Overall, we had a good experience dining at The Fat Lady. Service was good and we even struck up a conversation with the table next to ours. The 3 stars is for the food being just ok. For starters, we enjoyed the zucchini, but the calamari was fried too hard and we didn't care for the steamed mussels at all. The main entrees were better. The Mediterranean chicken was good and my daughter said her chicken marsala was ok. My husband also said his prime rib was average.
A timeless gem of a place… It’s exactly what everyone wishes for in a neighborhood spot. It’s like falling back into your favorite big leather chair at home… slightly worn around the edges in just the right way, cozy, comfortable, warm and inviting.
The food is rock solid, the drinks are made with care, the people are as nice as can be, and the ambience is straight out of a film noir.

Great food (order from the steak menu, seriously), great vibes, and the staff is very friendly. I didn't look at the drinks menu because my friends ordered wine, which was fantastic.
