I took a gamble at finding a new place for us to check out for Christmas Eve dinner, almost solely based on where I could book a reservation via OpenTable. E+O was such a great find!! Out of the million times I have ever been to Cincinnati, I think this was my first time discovering the Hyde Park area....and it's really nice! The restaurant is located in a small shopping center and has easy access to parking. Japanese with a very modern feel is the vibe here. It's a small but quaint, trendy place to dine at. They were pretty dead on Christmas Eve, but everyone was friendly, we got our food quickly and they even helped bump my reservation up to an earlier time. The food was fantastic... I was afraid one roll wouldn't be enough, but it definitely was!! I also tried the 'Blackberry Bliss' cocktail, and would highly recommend to anyone who loves fruity drinks! read more

Food was amazing! Honestly, thinking about flying back to Cincinnati just so I can eat here.

This restaurant is up and coming for this area and the interior design of this restaurant was so nice. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive, to bad I don't remember his name. Not a formal restaurant but pretty modern. Has lots of greenery moss wall decor especially in the back. I had miso soup and it was so good! They put lots of chopped blocks tofu, very generous. The sushi were great and really recommend the hey vinnie sushi rolls. The combination of the tempura salmon, the avocado, asparagus, jalapeno, and tuna with wasabi aioli were on point. We ordered the salmon sashimi and salmon rolls for our kids and they devoured them. The sticky ribs were awesome food starter even my picky eater kids love them and licking the sauce good! I had the gaucho steak and i really enjoyed the crunchy fried onion and bitter green bokchoy on my medium rare steak. We also ordered the steak fried rice and they accommodate our fried rice eater pickiness. I said this place has reat food and great atmosphere. read more

Great food and service! The waiting staff was very nice and the wait time wasn't long at all.

My favorite place in the city! Earth and Ocean has an amazing ambiance, great music all the time, and great food. It's more so sushi and seafood. On the weekends they serve brunch and I love adding a pineapple mimosa as a nice touch. The staff is friendly and I practically am familiar with all the servers. read more

Yes, yes I will go way out of my way to come back for that lobster fried rice. I loved the presentation and the flavors were AMAZING! On a side note- of the very few negative reviews for this place- take a look at the reviews they leave for other places. Super entertaining Karen's. Parking is a little tricky (pay to park) but expect that in Hyde park dummies. I don't know who is running the kitchen but HELLa great job and whoever is running FOH - absolutely phenomenal staff - super friendly! Classy table service! Let's tip big people to keep our locals happy! read more

It was just an odd experience. Only one other table seated in the restaurant (an hour before closing). Tables were smushed near one another too closely. Server was okay, but not attentive at times. Music was more of a nightclub feel. About twenty men standing at bar watching basketball. It just wasn't my vibe. I'd been to the Loveland location recently, and it was good. Completely different atmosphere, service, and quality of experience. Food was okay. read more

My wife sent an invitation saying we had a 5PM reservation. It actually was for 5:45. I took a beer at the bar. The bartender was very friendly. They had Sella on tap, so I took it. They don't do change, so either use plastic or expect to round. The beer was good. I will have water until everyone else arrives. Salads for starters. Two orders of the Brussel sprouts salad received high marks. Watch out for the peppers. They are spicy. The shrimp fried rice is the best my wife ever had. I had the Brussel sprout salad with out the shrimp. Tasty. The key lime pie was great. read more

So the place was packed, the reception area was overflowing with standing waiting guests spread out close to the dining area already. Our appt was 7:30pm we were seated 20 mins later! We considered leaving already. Waited again for the server to come at least 5 mins after we're seated... we were about to be Haangry now...The food on the other hand came quickly. We were told theres a winter formal event & people are overstaying to chat. We started w/ tuna poke tower for appetizer, Miso Glazed Cod entree came w/ bokchoy & purple rice and it was really tasty and very good. The Seared Sesame tuna however was bland. I had to ask for soy and wasabi to give it a kick and life. We had a bottle of Sauvignon for $65, 2 dirty martinis and capped off with Bailey chocolate pot creme ah! That tiny thing was delish. I might give this place another try when no events are happening. read more

Lovely dinner and service. The tuna poke tower is a great appetizer and I love the crunchiness of the wonton chips. The yakatori grilled lamb chops were my favorite dish of the night. It was perfectly tender and the gochujang and chimichurri on top gave it a great flavor. My favorite roll was the number four. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner, Daniel was lovely and it was very delicious per usual!

I didn't know what to expect but was very pleased with E+O! We started with delicious shishito peppers that were served with salt flakes and a torched lemon wedge. Then we ordered the tango, hey Vinnie, and the lemon drop. They were all excellent, but out favorite was hey Vinnie. Hey Vinnie is refreshing with a complex flavor profile, the lemon drop is refreshing, but simpler, and tango was very rich and a bit heavier. We couldn't taste the mango that much though. The service was very fast and on point. I'd definitely come back if I'm craving sushi. read more

Very cool vibe and excellent food. Went for brunch and was not disappointed. Will be back.

