    We were very excited to try this gorgeous restaurant.Service was good except server didn’t tell us our food came with potato when we asked so we ordered extra side of potatoes when it wasn’t necessary. The food overall was disappointing for the price. Very mid level dining experience.

    Excellent experience from valet drop-off to dessert. Vista of Paradise Valley from the dining room is beautiful. Menu was varied (sushi to seafood and meat) and dishes we chose were excellently prepared and presented. This was a great restaurant for a special dinner!

    Views were incredible, our waiter was attentive. We had bread and oysters; bread was not pillowy soft or hot. Just over cooked focaccia with basic simple butter. We waited quite a while before our waiter told us sorry about our wait and that our entrees; chicken and salmon would be out soon. However when they arrived at our table, both meals were room temperature. They were not hot like they came right off the grill or oven. Salmon was over salted and under cooked. Disappointed as I had high hopes.

    OMG, where to begin in our experience. Chef Mathew Hobbs cuisine & his culinary team blew these two hospitality industry veterans away with his creativity & fine food execution. We were fortunate to have the personable service master, Nathan guide us through the numerous delectable menu choices. Nathan is exceptional for his knowledge & a perfect collaborator to the culinary team. Elements is absolutely a Michelin Star level experience without the pretension & the gracious , friendly staff made this a most memorable evening for us. Thank you.

    This place is one of the best in the valley for views and ambience. The menu is a bit more traditional (and frankly less interesting) than it has been in past years, but the quality is high...as are the prices. Service seems to have taken a step backward from prior visits and wasn't commensurate with the pricing. Our server was friendly enough but seemed to have too many tables so we had a few lulls. But the views are amazing and the food well-prepared, so it's still a great special occasion restaurant.
