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.

An evening at Prim isn’t just a reservation, it’s a moment. Reservations are limited; walk-ins are welcome Tuesday through Sunday. Come for Vinyl Thursdays. Smooth jazz on weekend early evenings. And after that? "You never know what, and you never know when." One thing is certain—you'll be entertained.Although some of the city's best restaurants are just steps from our door, we are not a restaurant and do not pretend to be one. While we do offer limited light bites, the focus here is imbibes, atmosphere, intention, and a night worth showing up for.Prim is a 21+ experience, and we ask that guests dress accordingly. Athletic wear, sandals, shorts, tank tops, and baseball caps don't meet the tone of the room. We curate the room as carefully as the cocktails, every detail matters, including you. We can't wait to host you!

    This week I had a friend in town. On Monday I took her to another nearby restaurant and it was amazing as always. I had never been to The Davidson before Tuesday night and had no clue what to expect. Let me say if you haven’t been just go, you will not be disappointed. From the moment you walk in until the end is just a wonderful experience. The staff is top-notch, and being a foodie we dine out a lot. We also each always order different things so we can try more than one dish. The four of us started with Bread & 3 Butters, Arancini, and we’re going to get the yellowtail tuna one of my favorites, but the waiter suggested the Hamachi and wow is all I can say is wow! Then we moved onto salads. We got two salads two of us split the Chopped Italian, and the other two of us split the Roasted Vegetable Salad.  both we wonderful we were split in our opinion on the salads  but we all agreed if we come back we would do the same thing cause they were both so good. Regretfully, we did not try any of the pastas, next time. We went straight onto the entrées. I ordered the Scallops Grenobloise, (my favorite food), one of us got the Halibut, one of us got the Char-grilled Chicken. When I tell you, those are the best scallops I have ever ate in my life. I am not even joking. They were so good and there was like six or seven of them. The halibut, OMG it was cooked to perfection. The char-grilled chicken was charred, but still very juicy and flavorful, and not dried out at all, and lastly, the bone in pork chop was out of this world. We then moved on to dessert drinks I love espresso martinis so I ordered one of those and it was just so good perfectly balanced. With an ask about the desserts and they only have two.The Pot De Créme and Panna Cotta. Let me start by saying they are very good. However, both desserts were very similar in texture and not worth the calories! Needless to say, we will be back! This is by far one of the best restaurants in Cincinnati, it’s a must
