Shires' Rooftop

Booked a table for drinks and dinner to celebrate my aunt and her friend Lucy for cycling from Cleveland to Cincinnati! Super cool cocktail menu! Views were pretty of the city and the bridge! Was getting windy and stormy so we chose to sit inside. We started with the charcuterie board ( not pictured) and it was good but not sure it was worth the price. Moving onto dinner, everyone loved their entrees! I myself had the burger and the fries. I usually don’t crave burgers but it looked so yummy on the menu and I was not disappointed! Staff was nice but felt like they could’ve been a little more attentive to the table with water levels and timing out when they took our orders, other then that a lovely evening!

Beautiful views of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky from this rooftop restaurant and bar. Price affordably. Meter parking or parking garage is available. Open floor plan, but with cozy intimate seating areas. Perfectly seasoned food. Rooftop seating is available during colder months in privacy bubbles with heat. Definitely will recommend!!

I did not eat here, but I came in after a bengals game and had a drink before calling a Lyft back to the burbs. The hostess and bartender were very nice. I ordered a rhinegeist Antelope amber lager and then walked outside to the patio which I had all to myself (it was 50 degrees and they had just opened). Really great views of the city and the stadiums and bridges. Also the bathrooms were well designed and comfortable. They have a separate elevator to go up to the shires from the lobby. I cannot give any critique on the food, but I am coming back to try that later.

I would consider this spot a hidden gem in Cincinnati. You wouldn't know it was there (no signage but a small sticker on the door of the apartments/condos). But honestly, it makes it that much cooler. The views were amazing, and we had the best seat in the house. This is more of an upscale restaurant with a semi casual dress code. Kind of the same vibe as Hotel Covington if you've ever been. We had the best service by Rob, and I would actually come back just to have him again 😆. He was that great! He made us feel so welcome, and we never felt rushed. Now for the food.... the fried green tomatoes...🤤 holy. moly. The burrata was also very good. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their meal. I got the salmon which was killer, my husband got the halibut which was dynamite! My best friend and her hubby shared the short rib which they also said was very good. We split the Nutella filled fried doughnuts which was also a great choice. Overall we had THE BEST TIME. Hands down would come here again. Not just for the rooftop, the service, and the food but for the experience!

The view was amazing and the food was delicious! We were pleasantly surprised by the beetroot salad and the vanilla bourbon mashed sweet potato. The salmon was our favorite main course. Although it was raining, we still managed to take a few photos of the downtown Cincy lights. Our server was very attentive and provided great suggestions.

Went here to share a celebratory dinner with my new husband and was more than delighted. Staff were so kind, food was delicious, and the view lived up to its name. Our waiter, Dominick, was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. We shared a few glasses of poema cava and a couple of cocktails; over the moon and the throne of the empress. All were lovely! We also had a charcuterie board for our table. While we weren’t as into the olives or blue cheese, everything else was very tasty, especially the smoked cheddar and honeycomb. For mains, I had the pan roasted chicken which was simply perfection! It was incredibly tender and so juicy. My husband had the cavatelli pasta, which he says was very mushroomy, creamy, and tasty. He added chicken to his dish, which he agrees that was especially good with the chargrilled taste. Since we were celebrating, we also had desserts to finish, which the kitchen added little congratulatory chocolates to - what an excellent way to end a fabulous meal! The creme brûlée was very creamy, and the custard was blooming with a delightful vanilla. The Queen City Crown was everything I have ever wanted a chocolate dessert to be. We could not be more pleased! If you have the chance to go, don’t miss the opportunity.

The staff who helped us was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the food. She was very fast, and helpful. She explained all the Chef's special, which we ended up ordering. We spent 2 hours here. Apparently they have a new head chef - and according our friends, the food at this time was very delish - agreed!! It's located on 10th floor, and great to see the sunset (when the sky is clear).

This restaurant is GREAT! Took my daughter there with our family for graduation over the weekend and our server Rob was fantastic. He went above and beyond to create a real experience for us and we loved it. The food was great as well, and the burger was hands down the best. We all got different dishes from the scallops to the salmon to the salads, but the burger was probably the best burger I've had, so much so that I wanted to return the next day. Don't miss this experience. The only downside is no valet parking and street parking was the pits...there were several large events over the weekend and all garages and lots were full. Hopefully parking will be easier the next time I visit.

While visiting Cincinnati this restaurant was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. This was by far our favorite place and experience. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left was delightful. The Maitre D was super personal and genuinely wanted us, and everyone to have a great experience. He chatted with us several times during our stay and was enjoyable. Our waitress Jain was a gem. She is warm and fun. She checked on us, but not too much. (We hate when people interrupt our conversation.) We eventually moved over by the fireplace and she took our drinks over there and continued to serve us there. We felt like old friends and asked for a selfie with her before we left. All the food was good but that banana empanada changed my life! We will definitely visit The Shires’ again. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
