How to book Elske

  1. Book directly on OpenTable

    Elske takes reservations on OpenTable. Start there: pick your party size and date, and book any time that works. OpenTable lists it as Casual Elegant, dress code: business casual.

  2. Be flexible on the night and time

    Prime-time weekend tables at Elske go first. Weeknights, early seatings and late seatings are the easiest to find.

  3. Watch for cancellations

    When Elske shows nothing open, plans still change. Tables come back when other diners cancel, often a day or two ahead, and they go fast.

  4. Let TableWatch watch for you

    Set the nights, time window and party size in the TableWatch app. We check OpenTable around the clock and push you the moment a matching table opens. You book it on OpenTable in your own account.

About Elske

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS: We can accommodate vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten, dairy, nut/peanut, & shellfish free diets. If any guests in your group have any dietary restrictions not listed above, or have multiple restrictions, email us at info@elskerestaurant.com before booking, as we may not be able to accommodate. ABOUT: 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 friendly service, it creates the impression that you’re eating in a tasteful Scandinavian friend’s weekend home.
