Shires' Rooftop

Nice restaurant "hidden" away on the 10th floor. It has great views of the Ohio river and Roebling bridge. The atmosphere inside has an 'old club' feel. While others mentioned service as a stumbling block, our service was very good- attentive and timely. The pork chop was very flavorful as were the fingerling potatoes. We split the yummy hazelnut filled beignets for dessert.

We rented a rooftop greenhouse for my son's birthday- but with the wind advisory, we had to stay inside. The decor was cute and cozy. Our service was decent and the food was really good! Seemed to be pretty expensive for what it was, though. We loved the fries, salmon, and beignets the most!! Would love to come back and have a drink on the roof when there's better weather. A gem worth checking out for sure!

The decor and view make this a hidden gem. I skipped the balcony. It was just too hot for me!There are cozy places to sit with a group of friends. Someone was hosting a 40th birthday party in a section with another bar. The drink that i had and the service was outstanding!The crab cake tastes a bit off for some reason. I can't put my finger on that after taste. While it didn't taste like much filler, I would skip it next time. The artichoke spread was a nice shareable! Great crust!The braised short rips were very tender! Served with root veggies, you really needed a starch and fewer root veggies.Overall...I would definitely go back, especially before an event at Paycor!

Ambiance here was great! We had a greenhouse on the rooftop for our party of 8. Unfortunately they are not see through so you do not get a view from the rooftop. I get that large parties are a lot, but there were a couple mishaps with our experience. My burger and my boyfriend's burger were swapped, he removed all of the toppings and his came with toppings. Bacon on his burger was missing. Spinach artichoke appetizer never came out. Waitress offered me a purse hanger and forgot to come back with it. At the end of the night, they were unable to split the check based on what each person had ordered, so we all had to figure out how much each person owed and venmo one person. It was slightly hectic but overall we had a nice experience. I will say the burger was nothing special, I'd say go for something a little nicer if you come here. The sway cocktail was incredible!

Excellent dining evening while visiting downtown Cincinnati! Booked an early dinner @6PM. We were able to walk to the restaurant (2 blocks) from the Hilton Netherland hotel. Great service, pretty view, beautiful historic building! Clean restrooms, but there's a broken down cabinet in one of the restrooms that needs to go LOL. All of the food was good - shrimp with scallions & sweet chili sauce appetizer and a pear goat cheese salad. Our whole table of 6 were happy and well fed before heading to a concert @Riverbend.

I was visiting Cincinnati for a conference and stopped in here for the view and a good dinner. When I first walked in the hostess was amazing so if I could give her 5 stars I would. I was set down promptly and my server came over and asked me what I wanted to drink, and then she barely came back to the table. I had to stop her to do appetizer and then she didn't come back to the table, but proceeded to go to the table next to me and then I had to track her down to come back to actually take my order. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and I just ordered a Caesar salad. The fried green tomatoes were absolutely disgusting. It had grapes on the fried green tomatoes, which I didn't understand. The salad was decent. The views were great, but I wouldn't return. 3 stars are for the hostess and the view.

Disclaimer: My phone didn't eat first this time--I was too eager and devoured my meal right away!I started with the fried green tomatoes, which were fantastic. For the main course, I ordered the filet, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything came out exactly as ordered, including the side of mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. The filet was served with asparagus, all perfectly prepared. The portion sizes of the sides were generous, so I'd recommend sharing them; I couldn't finish them on my own.The atmosphere was inviting and fun, with the option to hang out outside in comfy seating, perfect for enjoying an appetizer or meal while taking in the view.While the prices were definitely on the higher side, I felt they were fair given the quality of the food and the overall experience.

Came here on NYE and rented out of the igloo with a group of 10. Obviously serving that many people is not east feat, so shout out to Izzy for being a rockstar! It wasn't 100% perfect, but I can't fault her for it.It was cute and cozy, with pillow-lined seats in a 80% circle with a table in the middle. It came with a blanket and music to connect to. It was very toasty inside compared to what I'd been anticipating. It has a great view of the City from outside of it in the Central Business District (CBD). Once it hit midnight we could see faint fireworks shooting up around the City. We were also provided champagne (a surprise I didn't expect). I loved the old fashioned as well, which was reasonably priced. We were also provided a limited al a carte menu to order from. There was some miscommunication when other servers would come and we thought they took our orders, but then drinks never arrived. Our igloo also wasn't ready on time for our reservation, and then the first round of drinks took nearly 40 minutes, so it was almost 11 -- 1 hour into our reservation with 1 hour to go. With a $500 minimum tab (between us all) we were worried we weren't going to be able to fulfill it at that rate, but after that service picked up. Again, NYE and large group I understand it's not going to be perfect and we still had a great time.

We stopped in on a trip visiting our friend in Cincinnati with a group of 5 for brunch! We came in and the place was empty... but I can't seem to understand why, because the view is beautiful, sat atop a 10th floor of hotel, with both outdoor and indoor spaces. The decor was so cute and the ambiance was great! We were greeted warmly and had great service by the host and waitress.I got the breakfast plate, and the crispy potatoes really stood out because they're easy to mess up. They were well seasoned and crispy and overall my favorite part, and everything was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. Overall, we loved our time here, and I hope this review can bring in more people, because they deserve to have more people at 1 pm for brunch! Highly recommend!

Incredible views of the beautiful Ohio River. Very cool igloos and greenhouses situated on the veranda overlooking the river. Very romantic. Service and food were excellent. Cool vibe setting indoors with lots of lounge seating.
