dish, but it was chicken with au jus. The chicken was moist, which is always my number one worry when ordering chicken. The skin was crispy and the au jus was the highlight of the dish. Now, my favorite tasting from the evening was a side I ordered for the table. The brussel sprouts! You will not regret ordering this side. It's tossed with large chunks of pancetta and kimchi. Not too spicy, not overly heavy. Perfection! I am already dreaming about eating this again. read more

Elements - Salmon and 12 oz steak - New American Near Me - Paradise Valley, Arizona

I rarely am ever left with no words at a restaurant. I was blown away by the entire experience. Food: A+ 10/10. Everything we ordered was delicious, and it came out so fast! Service: Superb-from our server to the food runners. Everyone delivered top notch customer service. My husband and I are on an alcohol cleanse, and I really was tempted to break because all the cocktails looked amazing. But since we were not drinking, our waiter came by and put our Pellegrino bottle on ice so that we could keep it chilled on a very warm Arizona evening. That attention to detail makes a world of difference. I truly appreciated that, and that got me here to yelp to let everyone know that they deliver and then some on exceptional service. Lastly, holy smokes the views! The restaurant is located in the Sanctuary Resort and this place is freaking gorgeous. Note to self to stay here next time we come back. The views of camelback as you drive in-so beautiful. We sat outside, and man was it breathtaking. Do yourself a favor visit this restaurant! You will not be disappointed. read more

My wife and I came here for brunch, and while the food was pretty good, it didn't really wow us. We had to deal with a bunch of annoying flies, and to top it off, my drink had a hair in it. They did say sorry and got me a new one, but it was kind of surprising that they didn't offer to comp it or even have a manager swing by to check on us. I didn't complain, but it's safe to say we're not in a rush to come back. read more

I ordered the shrimp bento box from the lunch menu. It came with 4 grilled shrimp, brown rice, a side of green veggies and mushrooms, and a side pickled cucumber salad. I enjoyed everything and thought the flavors were great, but of course it was a little overpriced. That is to be expected because you are paying for the view and the ambience. read more

Of course you can't beat the view. The food was good, but the desserts could be a lot better.

Had lunch here with my dad and we both absolutely loved it. The views are amazing and the service and food really impressed us.

Always excellent food, service and ambiance. Dine outside for excellent views. The steaks, especially filet,

Everything was awesome except for my entree. The dumpling app was delicious, service was top, desert was great, but my entree was bland. It was missing seasoning. I should have said something at the time. The menu seems awesome but it was a real bummer to pay 40 bucks for a bland entree.... I'll be back to try more dishes, I'm sure that's not the usual. read more

Elements definitely has ALL of the elements!! If you're in AZ and want a classy dinner equipped with amazing service and SPECTACULAR views then make yourself a reservation here now. I recently came with my boyfriend and we sat in a perfect corner booth that let us look out through the giant windows and admire the views. My one regret is not coming during sunset because WOW that would've been the icing on the cake! I started with the tequila peach cocktail and he started with the bourbon one. The tequila one was very summery and the perfect amount of sweet while the bourbon one was even better! (Which is a lot for me to say because I'm not the biggest bourbon fan.) After drinks we started with the Green Curry Coconut Mango Pineapple Mussels -- what a mouthful to say LOL. The curry flavoring paired with the fruit was very flavorful but my one suggestion is that the mussels itself were a bit too fishy for my liking. However, they were still cooked very good (just a personal preference). We also started with the Wagyu dumplings and you should 100% order these if you come. The sauce is rich but light and the potstickers were the perfect consistency. Once we let the appetizers digest we ordered some martinis which were very strong () and entrees. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and I ordered the special which was Arctic Char. I was blown away by both of these dishes and could not stop eating them! The Arctic Char was a perfect balance of rich but light flavors. It had a tomato and sweet corn sauce with lobster chunks on top and roasted potatoes. TO DIE FOR. The chicken was a show stopper as well! I feel like it's very hard to have a chicken dish that completely blows you away but this dish did exactly that. It was accompanied by spinach, potato purée and some gravy-ish sauce that tied it all together. Not to mention it was cooked perfectly! Sadly we were way too stuffed for dessert but next time I will be saving room for sure! Please treat yourself and make a reservation here NOW! read more

Great place for a nice high end dinner. We sat outside and had a nice view of the valley. Food was delicious, I ordered the 14-ounce NY strip. The brussel sprouts with bacon side dish was a hit at our table. PS: they also have a good kids menu (which isn't advertised on their website). read more

Our first trip to Scottsdale, AZ A friend suggest Elements. Getting a reservation was tricky and hard to get, obviously because the place is AMAZING!
