Combined with the friendly service, it creates the impression that you’re eating in a supremely tasteful Scandinavian friend’s weekend home.

    We had an amazing meal last evening at Elske! We chose the “Set Menu” option to get a sampling of all the different options and we were not disappointed. Each course was unique and delicious and, although small plates, we were pleasantly full at the end of the meal. The ambiance was cozy and buzzy without being too loud. The service was kind, prompt and knowledgeable. They let me try a couple of red wines to have with my beef course! Overall, the experience was awesome and well worth the trek into the city!! Highly recommended!!!

    We brought our two grandsons (ages 5 and 3) to the Walnut Room in Chicago on 1/3/2025, to experience the holiday decor. The "fairies" circulating around to each table were so engaging while chatting with our grandsons, and explaining how to "make a wish". Our server was very friendly and efficient, even under the pressure of a very busy day at the restaurant. The food was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised to see kids menu items available, which our grandsons thoroughly enjoyed. Two small glitches. . 1. Upon arrival, there were soiled napkins/food items on the floor next to one of the chairs at our table. I was disappointed at that mess. One of the "fairies" noticed this mess and got the staff to clean it up and 2. Our cocktails were served AFTER our food arrived. Despite these two small glitches, we had a wonderful time together, and on the way home, our 5 year old grandson told us he had the BEST DAY ever.
