Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the Parisian on Vine building (previously City Club) , 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.

Went in solo as my first time dining here and I have to say, I can understand why this place is rated so highly! The decor and the lighting of the place is amazing. The staff are very attentive and the food is outstanding! Had the Homemade Ricotta, Arancini and Spicy Vodka and all of them were very delicious. I will definitely be here again.
