Where is the Best Fine Dining in Oakland, California?
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
Beautiful room, excellent and professional service, beautifully plated and delicious food. Expensive. Bar could use improvement, as the cocktails were not as good as I am used to, especially in this type of restaurant. I will order wine next time. Did enjoy the experience though and would return for the service and food alone.
