In 2019, the brewery relocated and expanded to launch two dining concepts: (1) a lively, à la carte restaurant, THE BAR, and (2) an elevated, intimate fine dining restaurant, THE DINING ROOM, helmed by Executive Chef James Bingham. Since opening, Moody Tongue has been honored to receive stars in the Chicago MICHELIN Guide in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.Please note: our tasting menu is exclusively available in The Dining Room; our a la carte menu is exclusively available in The Bar.For parties with 7+ guests, please e-mail contact@moodytongue.com for reservation inquiries as well as information regarding Semi-Private and Private Events.

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.

We had a wonderful evening at Elske! We started the evening with delicious cocktails and then chose from the a la carte menu. Every dish was excellent. Atmosphere was warm and the restaurant had good energy - and service was spectacular.
