    If you're going to get your mojo working, it helps to have a sexy setting. At elements, the fine-dining spot at Sanctuary on Camelback, every aspect of the restaurant seems designed to conjure up romance, from sleek furnishings and an unforgettably gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains to chef Beau MacMillan's Asian-inflected, seasonal cuisine. Dishes like pan-seared wild salmon with udon noodles, shiitake mushrooms, snap peas, sesame, and ginger are sure to make your loved one's mouth water, while decadent desserts like chai-spiced honey cake and chocolate three-ways will help you leave subliminal messages about what's in store after dinner. And if the aphrodisiac effect of so much wining and dining kicks in too soon, don't worry this is a resort, after all.

    Its got one of the great views anywhere, and certainly one of the great views in the valley. Its on the hillside in the Camelback area. Everything is good there. Ive never had a meal there that wasnt a 9. Its got all the things you want ambience, comfort, its a high end location, its a showy location. Every meal Ive had there is good. The menu changes. Its seasonal. Its got it all.
