The Fitzgerald is a gorgeous venue, and we really enjoyed trivia night. What brought us in was the promise of seafood and trivia, but I guess the chef was on holiday and the menu changed at the last minute to hot dog night instead. There was a burger on the menu as well, so we each ended up ordering one. It was a kind of pricey ($18 each) compared to the local going rate, but it was fine--we were on an adventure. The burger was good, but when we ordered them medium, we were told they "don't cook anything to temperature." Okay... fine again. We were just rolling with it at this point. The burger was good, but our fries were underdone. The garlic aioli was really tasty, though, so I drowned them in it. In addition to the burgers, we also had three cocktails in total. There were no prices on the menu. I ordered The Fitzgerald's version of a Bee's Knees, and my husband had two regular martinis. The bill total came to $91 before tip. We were not shown an itemized receipt at all, or offered one after we paid. So, in addition to $36 in burgers, that meant each cocktail cost about $18. Because I was told that their menu is posted on Facebook, I logged into my deactivated account to check what was posted there. I did see the change to hot dog night in lieu of seafood, but there were still no cocktail prices.
My husband is inclined to return because he really enjoys trivia, and we really liked the atmosphere and the people, but I still don't care for how the menu and prices are such a mystery. read more
