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.

    Great experience as always. Sarah was extremely cordial and engaging! Cole did a great job serving our table and had a great amount of knowledge of Italian wines and helped us pair a Super Tuscan with our various courses! The food is always so great and was especially great last night!

    We dined here New Year’s Day for dinner. It’s beautiful and comfortable. We ordered the meatball appetizer, which was delicious but we felt it was served a tad on the cool side. The entrée of salmon was perhaps a tad overcooked but the crusted duck was perfection. The caramel cider cheesecake dessert is very rich. We had nightcaps at the bar and enjoyed the seasonal dark Manhattan made with a dark stout beer reduction, very warming on a cold winter evening. Friendly and prompt service from the staff.

    Always a fun experience. We got lucky with the weather, but the new heaters they installed this year and the table and chairs below make it warmer. Bring a game have some drinks!
