At E+O, Earth & Ocean are lovingly combined, refined, and explored, creating a truly unique culinary experience. The Earth and Ocean concept is defined by a passion for Asian Cuisine and world class hospitality. Calling upon influences from the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, and other Asian countries, E+O starts with a dish then works backwards, procuring the highest quality local ingredients before bringing it to life. Earth and Ocean means more than just a range of menu options. E+O stands for our commitment to doing whatever it takes, going wherever we must, in order to find the freshest ingredients and combine them in a way that creates a nuanced, unique, culinary experience. Expertly trained and committed to their craft, our chefs are determined to deliver a culinary experience unlike anything our guests
have experienced before. By constantly refining key aspects of our menu, our chefs work to unlock the true beauty that lies between Earth & Ocean. Located on West Freedom Way in downtown Cincinnati, E+O is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Thursday from 11:00am- 9:00pm, and Friday from 11:00am- 10:00pm. E+O also offers brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00am- 3:00pm. Happy Hour, that includes discounts on select appetizers, sushi, burgers, and alcoholic beverages, is offered Monday through Friday from 2:00pm - 6:00pm.
