- WWendyPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had the Tortellono and Chicken Parmesan sandwich. They were both fantastic. I also had a small Caesar salad which was tasty! The quality was excellent and we will be back!!More infoNorth Italia – ArcadiaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Central Phoenix•4.6
- JJeffreyGreater Boston •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)More infoLon's at The HermosaPrice: Expensive• American• Paradise Valley•4.8
- 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

- EEmilyMinneapolis - St. Paul •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoWe were early for reservations and grabbed seats and the bar for a couple of drinks while we waited. Our manhattans were excellent and our table was ready within 5 minutes of our reservation. We sat near the kitchen so there was some noise, but we enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant is huge so there’s plenty of room to find something more intimate. The scallops were fabulous, and my husband enjoyed his grain bowl with salmon. We finished with the butter cake and practically inhaled it. 3 cocktails, two entrees and a side plus a dessert for less than $150? We will absolutely be back!More infoThe Henry - PhoenixPrice: Moderate• American• Central Phoenix•4.8
