"Food was good French onion soup was salty but full of flavor and high quality a lot of care went into. The tuna tartare appetizer was only ok… tuna was very tough with zero flavor, but sauces were decent. We also ordered a meat cheese board, taking several recommendations from server, which were hit or miss honestly. Non spicy salami option was very bland; duck salami was interesting and new to us. Soft cheese (like Brie but different name) was amazing, but Gouda was bland. Also, most of the accompaniments were brine based, pickles, pickled veg, olives… would have liked more non brine, like fruit, chocolate, different crackers (only came with baguette). Similarly, had two jams, but would have liked honey, mustard or different. Our server never came to check on us (and it was not busy until we left, we were the only table occupied at first, aside from two at the bar top facing street), but mentioned as he delivered our check we could have asked for other things. Would have been helpful to know when tray arrived, not at the end. On setting, was quiet cosy at first, but got loud and crowded. Only one table is low, the rest are high tops, and very hard seats, so know that it’s not a place to linger for 2 hours comfortably. Overall, was good, and we’d probably try again, maybe more of the food choices, but I think some other wine bars in area are better."

"The Fat Lady Cafe was a welcome surprise as we passed The Local Table and Tap which we've been to before and is quite good. However, bc of where we parked we decided to try The Fat Lady Cafè and boy, was it a winner for our family!!!! They had just reopened the day before (5/27/2021). Our server, Junior, was kind and generous and knowledgeable. Service was top notch. Our kids ordered off the kids menu (even though they usually don't). The grilled cheese sandwich and chicken nuggets they each ordered came with fries, drink (milk, chocolate milk, juice) and a brownie (fresh baked each day). I ordered the gazpacho but I dared to let my 7 year old daughter try it and she immediately claimed strict 50% ownership of it. Needless to say, it was delicious. I also had the pastrami on rye with mustard which was just what I wanted. My husband had a cheddar burger and fries which he basically inhaled. Luckily we had the privilege of meeting the owner as she stopped by. She told us how she hired a new chef and bakes desserts every day. Her name is Judy and she's a lovely, friendly person. Our 7 and 9 year old kids had their brownies and my husband had the banana chocolate cake (which Judy says she makes daily bc her grandkids love it). My husband agreed. The dinner entrees looked great, too. Go here for lake side seating, perfect service and delicious food made with love. The experience made our whole family exclaim we love the fat lady cafe On the way home. It was a unanimous hit. Can't wait to go back all summer long!"
