Booked 27 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.

Shauna (spelling?) was a fantastic server. She walked us through the entire menu and made sure all of our items came out staggered. The bartender was a bit slow but this comes with the newness of the restaurant still. The mocktail was great as well as their herbal hot tea selection. My absolute fave part of the meal was the dumplings/pierogis with apple butter. But everything we got was incredible. Including the salmon Wellington. WOW.
