    Hit or miss . Today was a miss. Service level was way below what we normally receive. Food was salty and average. We’ve had great meals and service in the past but not today.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that today's experience didn't meet the standard you’ve come to expect from us. We truly value your input and would appreciate it if you could share more specifics about the dishes you found overly salty. This will help us take a closer look and make any necessary adjustments. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with the great food and service you’ve enjoyed in the past on your next visit. Sincerely, Matt Hobbs Executive Chef

    Elements at Sanctuary is over-the-top fantastic. I cannot thank the staff enough for a very enjoyable anniversary dinner. I’ve always known the views from their mountain perch at superb but I had no idea how delicious their food was and how uniquely they presented. Highly recommend the Hamachi which is served on dry ice…looks like a smoking caldron when it comes out. And the serving team was phenomenal….the GM and several key staff personally visited us and wished us Happy Anniversary and brought out a nice champagne toast and special dessert. Wonderful experience. I highly recommend joining them one evening.

    Love this restaurant but wish they could find a sound track that was mellower—no vocals, saxophone or pounding rhythms. Surely there is a background music that is just cool.
