About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the City Club Apartments, at 309 Vine Street; resurrected from the history that has stood here before our time, Shires' Rooftop is inspired by the first amusement resort in this part of the country, Shires' Garden. Though the original Shires' Gardens burned to the ground, "in a most picturesque fire," the legacy that was left behind is everlasting and an integral part of the Queen City's history. The creation of the Matinee Performance, the regal guests Shires' hosted, an unsolved murder and other noteworthy events that took place at the original Shires' Gardens, are an inspiration to our program that we look forward to sharing with you.

    We had Makayla for a server and she was amazing! Very attentive and made sure we were taking care of. She even suggested things that were popular and not so popular. Great overall first time experience

    The bestie and I had dinner here before our Candlelight concert and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The food was delicious! That is, hands down, the best salmon I've had in Cincinnati. The service was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful and a little eclectic. Could do without the TV, I feel like there's enough places where sports are in your face.

    The service was excellent, but the food was severely subpar, especially at the price point. We did their restaurant week offering and were able to try 6 dishes between the two of us. We independently felt like the food was akin to amped up nursing home meals. Lots of components and decently commendable technique, however ultimately came together in a disjointed fashion and felt dated. Essentially trying too hard to be fancy while not actually pushing the ball forward. If it were $20 dollar entrees, that’d be one thing. But $35+, that’s just unacceptable, especially in Cincy. Likes: Our favorite thing was their take on croutons for the Caesar salad, and my orange soda/mocktail beverage was great. The service was very good; they mixed up one of our entrees(not a big deal for us) and they went above and beyond handling it. Also, we loved our server; she was super sweet. Left a big tip for her specifically.

    My wife and I went for the restaurant week menu. We made a reservation but it did not appear that one was needed. We were seated right away. We each started with the featured Maker’s Mark cocktail. It was a little on the sweet side but very good for a spring evening. From the menu, my wife started with the crab cake. Very good with a spicy cherry pepper relish. I had the beef tartar. It was good but would have been aided by some additional accompaniments. The server then brought our entrees without brining our second courses. He asked what we’d like to do. We decided to have the entrees (lamb shank for her and salmon for me) at that time. Both were well prepared and delicious. We followed that with our second courses (watermelon gazpacho for her and Caesar salad from me). They were tasty and worked well as pallet cleansers to end the meal. No complaints based on the incorrect serving order. Beautiful space. We will go back on a warmer evening and dine outside.

    Brunch on the rooftop patio overlooking the city was fantastic! To the chef who created the brunch menu ~ Chef’s Kiss!! So many mouth watering choices it was hard to choose. Tried the crab cake eggs Benedict and the short rib hash, both were incredible! Service was great. Will definitely go back next time in Cincy.
