I was in Scottsdale on business last week. My fiance and I were excited to go to elements after learning it was Beau MacMillan's restaurant. We didn't go in with high expectations, just wanted to have a great meal and experience.\n\nBoy, did it not disappoint.\n\nOur servers were phenomenal. I had read some of the Yelp reviews prior to making our reservation and wanted to see if they were right. We didn't notice any lack of attentiveness on their end.\n\nAs an aside - if you go for dinner, definitely get a reservation around sunset. It has absolutely stunning views that shouldn't be missed.\n\nWe started off with the ahi tuna tartare. Simple and executed perfectly.\n\nMy fiance got the braised short ribs which was amazing. The short ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful. About the only downside was the placement of the truffle mac and cheese (underneath the short ribs instead of off to the side). I had the duck with forbidden rice. As a duck hunter, I've had my fair share of ducks. This duck was cooked perfectly, and the cherry braised cabbage and forbidden rice completed the dish nicely.\n\nWe picked the PB bomb for dessert. Don't bother looking at the menu, just get the PB bomb.\n\nOverall, there's not much more I would have improved. I'm looking forward to returning to Scottsdale and stopping by elements again.