The atmosphere here is light and airy; I love the front seating area where it feels like an outdoor patio with the benefits of a roof and AC. Service was friendly and prompt. The food was tasty and very fresh but the brunch menu is a bit limited and the portions are appropriate, but definitely not for those wanting a substantial/filling first meal. They no longer offer bottomless mimosas; instead, you can purchase a $40 bottle of bubbles that is served with a carafe of OJ. Not a great value, but still a pleasant visit. read more

This is a go-to take out spot for me. The restaurant itself is modern and has a vibe you need to experience for yourself. Upscale, a bit more on price, but the food is unique and tasty. I highly recommend their chicken friend rice as a simple, but delicious example of doing something "just right." Would not recommend their steak fried rice. The rest of the menu is great, adventure to your own level of comfort on the many food options. Helpful to know: Parking around here can be busy, especially during peak times. There are plenty of places nearby to make parking and having a walk a good addition to the meal, whether you stop for coffee before or desert after somewhere around Hyde park square. read more

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and decor at E&O! The sushi was good and the food as well. I do think that E&O is a little pricey and is trying to have a more expensive Miami vibe to it. I did only try the sushi, fried rice, pot stickers and edamame. Came here with a few friends from work and we split everything. The portions were small, probably would have ordered one more item if I knew how small they were. I will try out E&O again on a date night so I can try more of there entrees. Overall, great atmosphere, great service and decor. Will definitely be back to try some more entrees! read more

This was my first time visiting E+O since their opening years ago. My trip was driven by the Watermelon Wednesday Happy Hour, but the place really stole my heart. From the ambience and awesome lounge music soundtrack to our waiter to the food quality, I'm hooked. I started off my meal with the Watermelon Sugar cocktail and Spicy Garlic Edamame and then for my entrée, the Black Bean Burger. Everything was delish. Only feedback I have from this visit is: Turn the music up! Lol. Cheers! read more

Food and service was delicious and creative. Went with a friend, had a couple martinis, made perfectly. Started with edamame and the shrimp ceviche, and the ceviche was recommended to us and we were really glad the server did because we loved it. Entrees we shared some of the sushi dishes, also had some recommended to us and it was so delish and he directed us to some we might not have chosen but loved. Service was fantastic and very attentive. It was a very very humid day and windows and doors were open so it got really warm inside. I just wish they would have known to shut the door and up the AC because we were all sweating in there but that's just a random thing due to weather that day. Love the vibe and decor. read more

Been wanting to visit this place since, a long time. I must say this place has a a very unique serene decor with inside and outdoor patio sitting. The vibe is cool, kinda coastal with white interiors. Reserved seat through Open Table so, getting a table wasn't a problem. Our order had the following dishes : - Spicy Garlic Edamame - They happily agreed to serve the dip as a side instead of pouring it over. Nicely prepared. Edamame looked raw but were roasted inside ;) - Avocado Salsa - Hmm could have been better - Veggie Delight bowl - Tasty and gorgeous bowl with different veggie flavors mingling - Ahi Tuna Seared Rare - The bowl was same as veggie bowl with tuna on the side, tuna was little underwhelming. Could use more flavors. - Chicken Fried Rice - Delicious! - E+O Chicken Burger - Very yummy! - Rainbow Roll - Delicious sushi! Service and decor really tops the list. Food on the whole was average. Plus all items are a bit pricey so, visit this one if you want to splurge ;) read more

The atmosphere was really nice and their servers were attentive. The sushi was amazing and my food was delicious. Definitely recommend!

I came here for my birthday dinner since it was highly recommended, specifically the original HP location over the Banks location. The decor and greenery was beautiful and mesmerizing as you walk in, we sat in the back patio style area. I was a little disappointed about the size of the table we were given (it felt like we were always shifting our glasses and plates for more room, we got the normal amount of food?) and the volume of the noise that carried throughout that back area. Those are the only two reasons for my 4/5 stars. Service was normal/average, and the food was great! Plenty of food options for those that don't eat seafood/sushi and for those that do. I got a sushi roll with mango on top, as well as the ahi tuna for an appetizer. Can confirm the quality of the chicken stir fry, way more food than we were expecting! I'd love to try the Banks location or their new business Okto before making my mind on this franchise. read more

What a great spot! Dining here does not feel like you are in Hyde Park, or even Cincinnati. The vibe reminds me more of NYC to be honest. We came to enjoy dinner on a hot summer evening. As there was a very long wait for indoors, despite the heat, we sat on the patio. It was a nice spot on the terrace overlooking the street. Our waitress was great about keeping the cold water coming! I started with a refreshing Mango Mojito. It could not have been a more perfect combination of liquor and flavor. I am a big fan of mojitos and this version was right up there with all time favorites. For my main I got the famous crispy brussels and kale salad. This is a large portion so more than enough to share or eat as your entrée. Its funny because as a kid you hear the word, brussels, and you cringe. Then as an adult you realize there is a way to make them delicious and this by far was it. The crispiness and savory flavor was divine. The shrimp on top was fresh and tender. I could probably eat this dish every day, although it is a bit indulgent despite being "veggies". This is a great spot with an inventive menu and I look forward to returning. read more

