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 restaurant was crowded. Yet the noise level was not overpowering. The greeters at the check-in were friendly. Our server, Peter Axelsen was awesome!!! He recommended a mocktail that was the best drink ever. We appreciated the restaurant managers stopping by our table to check on us twice. The food was superb.

We were celebrating our anniversary and Elske exceeded our expectations not only with their food, but with their service and kindness. They made accommodations for food allergies and were one of the best meals we’ve ever had.
