    Went to dinner to Christmas night. It was a set menu and the restaurant was full but they were either woefully understaffed or the manager doesn’t know how to run a kitchen on a night like this. We were seated 20 mins late and no one came to the table to greet us for another 20. After we made our menu choices, we got the bread course (just bread and butter) fairly quickly. After that it was over an hour before our second course arrived, numerous tables were suffering through the same issue and everyone was getting more infuriated. Neither our server or the GM bothered to tell us what was happening until I finally got up and flagged someone down. We did not get our appetizer and soup until we had been seated for almost 2 hours! Completely unacceptable when you’re paying $170/person excluding tax and gratuity. Terrible experience all around. Chaos all over the restaurant. The entrees were actually quite good once we finally got served. While experience took almost 3 hours and not in a good way. Can’t imagine what people with later reservations went through in terms of waiting.

    Food took two hours. It was good once it arrived but, by that point, everyone was hangry. It’s too expensive to be that delayed. At one point, there weren’t and people in our area of the restaurant eating… Ruined the night.

    Amazing! Prior to dinner, we had drinks and apps at the Jade and loved the service, creative drinks (Ruby Slipper and Chocolate Old Fashion) and delicious food! The view was spectacular! Then moved over to The Elements for an outstanding dinner! We sat outside and looked out over the beautiful lights and mountains. The food was wonderful!! Diver Scallops were our favorite but crab cakes, fillet and Salmon were equally delicious!! Just an outstanding experience all the way around!! Well done!!

    The restaurant was bustling and energetic on Christmas Eve! The staff was welcoming. Our server, Shannon, was friendly, helpful and engaging. The menu offerings were interesting and our food order was excellent. Of course, the view of Paradise Valley at sunset is extraordinary! We highly recommend a visit for dinner. We’re excited to try brunch at Elements!

    It is a shame to see such a nice restaurant ruined. We had a very nice and polite server, but there is only so much that she can do. They no longer have their old chef, and with the new chef comes an “improved” menu, which drastically increased prices, drastically reduced the menu size, and “overhauled” every remaining dish into overpriced garbage. News flash, cutting half your menu, adding truffles to everything, and doubling the prices doesn’t make you a nice restaurant. We paid $600 for 6 ounces of undercooked steak, one crab leg cut in two pieces, and a couple under-portioned lackluster appetizers. We used to cherish this restaurant for the beautiful view of the valley, it is a shame that we will have to find someplace new.

    It's obvious that Chef MacMillan left the Sanctuary: higher prices, lower quality.
