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 chose the restaurant as it was accessible from our hotel on a really cold night and reviews seemed good. The space was nicely decorated and comfortable with a lively atmosphere. The waiter was efficient and cordial. Our drinks were excellent and we found the food to be so as well. We shared an order of the cheese curds with rémoulade to start; it was a generous portion indeed and delectable. I had an excellent prime rib done perfectly medium rare with a beautiful and tasty crust with mashed potatoes, jus and horseradish, which I was unable to finish. My companion had the rotisserie chicken which he declared to be nicely seasoned and moist. Again, it was a generous portion of half chicken, baby potatoes and baby carrots. We had no space left for dessert, but enjoyed the meal thoroughly.

I recently dined at the Ralph Lauren Restaurant in Chicago and had an exceptional experience. Our server, John, was truly spectacular—attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made sure our dining experience was perfect from start to finish. We were lucky to have a beautiful window view, which added to the overall ambiance and made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was exquisite, and the elegant setting made for a memorable evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or a lovely night out in the city!
