   Absolutely fantastic meal! We will be returning. The carrot dish from the tasting menu as well as the agnolotti from the regular menu were amazing!

   The food was inventive and tasty, but delicate: we especially loved the starter (tea of vegetables, with its smoky flavor); the fjord trout with carrots 3-ways; the steamed halibut; and the lamb saddle. The service was outstanding, the waitress so friendly and attentive. On top of that, because it was our anniversary, they welcomed us with champagne glasses. A truly perfect evening.

    This is a wannbe fine dining establishment that charges too much and offers too little. For comparison, and $30 less for the prix fixe, we had just been to Sepia, which was far superior. The menu with the Scandinavian flare is acceptable, but even the Scandinavians need more flavor and salt than was provided in the dishes. The menu is largely from the sea with only two meat dishes - one beef coulotte (a la carte) and a lovely lamb loin in the tasting menu that was distractingly paired with sausage. The wine list has as many red as white bottles and does not reflect the substance of the menu. The service is too casual, and somewhat sloppy, for an establishment that ask $115 for a tasting menu. If I had not waived down the server for the glass of red wine I had reserved for the lamb, it would have been forgotten. To their credit they comped me the last few ounces from the bottle. The lamb loin was very good. The dessert was excellent. The rest was forgettable and not noticeable by my palate. They have a long way and a lot of polishing before deserving their prices.

    Went w the set menu and wine pairing, w a guest who sampled the n/a juice pairing. Complex flavors, intricate plating, broad range of cooking techniques, choreographed pairings. Deconstructed rhubarb cheesecake was a showstopper. Top 5 dining experience.

    Elske's dining room decor is simple but elegant; the outdoor garden with fireplace is spectacular! So many wonderful menu options for either a multicourse dinner, or a la carte. Service is impeccable, from coursing, presentation and thoroughly creating a relaxed dining experience. This is a top Chicago choice for me and my family!

    I have eaten at Elske three or four times and it is always outstanding. The menu is creative and highly seasonal and the food is always delicious. The service is friendly and welcoming without being cloying or overbearing. It's a lovely room and the outdoor patio is charming. It works for a special occasion or a nice dinner with friends. We recently celebrated out wedding anniversary at Elske and they offered us a complimentary glass of champagne to start, which is just excellent hospitality. In a city like Chicago with so many amazing restaurants, we continue to come back to Elske.

    Food is fantastic. Staff is warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Restaurant ambiance is amazing; it’s unfortunate to make a reservation, and be seated where your view is a bathroom corridor. The restaurant mgmt should be smarter than that and keep the bar bathroom corner seats just for walk-ins or call you before to let you know. Bar seats are supposed to feel fun - closer to staff and to customers

    With friendly and attentive staff, we felt relaxed from the moment we walked into the restaurant. We had the tasting menu, one vegetarian and one fish/meat, with wine pairing. The food was amazing and great descriptions given by the waiter and chefs who presented each course. The only minor change I would suggest would be to have a bit longer between courses as they came out quite quickly. I would highly recommend this great restaurant.

    West loop restaurant Elske was nice. A 1 Michelin star, Scandinavian hinted restaurant menu. Cool vibe. Hard to read menu. We ordered what we thought would be good. However, the Quail dish was pretentious and undercooked. Fair priced w small cocktail and beer list. Service was friendly and professional
