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.

Really wonderful meal, with exceptional service, in a beautiful space. Not cheap, but as a wise man has said, the scandal in fine dining is not how expensive good food is, it's how cheap bad food is. Keep up the great work!!

We had the most lovely brunch at North Pond. It is very much worth the cost. The servings were huge, and everything was delicious. The drinks are also reasonably priced for brunch. Service was impeccable.

Service was exceptional. Staff was so accommodating. We were running late due to traffic and weather on a busy holiday. It was my daughter’s birthday and they still accommodated us, our server was awesome and would definitely return.
