Neat place to eat. Food was delicious, and service was great. Staff was very friendly. Wasn't very busy at the time, so the atmosphere was very laid back. Will definitely go back when in the area.

Drinks and lunch with good friend in Jack London Square area of Oakland. Salad and wine. Excellent service in setting with comfortable chair and carved dark wood. Highly recommend Fat Lady for lunch and drinks.

Well this is round two of reviewing since Google is not cooperating..but I feel this place is worth it. My husband found this when I was on a travel nurse assignment in Northern California. It was superb. We will definitely come back. It is a must visit place if you are in the area!

Host was very friendly. We came to celebrate a birthday. The host gave my wife her first drink on the house. Our waitress was very nice, attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is charming. I recommend Fat Lady.Parking: I would pay for parking in the structure across the street. We parked on the street and our car window was broken. This isn’t the fault of the restaurant

Best birthday dinner ever, the company I was with of course, but the treatment from the staff and welcoming details. Fabulous. Made me feel really special for my birthday. I forgot to ask for a baked potato and they brought me one anyways, manager came over to say happy birthday as soon as they realized. Thank you everyone! I had the smaller steak dinner Medium Rare and it was delicious xxxx
We always love the Halloween decorations the Fat Lady. So we were in the neighborhood and thought we would grab a drink and check out the spooky. But there was no spooky! We asked about it and it seems doing the Halloween stuff just takes too much time and money and just can't justify it with the state of things. Which I totally understand, but it is still sad there is no spooky. Sounds like they are hoping they can do Christmas decorating.Please do go in though. They have good food and drinks and an awesome atmosphere (even if no spooky ?). Hopefully if people keep going back they can have spooky next year.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here tonight and had a wonderful time! Joe greeted us at the door with a warm welcome and the rest of the staff offered genuine hospitality. The food was excellent. Appetizers included the fried zucchini sticks and warm spinach salad. For dinner my wife got the osso bucco and i had the prime rib both perfectly done. The atmosphere had a fun old town Oakland feel with a quirky fun theme. Will definitely come back as well as recommend this place to others. Thank you to the staff for making our anniversary celebration so special!

Warm, vibrant atmosphere. The restaurant is beautiful and so charming. You can feel that the family history is treasured and preserved! And Lisa at the front was very friendly to us.Vegetarian options: The only vegetarian main dish is risotto, but it is very good. Some of the appetizers and salads are vegetarian.

A beautiful and unique restaurant/bar. The atmosphere is fun, everyone is friendly, and there is lots of laughter and banter. I had the best Espresso Martini I’ve had in years! It was truly amazing! Made with fresh espresso. I also had my usual Gin & Tonic and Blood Mary. Both were well made. Five stars for the Bartender.

we went to be amused by the place, and didn’t think we’d go again. so wrong. the place is definitely neat, but the food was fantastic. the pork chop is daringly thick and perfectly cooked (sort of has to be if you’re going to cut them that thick!) and every bite of the salmon was moist, flavorful and delicious! we’ll be back.
This place is such a vibe - Oakland vibe!
