There were a few handicapped parking spaces available within the shopping center and the entire restaurant is on 1 level - no steps. Overall we had marvelous dinner and will definitely return.

| Elements (The Sanctuary) | x | 3 | 5700 E McDonald Dr. Paradise Valley AZ 85253 | Scottsdale/Paradise Valley | (480) 607-2300 | American | $$$ | Elements is one of the finest restaurants in the entire Phoenix area but is a challenge for wheelchair accessibility. WARNING: The restaurant (and spa) is built into the side of Camelback Mountain and as a result the landscape is quite steep with many steps. The staff here, however, are perhaps the finest I've ever seen when it comes to making you comfortable and providing full wheelchair accessibility. Let them know you'll need assistance when you make your reservation. While there are multiple steps at the entrance, the staff will seemlessly direct you to a special area to park where there is a ramped entry through the side door. There is a beautifully designed and large wheelchair accessible restroom, however it's hard to see, so ask. There are steps in the restaurant but many wheelchair accessible tables both indoors and on the patio. We dined at Elements a couple times including a wonderful Mom's Day brunch. On another occasion there was a special evening event, and I had to exit through an employee hallway which was not ideal but it was accessible without steps. Elements is expensive but a real memory! | View Website | Make Reservation | ||

Reminds me of some of the great New York and Chicago steakhouses. Spacious seating with virtually all tables wheelchair accessible. Very level, no steps and 2 handicapped parking spaces (although both were taken when I arrived at 5:30). WARNING: Men's restroom is small and not ADA compliant; you can access the restroom and stall but cannot close the stall door. I love sports memorabilia so we really enjoyed Don and Charlies. | View Website | Make Reservation | ||

| Tonto's Bar and Grill | x | 2 | 5736 E Rancho Manana Blvd Cave Creek AZ 85331 | Cave Creek | (480) 488-0698 | American, Southwest | $$ | Beautiful restaurant with rustic, southwest atmosphere and cuisine - only reasonable wheelchair accessible. Located 45 minutes northeast of mid-Phoenix. Probably the nicest restaurant in Cave Creek with indoor and patio dining over looking the Rancho Manana Golf Course. There are steps in the restaurant but there are generally ramps - I took a ramp and dined on the outdoor patio. The food and service at Tonto's was excellent. WARNING: The restroom was barely manageable for a manual wheelchair and certainly not ADA compliant. There was a big parking lot but only 2 handicapped parking spaces. This restaurant is popular and can get crowded. There is a beautiful bar room, separate from the dining area, which is down a couple steps and not accessible. | View Website | Make Reservation | ||

| Cowboy Club | x | 1 | 241 Arizona 89A, Sedona AZ 86336 | Sedona | (928) 282-4200 | Casual Steak House | $$ | We went, I ate but I'll not go again! One of the worst restrooms I have visited. Not wheelchair accessible and a disgrace I suspect to any Cowboy. We tried the rattle snake and buffalo brochette but it's probably best to stay with hamburger, bbq or steak. The cactus fries were pretty good. The restaurant is large and very popular and otherwise accessible, no steps anywhere, with several accessible tables. Many booths which were not accessible. Parking is limited to the street and small lots and Sedona is generally crowded. | View Website | Make Reservation |
