The Fitz — Restaurant in Milwaukee

We really enjoyed our experience here last night. It’s located in the Ambassador hotel. My girlfriend had purchased a Valentine Day special, which essentially gave us each an appetizer, salad/soup, entree and desert for a very reasonable price.

We ordered our drinks first. I decided on the BA Manhattan and she ordered the Valentine’s Kiss. Both were very enjoyable.

As for food, she ordered the shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, filet, and chocolate cake. I ordered the ahi tuna, the strawberry champagne salad, the filet, and the churro desert. Food was excellent and we enjoyed everything that we ordered. Particular standouts were the filets and the deserts. Our filets were prepared and cooked perfectly to our preference, and we both ordered it with the portobello bleu topping (which was outstanding.). We both enjoyed the chocolate cake, but the churro desert was out of this world! They were so fresh and served with marshmallow cream and caramel drizzle. One of the best desserts I have had in a long time.

We were told they do brunch there. We will definitely be back to try that. Our server was Cristal and she was great. Very attentive and kind. The whole staff was...

First of all although there were several empty 2-top tables available they put us in between 2 other couples so none of us could carry on a private conversation. There was no bread served with the salads and when my friend asked for crackers at least they brought a package of oyster crackers! The chicken marsala was ok but heavy on the salt. I ordered a Southern Comfort old fashion sweet. It was just okay but when the bill came it was crazy. The drink itself was $9, then there was a $4 charge for a 2oz pour, then another $2 for who knows what, the word 'sweet' was in it. I questioned the waitress and she took it to the bartender. She said the $2 was for what they put in the drink. I asked like what she said she didn't know maybe bitters? Huh? They did take the $4 off but I never did find out what those crazy extras were for. I have never heard of such a crazy bill for a drink. I will not be returning to this place. And certainly won't suggest it to...

This was our first visit to the Ambassador Hotel home of The Fitz and Gin Rickey. This restaurant and partner bar was a wonderful experience and a beautiful venue. Dedicated to F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The night started with a couple cocktails in the pre-prohibition themed bar Gin Rickey. A great selection of wines and signature cocktails. I had a Sazerac and their signature Manhattan both were outstanding. We also had a flatbread since it was happy hour,very food and the bar staff is both very knowledgable and excellent at their craft.

Next, we went into the restaurant to have dinner. My wife had the Scallops and I had the Short Rib entree. Both were excellent and again our server was first class. They treated us with some champagne for our celebration. The entire staff also gave us some history of this wonderful hotel.

We look forward...
