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. Â
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. Â They have the largest and best beer list of any place in the U.P. - 5 pages! Â There was also a large selection of high-end spirits, but that's not really my thing. Â The food was great - we stuck to smoked food since they had their own smokehouse, and it was awesome. Â 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. Â
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.
Excellent (almost overwhelming) craft beer selection.  Pricing was a bit on the high side (brisket was $17 with no sides).  I tried the brisket, which was good but not great; wife had the filet, with the same comment.  They have their own large smoker on premises, but had run out of ribs and pulled pork at around 7pm.  Scenery, though, is  amazing.  Huge bay windows looking out across Superior.  Every table and bar stool was occupied by 7:30, so get their early or have reservations. In summary, if you're looking for great food, keep looking.  But if you're looking for some fine beers and picturesque scenery, this is definitely the place.
Review Source:Wow. Â This place rocks. Â Food is awesome.
It was a clean sweep, starting with the Black Bean Hummus which I highly recommend. Â Moving to the salad with homemade blueberry vinagrette and then to the pork tenderloin. Â The tenderloin was a little undercooked for my palette but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Â The garlic mashed potatoes rocked and the corn bread muffin was outstanding. Â We washed everything down with a piece of raspberry pie that was awesome. Â
If you are in the area, stop here to eat but call first and make reservations otherwise you have no shot.
Several people told us to make sure we stop at Fitzgerald's while visiting the area. When we looked online we were suprised to see they recommend reservations. Â "Reservations recommended" is not really our preferred eating environment.
We ended up there about 3 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon, and once we saw what a small place it is - reservations for a Friday or Saturday night certainly made sense. Â
The restaurant sits directly on the beach providing a beautiful view of Lake Superior, with a patio for outdoor seating. Â It's filled with nautical decor and substantial wood tables and chairs. Â
They have some unique items on their menu that may be impressive to "foodies". Â Prices were moderate - high, server was cordial. Â I'd give them a 3.5 if that were an option. Â Aside from the fact that they were the only option in that vicinity, we really didn't see what all the fuss was about.

A million dollar view of Lake Superior from anywhere in the restaurant or eat on the deck. Fitzgeralds is simple elegance, a quiet place to enjoy a great meal and spirits.
I was very impressed that they served Paulaner Hefe Weissen...the tall bottle! It went marvelously with the Jaeger Schnitzel, a pork cutlet with a creamy mushroom sauce and spaetzels.
The menu is small but the culinary muscle behind it is pretty strong, this is the UP..the middle of heaven and to find such a strong culinary destination was simply HEAVEN!
