Elements at Sanctuary is no secret. Executive chef Beau MacMillan, who’s thrown down with Bobby Flay and cooked for Jay Z and Beyonce, helped put Scottsdale on the food map with his seasonal menu focusing on local ingredients infused with Asian flavors. (Chef de cuisine Samantha Sanz is no slouch, either.) Not only will you have an unforgettable meal think braised volcano lamb shank with smoked eggplant, or black truffle lobster risotto with chanterelle mushrooms but the mountain views are also so swoon-worthy that you’ll at least
feel like you’re on vacation.
