"The overall experience was great. The food was awesome. However, there were some things that could have pushed this to a 5star experience for the price. The appetizer was the sirloin flat bread, flavor was outstanding, but there was hardly any sirloin for the $20 it cost, mostly just the greenery and too much Chipotle aioli. The actual meals, the 3 of all ordered a filet, 1 with Oscar and medium rare, the other 2 medium and came how it is prepared per the menu. The medium steaks were prepared beautifully, the medium rare was just a bit overdone, but the flavor, once again, was amazing, and they didnt skimp on the Oscar! Also, the meals didnt come with a simple side salad or a bread, which seemed like it should for the price, so it was broccolini or a different side. Their salads weren't in a "side " size. Seems for such a price they could have a house or Ceasar salad option to give with the meal. We got the potatoes and macaroni and cheese for sides which were delicious too. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back!"

"The food was exquisite, and I have never before tried a crab cake eggs Benedict. The view, situated along the river between the two stadiums, was worth the nearby public parking fee of $10, but the building only offer valet parking. The hotel lobby was beautiful! Although there were only three other tables and two servers, I had to request my check even after giving all signals of being done with my meal."

"Overall it was pretty good, not great. The service was ok - It would neither prevent me from coming back nor be a driver for me to return. 2/3 drinks were good (Spritzer & Strawberry Fields). The Beef Wellington Bites were very good. The crab cake was ok - just didn't have that crispy outside that you typically get when you pan fry. The Shrimp & Scallops was perfect. The Chicken Roulade was ok, but I wouldn't order it again - I would try something different. The rooftop setting was perfect."

"Went in a Wednesday recently and absolutely loved it. Wanted to have a nice dinner with the FIL. Our server knew it was our birthday and really made it a special occasion. The service time was I expected for better dining....not rushed! The drinks were great. The dinner was so good. The dessert (we shared) was amazing. Thank you for a cozy place that is still nice. It was better dining but comfortable atmosphere. It really was a great night. Thank you!"

"Unfortunately, our experience last Friday was not the greatest. Upon arrival, the customer service was lovely. We had a reservation and requested to sit outside, but our table wasn’t quite ready. We were told we could sit at the bar and grab a drink. The bartender was very friendly, and after asking about their tequila selection, my boyfriend ordered two cocktails with a specific tequila. When the drinks arrived, our table was ready. We signed the receipt quickly on the way out, but I later noticed the receipt listed a different tequila than the one we ordered. I assumed it was just a ringing error. However, after tasting the cocktail, it was clear that it wasn’t the tequila we requested—it tasted awful. To their credit, the staff was pleasant and had the drinks remade, but the replacements were mixed in a dirty shaker, leaving a strong jalapeño flavor from a previous drink. Very disappointing. At that point, we decided to switch to wine, since it’s poured straight from the bottle without issue. For dinner, we ordered the Chef’s Feast for Two ($120), which included salmon, shrimp, chicken, filet medallions, a NY strip, two salads, and two sides. We ordered the meat medium, but as you can see from the photos, it was nowhere near medium. When I asked, the waiter insisted that it was their version of medium, which was frustrating because it clearly wasn’t. The sides were also underwhelming—the mac and cheese looked nice but had no flavor, the fingerling potatoes weren’t enjoyable, and even the Caesar salad was disappointing. Overall, this was a letdown. My suggestion: if you come here for the Friday night fireworks and the rooftop view, just order a glass of wine or a neat drink. The atmosphere is great, but I can’t recommend the food or cocktails. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to Shires Rooftop Bar."
