E+O Kitchen opening in popular Hyde Park spot


The restaurant most recently known as Dancing Wasabi will soon be a new concept when E+O Kitchen, whose name is taken from Chicago-based Chef Rodelio Aglibot’s restaurant Earth and Ocean, opens later this month.
 
The restaurant, located at 3520 Edwards Road off Hyde Park Square, has seen a number of different concepts in the past few years, including Beluga and sushi restaurant Dancing Wasabi. Owners Mike Hama and Lee and Nick Grammas like to redesign the space every few years to keep things interesting.
 
Aglibot is designing the menu, which will be Asian-inspired with a Latin flare. Local Chef Owen Maass will head up the kitchen. He's the former chef at Cumin in Hyde Park and is returning to town after a stint in Columbus.
 
The restaurant space is being redesigned to let in more light and will be more organic and rustic looking. The building used to be a house, and the ceilings have been raised and the windows have been opened up.
 
E+O Kitchen will serve lunch, brunch and dinner and will have a moderately priced menu.
