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.

    The Prime Cincinnati experience is always a good one. The filets were prepared perfectly. The sides were delicious. Service was top notch. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming. If I had to say anything I didn’t like, it would be the paper straws, but that really didn’t matter in the big picture. Cannot wait to go back again soon!

    I booked your restaurant for Christmas Eve. We had never been and I was really excited for a downtown view and good food. The service was slow. And the food, was good but not great. I think this seems like a good place for drinks and appetizers. We had the mussels, which were good. The chorizo is a bit much. We had the shrimp and scallops. The scallops were cooked perfectly. But, again with the chorizo which was overpowering. We also had the pork chops, very good but a large portion. My son had the salmon and it was good, probably the favorite meal out of the three. This is a lovely atmosphere and staff is friendly.

    Another fabulous meal at Jeff Ruby's. We always go for the holiday lunch and this year was as wonderful as ever. The decor, the food, and the service make it a nice way to enjoy the holidays! Umit and Alex were spot on with the service.
