Elske was simply outstanding. Our group ordered the tasting menu, and we all loved it. The lamb tartare and the duck liver tart were standouts. Service was friendly and very attentive, and the space is lovely. Good reasonably priced wines are available too.

I had been wanting to check this bar out for a few years. I had high expectations and my expectations were greatly exceeded. Amazing spot. Great cocktails. Attentive bartender. And what I did not expect was absolutely amazing food as well. Come for the cocktails. Or the food. Or both. Excellent spot for a fun evening.
