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.

    REALLY like any of the Ruby’s restaurants around Cincinnati to celebrate special occasions. This was our first time at the new location on 5th & Vine. All the 1920’s ambiance you expect from one of his locations and the excellent food & service made for a great experience. Our one complaint was that it was very noisy - much more so than the other locations. We sat in the big open room but will look into how to book a table in one of the smaller rooms like The Gatsby as it might be quieter in there. Otherwise, GREAT!

    I always look forward to dining at Boca, the food is always delicious and the service is seamless. If you're an oyster fan you should definitely try theirs-you won't find any better. I'm a real fan of their chicken dish -with risotto and carrot. I keep coming back to ordering it because it's perfect! If you're uncertain what wine to choose with your dinner-let the staff help with a good pairing-I enjoyed what our server suggested and it's a good way to try something new. Boca is a real gem of a restaurant and Cincinnati is lucky to have it.

    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!
