Enson Harbor is a restaurant just on the other side of the river from Cincinnati. Check out their Asian fusion menu and waterfront dining.
Enson Harbor is, as you might guess from the name, a waterfront restaurant. It's tucked right on the edge of the Ohio River (on the Kentucky side), and is minutes away from lots of area attractions.
We visited this Asian fusion restaurant on a weekend where we'd been exploring Cincinnati, particularly the Over the Rhine district with its underground brewery tours and historic Findlay Market.
Back on the Kentucky side, though, there's plenty to enjoy as well. Here's a look at what to expect from Enson Harbor!
Finding the Restaurant
This restaurant is about a half-mile from the I-471 bridge, with a great view of the river and the city skyline.
There's a lot of both outdoor and indoor seating at Enson Harbor.
The restaurant is within easy walking distance of New Riff distillery. If you want to check out the ever-popular Newport on the Levee or find German food and beer at Hofbrauhaus, that area is only about a mile away.
On the Menu at Enson Harbor
You can check out the menu or make reservations online. As you browse the options, you'll see a range of Asian foods, including things from Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, China, and Korea.
Besides these, there's also a Cajun element to the menu, with seafood boil combos or the option to build your own.
I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie to start with. I don’t normally order sweet drinks, but it sounded perfect on the warm late spring day.
You can also get boba or green tea here.
The drinks menu is quite extensive, including signature cocktails and a wide array of wines, liquors and beers.
For an appetizer, we had the yellowtail jalapeño. It was mildly spicy, and absolutely delicious.
For our entrées, we enjoyed the red curry chicken soup dumplings with ramen and General Tso’s chicken with fried rice. They were wonderful!
The service here was also very good, and the food came out quickly! I’d definitely come back the next time I'm visiting northern Kentucky.
