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.

Server was amazing, very attentive without hovering; bus service / water refills were wonderful; shareables were tasty; happy hour ambience was fun! Looking forward to trying full dinners on next visit. Only negative was our six-top round was all the way in back of bar next to kitchen so restaurant personnel knocked into our chairs throughout our stay…we had reservation and place was empty when we were seated (just before 5 o’clock crowd) so they could have put our party in a more appropriate space for our size.
