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.

    Once again, we really enjoyed our dinner at Sotto. One of the very best in Cincinnati. We usually go there and sit at the bar, but this time we were able to secure a table reservation. It was a little on the loud side, so a bit difficult to hear. And the font on the menu is hard to read in the darker atmosphere. We ordered the chicken liver… yummy, with a lot of garlic. The short rib pasta was terrific and tasty. And we ordered the steak for the table. That was amazing and well worth the price. The potato side dish was a little on the salty side, but the asparagus was delicious. We will go back!

    My husband and I had a wonderful time at BOCA and we were there celebrating his birthday. This was our first time eating at the restaurant and we really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere. The Pommes Soufflés "1949", The Charred Leeks, Lumache con Salsiccia and Mafaldine con Bolognese were all super delicious! When it came to dessert, they have a die for gem called - Pomme d'Amour. The craftsmanship of the food that is created in this restaurant is unbelievable and you can see the details in how it is presented. The staff is very attentive, and they make you feel like you are the only customer in the restaurant. We highly recommend BOCA if you want a wonderful dining experience. Lori and Charlie Peterson

    Prime never fails to deliver. Great service, respectful of our time, and fabulous food. We were there on a show night and both got the filet trio which was scrumptious. Tried the charcuterie board for a starter which is a new item and it was really quite tasty. The mocha cheesecake was a nice finish to the meal. Kevin was our waiter and he was fabulous.

    The grazing board was divine. Really good pimento cheese spread and fresh meats. The salad is enormous so plan accordingly. The Amish chicken was very good. Broccolini was scrumptious. Mashed potatoes were full of flavor. Cocktail menu could use some non whisky options. My husband had an old fashioned which he enjoyed but felt it was a bit overpriced. Our service was great!

    Delicious and great atmosphere. Came here on a whim and enjoyed everything. I had the spinach & artichoke dip which was delicious, and the beignets were better than I expected! Just came in overnight and would absolutely go again next time I’m in town.
