    Really looking forward to our visit at The Fancy, it was just Ok. The Eggs Benedict was very disappointing , the egg sandwich was better. We will try going back for happy hour and see how the bar bites are.

    Hey Genevieve! We are disappointed to hear you had a lackluster experience in The Fancy for brunch. We hope you do come in for Happy Hour sometime soon to try our bar bites. Happy hour is all day on Mondays!

    Great overall experience. The fries were great! We ordered 2 servings. Salad was soggy and the burger was good. Overpriced but good.
    The Fancy at Hotel LucineResponded on 17 March 2025
    Thanks for the feedback! So glad you enjoyed your meal aside from the salad not being crisp. That's definitely not our standard, and we apologize for the oversight. We source our ingredients from local purveyors to ensure every dish is fresh and seasonal which may effect pricing. We're sorry we didn't meet your expectation but we hope you come back soon for another visit!

    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 Fancy at Hotel LucineResponded on 4 March 2025
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We apologize for the delay in service and the issues with the food quality and seating. This is certainly not the experience we want to provide for our guests. We’ll be addressing these concerns with our team to ensure better service and quality moving forward. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you’ll reconsider giving us another chance in the future.

    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.
