• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service • Cincinnati
Booked 22 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.

    Amazing experience. Our server Dustin was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. From drinks to apps to desserts. We couldn’t have asked for better food or service. The manager Ashley stopped by and checked in on us and was very friendly and sweet. It’s was a nice touch. We will definitely come back to this location again. So many good things to say about this dining experience. Book your reservation, you won’t be disappointed.

    We enjoyed a wonderful anniversary dinner at Via Vite. Our server, Katrina, ensured to make us feel special and did intentional things like bringing us prosecco to top off our evening. Managerial staff was visible and checked in with us, wishing a happy anniversary, and comped our dessert (ricotta donuts!). We enjoyed our drinks, appetizers, pastas, and desserts. Katrina created a great pace of coursing of all of our dishes and kept our table clear, making sure our conversations weren’t interrupted. Thank you again Via Vite for creating such a wonderful dining experience.

    My wife and I have never had better pasta than here at Sotto. We would for sure come back next time we are in Cincy. From the beef short rib pasta, goat cheese app, the the dessert it was beyond amazing. Must try if you can make it while visiting Cincy!

    We had a delightful, delicious and unhurried dinner this evening at Boca. This was important especially because family from LA was with us, and we were given the perfect balance of careful attention and space to enjoy our company

    We had dinner at The Davidson on the day they opened, and since we eat here often - and enjoy it each time. Their cocktails are beautiful and delicious. One of the things I like best is that it's possible to have a yummy full dinner meal, a sandwich, or appetizer. The salads are generous and fresh. The sandwiches are high quality. It's a fun place to eat, lots of people watching both inside the restaurant, and those walking to and from Fountain Square. The only negative is that the music is usually too loud but if you ask they will often graciously turn down the volume.
