Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the Parisian on Vine building (previously City Club) , 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.
Chic rooftop restaurant dishing up local provisions, plus craft cocktails, beer & Sunday brunch.

The overall experience was great. The food was awesome. However, there were some things that could have pushed this to a 5star experience for the price.
The appetizer was the sirloin flat bread, flavor was outstanding, but there was hardly any sirloin for the $20 it cost, mostly just the greenery and too much Chipotle aioli.
The actual meals, the 3 of all ordered a filet, 1 with Oscar and medium rare, the other 2 medium and came how it is prepared per the menu. The medium steaks were prepared beautifully, the medium rare was just a bit overdone, but the flavor, once again, was amazing, and they didnt skimp on the Oscar!
Also, the meals didnt come with a simple side salad or a bread, which seemed like it should for the price, so it was broccolini or a different side. Their salads weren’t in a “side ” size. Seems for such a price they could have a house or Ceasar salad option to give with the meal.
We got the potatoes and macaroni and cheese for sides which were delicious too.
Overall it was a great experience and we will be back!

The food was exquisite, and I have never before tried a crab cake eggs Benedict. The view, situated along the river between the two stadiums, was worth the nearby public parking fee of $10, but the building only offer valet parking. The hotel lobby was beautiful! Although there were only three other tables and two servers, I had to request my check even after giving all signals of being done with my meal.

Overall it was pretty good, not great. The service was ok – It would neither prevent me from coming back nor be a driver for me to return. 2/3 drinks were good (Spritzer & Strawberry Fields). The Beef Wellington Bites were very good. The crab cake was ok – just didn’t have that crispy outside that you typically get when you pan fry. The Shrimp & Scallops was perfect. The Chicken Roulade was ok, but I wouldn’t order it again – I would try something different. The rooftop setting was perfect.

Unfortunately, our experience last Friday was not the greatest.
Upon arrival, the customer service was lovely. We had a reservation and requested to sit outside, but our table wasn’t quite ready. We were told we could sit at the bar and grab a drink. The bartender was very friendly, and after asking about their tequila selection, my boyfriend ordered two cocktails with a specific tequila.
When the drinks arrived, our table was ready. We signed the receipt quickly on the way out, but I later noticed the receipt listed a different tequila than the one we ordered. I assumed it was just a ringing error. However, after tasting the cocktail, it was clear that it wasn’t the tequila we requested—it tasted awful. To their credit, the staff was pleasant and had the drinks remade, but the replacements were mixed in a dirty shaker, leaving a strong jalapeño flavor from a previous drink. Very disappointing. At that point, we decided to switch to wine, since it’s poured straight from the bottle without issue.
For dinner, we ordered the Chef’s Feast for Two ($120), which included salmon, shrimp, chicken, filet medallions, a NY strip, two salads, and two sides. We ordered the meat medium, but as you can see from the photos, it was nowhere near medium. When I asked, the waiter insisted that it was their version of medium, which was frustrating because it clearly wasn’t.
The sides were also underwhelming—the mac and cheese looked nice but had no flavor, the fingerling potatoes weren’t enjoyable, and even the Caesar salad was disappointing.
Overall, this was a letdown. My suggestion: if you come here for the Friday night fireworks and the rooftop view, just order a glass of wine or a neat drink. The atmosphere is great, but I can’t recommend the food or cocktails. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to Shires Rooftop Bar.

Came here based off of some good reviews and for the view. The service was beyond slow. It took 3 hours to have dinner, our waitress was concerned with larger parties and completely neglected our two top. The food was good, but not worth the price. It was a horrible value. The spinach dip was strange, like tex-mex with cumin in it. The beef was overcooked, but the Mac n cheese was alright. I could have gone to a dozen other upscale places such as Jeff Ruby’s, spent the same amount of money and been much happier. The place is neat, but the old creaky chairs are awkward, the massive graveyard of dirty glasses was tacky, the music playing didn’t fit at all and each table had an unlit tea candle for some reason. The acoustics are terrible and it’s challenging to have a conversation. There is no dress code so the atmosphere was strange – some people were in nice dresses and ties and slacks while others were in cut off shorts. Based off this visit I will not return. If you’re going for a drink and want to see the view that’s fine, but beyond that don’t waste your time or money.

Cool retro spot. Service was excellent. The server spoke to us in a normal conversational tone, which made us feel welcome. Great food and apps. Recommend the “Mango Tango” cocktail, touch of spice and nummy.

Great experience. This restaurant went through some rough times but we had an excellent experience tonight. They have a new exec chef and I heard he was a saucier with Jean Robert so we were excited to try it again. There were 10 of us for my parents’ anniversary. My sister in law has celiac disease and my sister can’t do dairy or soy. Our server Brooke was absolutely great with the allergies and so was the kitchen staff. I had scallops and polenta and it was amazing. Most of their others ordered steak or salmon. It was all good. We also loved the spinach dip and I think a crowd favorite was the beef Wellington bites. It was all so good! Will be back for sure.

Went in a Wednesday recently and absolutely loved it. Wanted to have a nice dinner with the FIL. Our server knew it was our birthday and really made it a special occasion. The service time was I expected for better dining….not rushed! The drinks were great. The dinner was so good. The dessert (we shared) was amazing.
Thank you for a cozy place that is still nice. It was better dining but comfortable atmosphere. It really was a great night. Thank you!

Great views, okay food, terrible cocktails. Bartender doesn’t have a clue how to make a simple old fashion. The garden is shaded which is nice.
