PLEASE NOTE: **We can accommodate vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten free, dairy free, nut/peanut free & shellfish free diets. Before booking, please email us at info@elskerestaurant.com regarding any restrictions that are not listed above. We may be unable to accommodate certain restrictions, or diners with multiple restrictions.** Elske means love in Danish, a nod to both David Posey’s Danish mother and the fact that the couple got engaged in Copenhagen. “Our travels in Denmark have really influenced us,” Chef Posey said. “We like that clean, simple aesthetic.” The dining room — all crisp lines, minimalist décor & soft lighting — is anchored by a wide open kitchen on one side & a small patio with a working fireplace on the other. Combined with the friendly service, it creates the impression that you’re eating in a supremely tasteful Scandinavian friend’s weekend home.

    The Lark is always a great choice. I have been there usually around the Christmas holiday and it is beautifully decorated. The food is delicious, waitstaff friendly and efficient. The Christmas drink specials are great. I would highly recommend the restaurant.

    Came back here because of a gift certificate I received because my last experience was mediocre. But they made up for it. Went for lunch, had a good table,and a wonderful server. The manager saw yo it that this was an excellent visit. Food was delicious and prices were not that high. I recommend going just be prepared for some noise.
