A friend from the East Bay picked this restaurant as a meeting point for a group of us to have our quarterly lunch - most of us coming from S.F. We were impressed immediately with the atmosphere and general ambiance and most importantly because we could have a conversation and hear one another easily. It was a Saturday brunch when we dined and the first experience with the Fat Lady for all. The food was wonderful (from salads to eggs & french toast) but took a very long time to be served which was concerning as the place was not busy and no where near full to capacity and arriving early, we had been the first to order. The waitress did let us know however that there would be a delay in getting our food after we had waited more than half an hour after ordering. As it was a social occasion for us it was not an issue but what really spoiled the entire experience was that the bill was delivered immediately without an inquiry as to whether we wanted any thing additional such as desert, coffee etc. "Here's your hat; what's your hurry!". Other than the bum's rush, the experience was good. Would definitely go again and recommend to friends but would certainly protest being herded out if it reoccurred! (note: there was no wait for tables when this happened)
Pros: good location, variety in menu, great bar, easy street parking
Cons: service was sloppy except at the bar where it was very attentive

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 been able to get to the Fat Lady since my "career change." Well, that's all about to change. I'm going to a concert at the Paramount in February and thought how fun it would be to have dinner first, but where? The Fat Lady was the first and only place I thought of. I can't wait to come back, I'm bringing my dad who is going to adore the ambiance, the food, the wine and the history. Thanks Fat Lady for being part of my nostalgia. Can't wait! Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!
