About

At Elske, we have been looking to create enhanced health and safety procedures, on top of the ones already in place and required by the CDC. We require all of our guests and employees to wear a face mask, wash their hands thoroughly and often, avoid close contact, and remain home if displaying any symptoms related to COVID-19. Our team goes above and beyond, and we hope you will kindly do the same.Please take your temperature before dining with us. Please respect our team and your fellow diners. Thank you for your patience, respect, and support during these times. We look forward to having you dine with us!

-David and Anna Posey
