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.

    Queens for Greens is hitting The Fancy, and it’s not your average brunch. We’re teaming up with Galveston's Own Farmers Market (GOFM) to serve up a drag brunch that’s as local as it gets—fresh, seasonal dishes paired with a performance by Queen Persephone, Mari Jane, and Artemis Hunter. With two performances starting around 10:15 AM and 12:30 PM, you can pick your vibe, settle in, and let the queens (and greens) bring the fun. And don't forget to show your appreciation for the queens with generous tips – ALL of the proceeds will go towards GOFM. Seats are limited, so don’t wait—Sip, sashay, & support away!

    Great overall experience. The fries were great! We ordered 2 servings. Salad was soggy and the burger was good. Overpriced but good.

    Sunday brunch for 4 - it seemed there was only one server for at least the first half hour. It took that long to get our coffees. Crab hush puppies sounded good, but were presented almost burned. Two pancakes for $18 with no sides of any kind. Plus the most uncomfortable chairs ever. We will not make a return visit.

    The pasta dish with the crab is worth coming back for. Multiple times. The buttercake was delightful. As a recently converted Old Fashioned liker, I loved this one. Missouri was lovely. I'll definitely be back.

    Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the food and cocktails! We'll be sure to let Missouri know how much you appreciated her service. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more visits!

    Our 1st time here. We've been to Galv many times but we were glad to give this place a try. We were a little confused at first of the area. It did not seem like a typical high end OT restaurant but the service and warmth inside made it appealing. The place is from 1963 great history and still in good shape. The dining area provided nice view of beach. The lounge had a lovely jazz band. And we got a tour of the place and took a peek into one of the lodging rooms. So neat to finally try this place. We hope to stay there some time.

    We live in Galveston and have had dinner at The Fancy a few times as well as visited with friends in the bar. We have always enjoyed it, but this was our first time for lunch, and it was absolutely excellent. There were four of us and we grazed through many of the items all of which were delicious. It’s a very comfortable space and the service is excellent.

    Thank you so much, Donna! We enjoyed your visit and are thrilled to see you continue to enjoy our little beach house! Come back soon!

    Great experience. Our server Missouri was knowledgeable and efficient. The only negative were the dining room chairs! The most uncomfortable chairs I think I've ever sat in! My wife and had to move to the window side bench to enjoy our meal. The food was amazing.

    My hubby and I booked this restaurant because we had heard the food was not to be missed. WE certainly second that opinion. Everything we ordered was exceptionally prepared and tasted marvelous. The cocktails were very imaginative and tasty as well. My only complaint is how closely the tables are jammed together. There is absolutely no way to have an intimate evening with your significant other or have a conversation without your every word being over heard by the other patrons seated mere inches away. Every time a hostess came to the tables on either side of ours we had to listen to their conversations and being one who doesn't like to yell to be heard above others had to wait till they left to continue our discussions. I know there are those who like to strike up conversations with complete strangers so this wouldn't be an issue, however one table next to ours had the hostess standing there for an overly long time talking to the patrons whom she was acquainted with and bumping my husbands arm and shoulder ( again very close tables). I would say I looked and would definitely request a table not so jammed together, there are a couple larger tables for 4 in the center I would ask for IF I came here again. The tables are for two mostly along the windows facing the beach or they are along a wall with zero views other than the restaurant. Just be prepared to get chummy with the other diners as this restaurant is very very small.

    Hello, Pamela! We appreciate you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad you enjoyed the food and cocktails, as we are passionate about keeping things fresh and seasonal for the palate! We hear your concern for the table arrangements, and will absolutely take that into consideration when setting the dining room moving forward. We do apologize for the close proximity and for the bumping of our hostess against you guys while seated. We will address the team about being more mindful of guest's space during service! Thank you again and we hope you do come back again!
