CINCINNATI — A new restaurant serving British-Indian cuisine is set to open its doors in downtown Cincinnati's Fountain District on Friday.
Crown Restaurant Group (CRG) and 3CDC announced Tuesday that Marigold will officially open Friday, Feb. 21. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Foundry development on Fifth Street.
CRG said Marigold has "an irresistible blend of British elegance, bold Indian flavors and an atmosphere dripping in sultry sophistication."
The restaurant's menu, which will be seasonally driven and locally sourced, blends traditional English fare with Indian flavors, CRG said. Guests can expect curries, charred meats, vegetable-forward plates and more from Chef Megan Yung. Yung, a Tri-State native, trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London before working at multiple restaurants in Chicago.
"At Marigold, we're bringing something new to the Cincinnati dining scene — dishes that are soulful, layered and inspired by the places that have shaped me as a chef," Yung said.
CRG is also partnering with Cincinnati Distilling for the restaurant's beverage program. Within the partnership, Cincinnati Distilling has produced a bespoke gin that will debut at the opening of the restaurant and be featured in one of its signature cocktails. Marigold will also have a full cocktail menu, featuring a hot toddy service and wine pairings.
Owner and chef Anthony Sitek said CRG has pushed itself with each of its concepts, and Marigold is another step in that journey.
"It's a place where flavors, textures and experiences collide in the best way possible," Sitek said.
Joe Rudemiller, VP of marketing and communications for 3CDC, said Marigold is a perfect addition to the Fountain District.
"The Siteks' thoughtfulness and attention to detail creates an ambiance in each of its concepts that heightens the dining experience, and Marigold will add to that tradition of carefully created spaces," Rudemiller previously said.
Other restaurants and bars at the Fountain District's Foundry include Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, The Davidson, Vintage on Race and more.
CRG also runs several other restaurants in Cincinnati, including Losanti and Five on Vine in Over-the-Rhine and Rosie's Italian and Crown Cantina in downtown Cincinnati.
