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.

  • Lagniappe Brunch

    22 Feb 2025 - 2 Mar 2025
    Lagniappe Brunch at The Fancy—because a little something extra is always a good idea. Mardi Gras calls for hot-powdered sugar-dusted beignets, crispy crab hushpuppies, and classic king cake with a spin—so we’re adding them to the brunch menu along with even more flavor straight from the French Quarter. From 10 AM to 2 PM, The Fancy is serving up all the flavors of the season, no costume required. And because no celebration is complete without a little live music, we’ve got jazz in The Den from 11 AM to 2 PM—Jahrel Pickens Trio on February 22nd and Stephanie McKay on March 1st. Grab a seat, grab a bite, and let the good times roll.

    1st time eating here. The menu is a 3 course shareable foods. The menu is also locally sourced foods so it is very fresh ingredients. You order what you wish from each course and it is served “family style” which means the plate is placed in the center of the table and diners serve themselves on smaller individual plates. There are two side dishes that work well with all of the entrees. This was a fun experience and the food was delicious. Chrissy, our waitress, and Tara the manager were very friendly, warm, and helpful in helping us understand the menu. They do a wonderful job of providing a “Fine-ish” dining experience. Elevated food in a casual setting. We certainly will be back!

    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!
