A Cincinnati Asian fusion restaurant is gearing up to open its third location.
E+O Kitchen will open in the former Tahona space in Loveland on Thursday, Feb. 13. Its parent company, Earth and Ocean Restaurant Group, which also operates E+O locations in Hyde Park and at The Banks, announced the expansion as part of its strategic growth plan at the end of 2024.
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring the E+O experience to the east side of Cincinnati,” Tim Weiss, general manager of E+O Kitchen, said in a press release. “This new location is perfectly situated across from the Loveland Bike Trail and just steps from the river — giving our guests the chance to enjoy our world-class menu while taking in the beautiful outdoors. The outdoor seating area is going to be incredible, especially when the weather warms up!”
The Loveland restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a cozy bar. E+O’s menu features dishes centered on wholesome and organic ingredients with a lot of Asian influences. Dishes include sushi, nigiri and sashimi, as well as Buddha bowls, salads and a blend of Asian- and American-inspired entrees, like the Miso Glazed Black Cod, which comes with roasted bok choy and orange-ginger dressing and the Sticky Burger, a Wagyu beef patty with barbecue sauce, peanut butter, fried onions and cheddar.
The Little Miami River Chamber Alliance says prior to opening, E+O has been focused on community engagement in the Loveland area, including connecting with local businesses, sponsoring the Loveland High School’s girls’ basketball team and becoming the title sponsor for the Loveland Athletic Boosters’ annual Tiger Ball.
A public ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held for the restaurant on Feb. 13 at 5:30 p.m.
