Meh. That is the perfect way to describe Fitzgeralds. The place is not all together bad, but with a plethora of both restaurants and bars in Uptown; why waste your time with this place?
I've been for both drinks and dinner and both experiences were truly 'Meh.'
The food itself is not bad, its bar food-- the same stuff you get at any bar and its good enough-- but when the food takes forever and comes out cold-- kinda makes it hard to judge the quality. The servers also seem not too inept with when it comes to being attentive or really serving at all. I am sure there are good servers, but my experience was not so.
My friends came before me and ordered their food at the bar. When we got a table they told the waiter that they were going to go tell the bar-- he said not too, that he would close out their tabs and transfer their orders to the table. This was clearly not done as their orders sat at the bar for about 20 minutes before they were brought to the table. This was only after asking repeatedly for their orders (since all of us were pretty much finished ordering). He assured them again and again that the kitchen was working on it and they were just backed up. Finally, the waiter brought the orders to the table and simply explained, 'yeah, they were sitting up at the bar.' No apologies. Judging by the ice cold french fries-- the orders were sitting there for a while-- which seems a little unsanitary to me . . .
So in conclusion, Fitzgeralds is MEH. Go somewhere else. There are PLENTY of bars and restaurants in Uptown-- several serving up the same kinds of food and atmosphere as this place. For that reason, save your time, your money and your taste buds from an evening at Fitzgeralds.
