   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.

   We went for the a la carte menu — Belgian endives, leek vinaigrette, lamb, and chicken fricasee — and everything was tasty. The staff were attentive and friendly. Their cocktails were awesome too! Really enjoyed the evening and would recommend Elske!

   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!!!

   Food is great. Servers are friendly but speak very quietly. There is not a print-out menu for vegetarians to follow along with.

   We were looking forward to celebrating NYE at Elske. The experience would have been much better if the chefs were more concerned about public health. The amount of salt in every dish was overwhelming. Roasted chicken croquettes with parsley were oozing salt. Also, most fish are cured in salt, so what is the reason to add more salt? Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place to friends with blood pressure issues because of the salt in the dishes. Also, we go out to enjoy our time at the restaurant without being rushed. The server snatched my cake from me without asking if I finished it, and then, without any question, the bill just appeared on the table. I enjoyed lamb tartare with beets, but they weren't mentioned in the dish description on the menu. I wouldn't mind paying extra for good food. Still, I expected the professionals to be most considerate of their customers' health and surprise me with the taste of the ingredients because I didn't need to pay $300 to experience the taste of salt. Overall, it is a nice restaurant, and I hope they will consider this suggestion—less salt.

    Amazing experience! Food and service were excellent! Timing was a little long between dishes( we ordered a la carte). We look forward our next visit!
