Pate’ was good. Calamari steak was tender but the breading was very “doughy “ sadly. Boulevardier drink was to be like an old fashion but only very remotely like one. Service was very friendly. fast, and present. I would not recommend this place but I would also not fight to avoid it either.

I loved the Flat Iron Steak (medium rare). I almost ordered a second one.
It's been a while I have not eaten such a good meat and so well prepared except at home when I pick it up myself from my favorite butcher and I cook it myself.
Great choice of wines and cocktails. I liked the atmosphere even if we had to sit at the bar.

It was such a delight to eat at the Fat Lady! I’ve been meaning to try it for the longest time as I’ve heard it is a must try Oakland establishment.

The food was outstanding - we ordered the steamed mussels and the hot spinach salad as our appetizer. Each of us also got the prime rib plate that’s available on Fridays and saturdays as our entrees. All the flavors and seasonings were done perfectly! I also enjoyed the boulevardier cocktail that was very similar to the traditional Negroni. Finally, I cannot appreciate enough how they got the doneness of our prime rib steak correct! Medium rare is truly medium rare here, and we did not have to send it back to the kitchen. The portion was extremely generous and the service was impeccable.

Regarding the restaurant ambience itself, we were lucky to still dine in the Christmas/ festive decor! The restaurant is super charming and had an eclectic curation of vintage art pieces. Highly recommend this if you ever need a date night.

The place is beautiful decorated the building has lot's of story behind it. Food wise , the menu was quite small not much to choose from. For a good beer and cocktail this place should do it.

My SO & I dined @ The Fat Lady on New Year’s Eve & had a wonderful experience! Who knew that this spot has been there since 1970! The crab cakes, shrimp pachetta, down to our entrees & garlic bread were absolutely delicious! Let’s not forget the service & bread pudding for dessert, simply divine! Keep doing what you’re doing! You guys ROCK😋

The steak frite was expensive ($53) and very very very overcooked. Damn near criminal at that price. The value for money was not there.
