• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service • Cincinnati
Booked 8 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.

    We went to 19311 for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was an excellent experience. The food was amazing in its variety and flavor, the room is a special place and will make a great memory. Our young server was also a great representative of your restaurant and would enjoy his service again.

    The food was very good. We liked all of the dishes we ordered. The honey hazel nut goat cheese grilled bread and prosciutto arugula salad were great starters. All of the pasta is done well. I had the chicken thigh special for second course and it was fantastic. We each ordered dessert but they were huge. They tasted great but we had to bring some home.

    Our first visit to Shire’s did not disappoint! Beautiful restaurant with great views! Katrina took very good care of our party of six. Chef does an excellent job creating unique flavor profiles. Tried the fried green tomato, beef Wellington and mussels appetizers. All were perfectly prepared and delicious! Our entrees included the pork chop, salmon, shrimp & scallops, and chicken roulade. Again all dishes were delicious!! The only negative was the chicken was a little dry and could have used a sauce to help with that; but the pea risotto that accompanied it was very tasty. The pear mocktail was lovely too!! Perfect place for special occasion dinner!!!
