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.

My only disappointment was the inability to get a hold of someone via phone, instagram or text prior to my visit with questions I had in regards to my reservation. They finally responded to y text however the day after my visit. Otherwise, the greenhouse experience was excellent!

This was no doubt, the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. The steak was hot the entire time without overcooking it (was cooked perfect) and the sides were so delicious.

This place has become our favorite place for celebrating anything. Food is delicious and service is always great. Brewery beer on point. My husband loves the salad selection and I think the calamari is the best. Parking is also convenient since it's under the restaurant.

Everything good except no valet. My husband had to drive to Fountain Sq garage after dropping me off - I had recent surgery and was on a walker.
