Although The Fat Lady ambiance is great, the food is good etc. Depending on the mood of the wait staff you may be left hanging or never get what you ordered in the first place. Happened a couple of times to me everyone else got ... more on Yahoo! Travel

There's little room for improvement as far as The Fat Lady is concerned. Free parking down the street, GREAT, fast service, delicious brunch and dinner, a great bar, one of the longest dessert menus I've ever seen, and the warmest, ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Went there today and my burger was cooked to perfection. The portion was more than I can handle though. =p
Oh, another thing, friendly staff ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I took a friend to the Fat Lady as a birthday dinner and I was superbly pleased with my choice. The atmosphere was wonderful. The place is full of intriguing paintings and antiques that give it a great feel. The staff was very nice ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Great fun place. But the female bartender was very rude and obviously in a bad mood.
This sort of spoiled it for us and we decided to leave.

The restaurant is small but very charming. The decor seemed very "Gold Rush". I had the rack of lamb and it was the best I had ... more on TripAdvisor

Was looking for something different for Sunday Brunch near Alameda. My first concern was that the place would be really "touristy" being so close to Jack London Sq. The weather was good and several cu ... more on TripAdvisor

I was in a buffet gathering of about 25 people in the banquet room. So forget the table settings, coverings and everything else. Nonexistent. The first thing that I noticed was the flight of stairs ha ... more on TripAdvisor

The food is just fine, but you don't go there for that. You go there because here is the place you loved when you were 21 (but felt out of place in), loved when you were 35 (but oh, how retro!) and fi ... more on TripAdvisor

Very good sunday brunch. more on TripAdvisor

It's so nice to find a place like this in Oakland. Great food and service in a laid back environment. We even stayed after ... more on CitySearch

I used to work in San Leandro before becoming a domestic goddess 8 years ago. I loved to take customers to the fat lady and to meet collegues at the bar for cocktails on a Friday. Since becoming the goddess of my domain, I haven't ... more on CitySearch

Our waitress wasn't very helpful. Not rude or anything, just couldn't keep her things straight. They have terrible creme brulee. Do not try it, even if the airhead waitress recommends it as ... more on CitySearch

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was just suburb and the staff was great. The owner herself stopped us to take a complementary picture near the famous fat lady painting. Whether you're looking for just ... more on CitySearch

My husband and I were walking our dog around Jack London Square and didn't really know where to have lunch. So, we walked by and decided to try this place. Since we had our dog with us and it was such a beautiful day out, we decided ... more on CitySearch
