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.

Beautiful, interesting dishes. Unique cocktails, small enough for us to try a number of them. Publican Sourdough and butter, as well as the endive salad & sturgeon were outstanding. Hannah was perfect with her service and care of us. Highly recommend

This is our favorite place in the city for many reasons. The drinks, the food, the look and feel of it, but the number one reason we keep coming back is the people who work at RL. It was a wildly busy evening this last time we came in and while many would have folded, the team went out of their way to take care of us. And that’s what sets this place apart. You’re cared for here. We were listened to and made comfortable. It ended up being a wonderful evening all thanks to obviously the food and drink, but mainly each employee we came in contact with. Come for the lush martinis, the perfect dover sole, the rich wood and dim lights but keep coming back for the people.

Had a 6PM reservation and waited 45 minutes for our table. Kept being asked if we wanted a high top near the entrance but we made this reservation a few months in advance and one of the guest was 8 months pregnant so wanted a regular table in the back. Unfortunate experience. Been many times and never experienced this. No apologies for the wait. Bummer!
