Additionally, I love the chocolate covered pretzels (rolled in caramel before being dipped in chocolate). Everyone always loves chocolate covered strawberries, bananas, etc... Lastly, who doesn't love FUDGE? ANY kind of fudge!! After thinking about this, I wish I could go again! HAVE SOME CHOCOLATE FOR ME! :) I haven’t been to this in a few years (because I work weekends now) but the last several times I went, the Cerreta’s Booth was my absolute favorite where you could “Make-Your-Own” Chocolate Pizzas – they were FANTASTIC!!

It is surprising to see how fast the cars go! I pretty much stayed in the "right lane" and drove like a grandma but I still had fun. :) K1 Speed is pretty cool – I didn’t realize there was such a large indoor racetrack here in the Phoenix area.

I have been the last three years and the truffles and the chocolate fountain are crazy fun. The hot chocolate is so creamy and good it keeps you out all night wanting to have more. You cant go wrong with chocolate or anything that is covered in it. What a great and amazing time!!!!! I have to say it gets better every year.

I was a little skeptical the first time I tried chocolate covered bacon but after that, I now search it out at fairs and local events. I have never been to the chocolate festival personally but downtown Glendale is a fun place to go even when there isn't an event.

I have never had a bad experience here in over 30 visits. This is my favorite place in town for Lamb Chops, they go perfectly with the au gratin potatoes.

EVERYTHING! Additionally, my boyfriend (who lives in Santa Fe, NM) and I go there as frequently as possible and are never disappointed. We, too, love the Lobster Bisque - sometimes you have to ask for it if it's not on the menu. Every item, from pre-dinner drinks (Mike loves their martinis), appetizers / salads, main course selections to desserts (I love their creme brulee ... and anything chocolate) is superlative! We have also been to the Camelback and Las Vegas locations but Scottsdale is our favorite. Here is an indication of why we love this restaurant so much: On my 65th birthday (a very special birthday), Mike asked me to pick where I wanted to go. I had heard so much about Elements Restaurant at The Sanctuary & wanted to try it; I made the reservations personally, telling them of this special occasion. My birthday is in August, not normally a busy time in the desert. When we arrived, they did not have the requested booth or even a table, but said we could wait in the bar an "undetermined" length of time. They were indeed buzzing with activity but what about my reservation? Mike & I decided to leave; when the valet brought the car, they slammed the door. I was furious. Mike & I sat there in amazement. Well, what now? We discussed our options (we also love Ruth's Chris in Scottsdale, and other popular spots, but I said, "Let's go to Capital Grille because they are always good to us & appreciate us!" We drove straight there & explained the situation. They had us wait just moments before they took us to one of our favorite booths, complete with rose petals and a very festive "birthday table"! They catered to us, as usual, but made it extra special. It was a fabulous evening! Capital Grille saved the day for us and we will always remember how hospitable they were to us!

I also agree the Filet Oscar is to die for. I go every chance I get. Capital Grille is also great about giving back to the community. Wish they had one on the West Side!!!

Great service and a nice, relaxing atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place with excellent cheese and wine pairings, then I’d definitely recommend Cheuvront.
