Fodor's Review:

Perched on the side of Camelback Mountain at the Sanctuary Resort, this stylish, modern restaurant offers breathtaking desert-sunset and city-light views. There's a cordial community table where you can sit and order such appetizers as the trilogy of duck, wild escargot wontons, and fried calamari with miso-scallion vinaigrette. Entrées are excellent; among the best is the bacon-wrapped fillet of beef with Maytag blue cheese and merlot demi-glace.

The view here is spectacular and the ambience is lovely though pretentious--sort of a "see and be seen" atmosphere. Great spot for a romantic meal. The food is very tasty, but the menu is small and the portions are tiny.
