An American Fine-ish Dining establishment inspired by local ingredients with a dash of artistic liberty and a lot of personality.

Our menu highlights locally sourced ingredients, celebrating our Galveston roots and coastal ties while supporting the Texas farms and Gulf waters that make it all possible. From the daily catch to fresh, house-made pastas, every dish is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the vibrant community around us. Enjoy our local cuisine with wall-to-wall Gulf views - no dress code required.

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.

    Absolutely delightful. New to us restaurant. Didn’t know what to expect. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our visit. From the service to the ambiance to the food and cocktails, we had such a wonderful experience. Menu divided into 3 sections: top has “small plates “, middle has “medium plates” , and bottom has “large plates “. Dishes are meant for sharing. They timed the courses very well. Our server made menu selection recommendations and she was spot on. Definitely will be back.

    We recently visited with our family of four, including our 8 and 10-year-old kids, and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was AMAZING - everyone's meal was delicious and satisfying. Our waitress was incredibly patient and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The environment was great, too - it was comfortable and welcoming for our whole family. And, as a bonus, the adult beverages and desserts were PHENOMENAL! We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with their family. We can't wait to come back!

    It is amazing that during a fully booked New Years Eve event, the team at Fancy made us feel like we were VIPs. The prefix menu was incredible and the pairings were excellent. The Wagyu Tagliata was the standout dish and we will absolutely be keeping an eye out for future events. Fancy is just so special it’s our new favorite.
    The Fancy at Hotel LucineResponded on January 6, 2025
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We work extra hard on special evenings like New Years Eve and as only our second on the books, we are proud of how it went. We hope you come back soon!

    Eggs Benedict were cold, bacon was undercooked. Had to send order back to kitchen. Crispy potatoes were also cold. Disappointing.

    Hello Liz! We are sorry to hear your brunch experience was less than amazing this weekend. We definitely strive for higher excellence than that and are sorry to have dropped the ball. We hope you'll give us another shot sometime soon!
