Be sure to make reservations as they pack the small bar/dining room.
The service at bar was great . The Brisket sandwich was some of the best ever and I eat a lot of Q.  
Place is ran by 2 guys, less than 30, and they master what they want to know.

Where to begin?  Whether you're in your room or in the restaurant you have a SPECTACULAR view of Lake Superior.  Our room was  very clean and freshly updated.  Oddly there was no clock in the room, but that's probably a testament to the laid-back atmosphere of the area.

As far as the restaurant goes, it's fantastic.  They have the largest and best beer list of any place in the U.P. - 5 pages!  There was also a large selection of high-end spirits, but that's not really my thing.  The food was great - we stuck to smoked food since they had their own smokehouse, and it was awesome.  They said they use oak, so it's definitely "in your face".

If you're anywhere near the Keweenaw you definitely need to stop at Fitzgerald's, if not spend the night at the inn!

Having eaten at various places in the UP (Houghton, Marquette Iron Mountain), this was the best overall restaurant. I've been to brew pubs (The Library and Vierling) where the beer was good and the food was bad; or restaurants with a great food menu and limited beer options, but Fitzgerald's had the best everything.  

Not only was their beer list over 4 pages, but they serve lots of local brews (Brickside & Shorts) and the staff was extremely knowledgeable. Fitz doesn't hold back with the food menu either. The pork belly french toast screams "creativity" and proves they're not your typical restaurant in a hotel. The half pound burger with bacon and homemade peanut butter was delicious, but definitely overcooked. Wife got the pecan salad, but was missing the pecans because the kitchen ran out. Everyone else at the table got the BBQ and loved every last bite.

Even though it's about an hour ride from our house up there, I'd make the drive every time I go to the UP.
