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.

    Our annual Christmas dinner to Rubys was a great success as always. Truly a great night. The ambiance of the restaurant pairs so well with the holidays. Tony was our waiter as he has been for the last decade plus and does such a perfect job. Best waiter in town!!! Lupe his assistant was also great. Started out with oysters and two sushi rolls. All excellent. The oysters were really outstanding. For steaks Tony convinced me to try the Wagyu Ribeye gap. It’s not cheap, but it was one of the best steaks I have EVER had. Such an amazing flavor profile and great crust. Although it could have been a little more done to a true Med Rare. It was a great steak!!! Everyone’s else’s steak was made to perfection as we expect from Rubys. Finished with a slice of buttered pie. An outstanding meal and great Christmas tradition!!!

    Service and food were excellent. Took my family here for Christmas since my wife and i had a great experience our previous visit. I left my wallet there a couple of months ago and they kindly called me right away. So, we came back for the repeat visit. I had the cioppino. Fabulous!

    As always, Somm Wine Bar and Kitchen hits the mark. We took friends from our “East End” neighborhood just outside of downtown and what a “win”. Such an easy route, there in minutes, avoiding delays of other more complicated rates, especially now. Somm is top notch. I’m betting you’ll be excited about this one. We loved everything about our evening.

    This is a great restaurant. We had great food. The only weird thing was only people sitting at the bar could order a tall pilsner of beer. If you were sitting at the table you could only get a "baby" one or a fish bowl. How odd!
