   We had high hopes for our daughters birthday celebration brunch. Although too hot to seat outside we had a nice location inside. Service was good, food was ok, little pricey for a glorified breakfast. Asked for a yes w food, was told not hot tea available ? Really. Portion size was just ok like I said little overpriced for breakfast. Told hostess celebrating a birthday but never was acknowledged so why ask. Hopefully caught them on an off day.

   Very nice atmosphere and fun destination. Food is good. I have had multiple times where I think the service is just a tad off. It’s never been bad, just not A+.

    The good- the location, ambiance and server. The bad- our drinks and food took forever. Steaks were ordered at medium rare and came out well done. Two were sent back. Those members of our party refused to eat a steak not cooked to their preference at the price point. The other kept hers because she was hungry. A drink was sent back because it tasted so awful. Turns out two different bartenders were mixing drinks and the second drink was made by someone different than the first drink (it was a cosmo both times.) The manager made up for it by taking the steaks off our bill. I would go back, but it might just be for drinks and the aesthetic. Not sure the food is worth the price. Our server was lovely- not her fault everything took so long or that the food was over cooked.

    Lizzy was an excellent waitress. However…. Salmon entree was very good. Salads were poor and small. Pasta entree was fair. Parking is a challenge. Overpriced for what you get.

    We must have gotten incredibly lucky because I think we had the best seat in the outside and the weather was beautiful with a wonderful breeze. Although they were out of both wines we wanted we found a nice bottle of pinot grigio . I had the salmon and my hubby had the pork and neither one disappointed. It was a magical evening...

    We had a wonderful dinner at The View at Shires Garden. The service was excellent and very attentive, and everything we ate was delicious. It is an elegant setting without being stuffy or pretentious. Unfortunatley the weather kept us off of the patio but the view is still open and wonderful.

    I realize that Making a request is just that… a request. But when a quiet little romantic table for two with a view is requested and you are tucked into a dark corner facing a wall next to a loud crowd, it was unfortunate and disappointing. The salmon was lovely but nothing special. The lemon drop martini was nice.

    Our server was great! The view and ambiance was spectacular! Our appetizer, the salmon spread, came out before our drinks. The pour on the drinks is extremely weak. My husband got Bullet on the rocks and it looked like a one oz pour in a shot glass. The glass was so small. The chicken was dry and his broccolini was very hard to cut. Not cooked enough. The pesto pasta was good. The cheesecake was as hard as a rock. What happened to good old fashioned slice of cheesecake. The dishes came out timed perfectly and the service was great. The service and the view make it 3 stars.

    The hostess was wonderful and accommodating, but the food was subpar. The crab cakes were fishy tasting and the burger was ok. The empanadas were good. The view from the outside patio is the best. A nice place to have a cocktail.

    The city view is the winner here. Service was great but food was just okay. We ordered fried green tomatoes appetizer. There were 3 good sized slices, but cut way to thick. You needed a steak knife to cut them. They were not warm. The burger and fries were as you would expect; nothing outstanding. Crab cakes were good. Broccolini as expected.

    Love this place! Service was slow - our server seemed overwhelmed and in a state of shell shock for some reason. I’ve had great service there before though so I think it was a one time issue.

    Fantastic experience! I was extremely impressed with the over-the-top service at The View at Shires’ Garden. Upon arrival I stepped up to the host stand and although no one was standing there at that moment (it was late night and past the peak dining hours) a gentleman spotted me immediately and checked me in. Very welcoming and friendly. He stepped away to locate a table outside as I had requested and in the meantime, no less than 3 servers and the bartender checked to see if I had been helped. I had the pasta primavera and a glass of wine and my server could not have been more helpful and friendly. The view, of course, was phenomenal. I will definitely be back and I recommended The View at Shires’ Garden to a couple of my friends and they dined there the following day.

    We ate outside on the patio deck which was great and the view is outstanding. There was a band playing and they were a little too loud but our seating was far enough away so it didn't bother us too much. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and the crab cakes for appetizers and they were flavorful. Our group ordered the sea scallops and salmon for the main courses and they were delicious. They were understaffed and the staff was doing the best they could to take care of everyone. FYI - they don't guarantee outdoor seating, even if you have a reservation. Also, if you park in their garage, you have to pay $15 for parking, even if you dine at the restaurant.

    The rooftop patio was pleasant and not very noisy. Service was excellent, as were the cocktails. The food was good, but not outstanding, and on the expensive side for what you got. We would go back for the ambiance on a special occasion.

    We found this restaurant things to OpenTable and went around 5 PM on a Sunday afternoon. Not very busy at that time. The food was great and the prices are reasonable. Our server Rob took great care of us and everyone was friendly and appeared to be happy in their work which is a big deal these days even for the customers.
