An American Fine-ish Dining establishment where the menu is full of fancy comfort food with a French twist. Think dinner party hosted by your Aunt who summers in Provence and says Paris like “Pear-REE” – but also drinks beer only from a can with a koozie.The Fancy at Hotel Lucine sits neatly at the intersection of 10th & Seawall Blvd - we're about as close to the water as a hotel can get without high tide lapping at your bedside.

Food delicious. I asked that my bacon be “extra crispy”. So I was a little disappointed. Also, I had to ask for jam for the toast. Small details. Stilll a wonderful meal.
