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.

This was everything that I could want in a nice dinner. The ambiance is the epitome of classic cool while being beautiful, cozy and comfortable. I sat in the lounge by the fireplace and it was so cozy. The service was impeccable. Amanda provided excellent recommendations and was very attentive and personable. The food was also outstanding. Truly a memorable meal from start to finish. I already look forward to returning.
