About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Four of us went on a Sunday (11:30) for late breakfast after the music festival. Good service, good food, great view. We sat inside because it was too hot outside but it was quiet with good ambience inside. Recommend outside if cooler day. Recommend making reservation because I’m not sure when the “busy time” starts. May be a little pricey for some but it was fairly big portion (especially for breakfast food). Should definitely be on your list of of places to checkout in summer and early fall.

    Jess took great care of us and brought us a complimentary toast since we were celebrating our anniversary, which was much appreciated. The restaurant was packed but our food came out on time and perfectly prepared!

    Had an 8:30 reservation and we showed up at 8 with the intention of having a drink at the bar. They were able to seat us early and that caused a bit of confusion either way our server so it was a slow start. Food and ambiance were excellent! We sat inside and the noise level was perfect. The wine selection turn and cocktails were great! Rose, Italian red and the island rum cocktail were our choices. Filet and crab cake were fantastic we will be back soon!

    We love going to this (secret) place of great food & such a great view. This time it seemed everyone got there at the same time. Our waitress was so kind but away a lot. Kitchen was backed up due to one Shot crowd. But at the end it was longer than usual but drinks were delicious & food didn’t disappoint.

    We had been in for dinner a week before and everything was great! This time, not so much. The server seemed completely lost. Unable to answer questions about the menu and extremely inattentive. After we got our drinks, we waited another 20 minutes for her to take our order, and only when we waved to her. Food took forever, which she blamed on the kitchen, but folks around us who came in after us received their food in a timely manner (different server). Had to waive her over for water, for condiments that she forgot to bring, for the check and again for her to take payment. It was BAD. What should have been an hour meal took two hours. Don’t know her name, but her hair was blond on one side and brunette on the other.

    We originally sat indoors and it was really loud so moved outside. That was much nicer. Our server was fantastic. She took our photos on the rooftop and was accommodating. The beef Wellington bites were excellent. However our main entrees (salmon Oscar and shrimp and scallops) were very salty. This was discouraging for the cost. I’d go back to just enjoy a few apps and summer sangria on the roof but I’d def ask them to cut back on the salt.