I feel-bad posting reviews that aren't great, unfortunately I don't feel like I can give e + o a veryglowing review on the food. They had amazing service, great social distancing, free coffee, cleanliness standards were excellent, I just didn't really enjoy the meal. Between the two of uswe had a fried chicken biscuit that was not a very good biscuit, super crumbly and dry, doused in in aioli that overpowered the taste of the other componentsthat included a perfectly cooked egg in a pretty nice piece of chicken. The other dish was the breakfast sandwich that was pitiful, absolutely tiny, again covered in aioli, with barely any bacon and the most underwhelming little egg. both of those dishes came with what had to be an entire potato worth of fried potatoes, and the fried potatoes had no great flavor, other than oil. the last dish was the breakfast bootable which was actually beautiful and pretty well composed, there was a lot of rice but everything else fit in there pretty well. I think in retrospect I would take that Buddha bowl and add some type of meat to it or order it with an extra egg and try to make it into an actual meal, because on its own it would have only been filling due to the amount of rice.again service was great, and I was really impressed with the super beautiful space and the way that they've added in dividers and cleaning constantly, but the food was a big let down. read more

I met my cousin here for lunch and what a beautiful restaurant. They offered both breakfast and lunch and the menu options all sound delicious from chipotle chicken tacos black bean burger avocado toast and creamy chicken biscuit. It was a hard decision. We both decided on the Buddha breakfast bowl with avocado rice garden veggies and two over easy eggs. It was so good I ate every bite. I will be back and enjoy many of the other delectable menu options read more

Went here for my birthday, had a group of 13 and they got me in no problem. Such a lovely atmosphere, the interior design really makes this place such an amazing experience. Ordered the California roll (I know so adventurous!) but the table had lots of things, fried rice, vegetable salad, multiple types of sushi, edamame, and ended the lunch with the ginger blueberry sorbet! So so lovely, one of my favorite spots in Cincinnati! read more

This is literally the only Asian restaurant that has ever been able to not only accommodate but please my parents. With a menu that is truly a fusion of Asian cuisines but accessible to the palette of people who don't typically like the flavors of most Asian food, this place is a diamond in the rough. It's also great for dates as their outdoor patio and back room with a living plant wall make for romantic atmospheres. Bring a jacket if you tend to get cold because it's chilly inside. The bar and wait staff are very friendly and great with giving suggestions. I love the shishito peppers and the hamachi and scallion roll. Think upscale sushi and fine dining Asian and your expectations will be met. read more

E + O is a nightclub masquerading as a restaurant. The decor, sound system and alcohol were definitely the highlights. Don't get me wrong. The happy hour deals are great. Half-priced margaritas, beer, potstickers, etc rocked. But really, this place is just Asian-American fusion with their glorified bar menu. Mostly got a salty attitude, cuz they ruined the flavor of our sashimi dishes by drownin em in sauce. At least the service was excellent and the waitstaff was hawt. Overall I say, a fine place for drinks.... read more

I wished this place lived up to the hype, but it didn't. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I was disappointed. Very over priced. Food was ah ok. Service was great. Sushi was very overpriced $17 for a roll that wasn't even high end. Shrimp tempura, salmon and a splash of lemon. Tacos were the size of 2 fingers. Over $15. Maybe it's the inflation, but I was not impressed. read more

Went for dinner on a Tuesday to celebrate a birthday. Made a reservation online but definitely didn't need one, plenty of open tables. Ordered Gyoza as an app, delicious and decent portion. I had the Dragons Breath roll which was very good, and my Fiance had the regular burger which was fine. Only thing that I was disappointed in was the table we were sat at. All of the tables in the restaurant looked great except for ours. The finish was sticky, it seems someone used the wrong cleaner on it. All of our glasses, silverware, napkins, etc. stuck to the table the whole time. None of the other tables looked like ours, they were nice polished wood. Ours was dull with weird stains on it. We will definitely return, but really hope to never be seated at that table again. read more

My husband made reservations for my birthday dinner knowing my love of both sushi & trying new places. We were seated at a table by the entrance & sushi bar. It had a nice modern vibe but also felt relaxed. To start we shared the lomi-lomi (salmon, tomato, scallion, pineapple, jalapeno, red onion, lemon zest). It was served with what I believe was fried nori (to be used as a chip & dip type situation, if you will). We both very much enjoyed it, it had a good flavor but not over the top. Next we shared a couple of sushi rolls - the Deal Closer (tempura shrimp, snow crab, cream-cheese, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo, unagi sauce, tempura fried) and Hey Vinnie (tempura salmon, avocado, asparagus, topped with tuna, jalapeno, cilantro, eel sauce, wasabi aioli). Both were very delicious & unique. I felt like the unagi sauce took the Deal Closer to the next level & my husband really enjoyed the sesame seeds on the Hey Vinnie. I don't know if I could choose a favorite, they were both amazing. We also enjoyed the lobster fried rice, which is exactly what it sounds like & was also delicious. I believe we finished with the pot de crème (chocolate custard, whipped cream, chocolate). It was good, I think I just wanted a little more crunch to go with the delicious velvety chocolate. All in all, it was an excellent birthday dinner & I look forward to dining here again in the future! read more
