Booked 25 times today

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.

This was my first time at Jeff Ruby’s and I would definitely return again. My friend and I went for her birthday and they had a special menu with a birthday message for her. Our server, Michael G, was very informative and witty. Every staff member we interacted with was chatty and welcoming and the food of course was amazing. We will definitely be back soon!

Our first time here and definitely worth the trip from Fairfield. Server Holly was great, we followed her recommendations on wine and food and she was spot on. Especially loved the mushroom risotto. The jazz combo was perfect, added a great vibe without disrupting table conversation. Can't wait to go back.

Delightful dinner. Good wine. Branzino was amazing and the lamb kabobs were great. Their pistachio baklava is delicious and not as sweet as most baklava. We will definitely be returning.
