Quand on pousse la porte de The Fat Lady, on entre dans une épicerie italienne très décalée. A tester de toute urgence !
Quand on pousse la porte de The Fat Lady, on entre dans un cabaret insolite, amusant et très décalé : boiseries à l'ancienne, lampions et papier à musique accrochés au plafond, bonhomme grandeur nature dans les toilettes, etc. Même si la terrasse est agréable, le décor de l’intérieur a été pensé jusqu'au bout. Le must : avoir une table dans l’alcôve dorée où tout brille... La carte de ce restaurant est simple mais bonne, proposant omelettes, salades, sandwichs, cocktails et viandes grillées. A tester absolument si vous passez par Oakland pour son décor.

Luckily for us, they found The Fat Lady and it was SUCH a wonderful experience!
Our server, Elizabeth, was so incredibly delightful and helpful. She made great recommendations and didn’t hesitate to tell us that she wouldn’t mind if we had to camp out for a couple hours, or more, despite our profuse apologies. And that’s not to mention that she was incredibly fun/funny, and dare I say she was a bit cheeky (????) but in a safe and super respectful way. Not only that, she made our dining experience even better than it otherwise would have been - coming and going with the flow you just instantly know is a true mark of high intelligence and skill in the profession.
Now, the food. Gawd. The food was so tasty.
I very much enjoyed the oysters, that came with lemons, real horseradish, and garlic butter. And I had the Atlantic salmon fillet as my main. My partner had the French onion soup and a baked potato that they found to be delicious on a cloudy/drizzly Bay Area day. As for the drinks… We very much enjoyed the Bees Knees and Cupid’s Arrow cocktail, as we did a spicy mezcal cocktail that Elizabeth suggested for us.
By the way, the ambience and atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. It’s almost like being in your kooky rich aunt’s mansion, it’s incredibly ornate and beautiful inside, with art and curtains and lamps. I was in a seat where I could see a stained glass window featuring a rose pattern, making it that much more special.
Needless to say, after our time at The Fat Lady, we’re both adequately prepared and smiling before our flight home after a handful of difficult days. Thanks for your hospitality and patience with us, Elizabeth & Staff. Hope to see you again, someday soon. ????????????
