Price: Very Expensive
• American • West Loop
Booked 21 times today
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.

    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.

    I primarily went for the Xtreme Drag Bingo held every Thursday evening. I made a reservation, but I doubt I couldn't have just walked in at 6 pm. Plenty of open tables and seating at the bar. Once Bingo started, Lark started filling in. Seems to be a popular event with several regulars. High energy and so much fun! I had the Thursday Happy Special margaritas for $10 each. They were reasonably strong but hard to not sip faster! The nachos were a generous portion, but the cheese had the texture of Cheesewiz. Otherwise they were yummy and satisfying. And 25% off on Thursdays!
