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.

Such a terrific culinary experience. Setting a menu with exceptional ingredients is only part of it. The chef is magic in how he exceeds your expectations despite the fact that you know you're in for something delicious. Oh, that smoked oyster terrine...and yet our favorite may have been the seared red snapper. The amazing blue crab was our third favorite and it was to die for! Will be back!
The Fancy at Hotel LucineResponded 4 days ago
Wow—what a joy to read! Thank you for such a glowing and thoughtful review. It means the world to hear that the menu, the ingredients, and the chef’s touch all came together to create something memorable for you. That Smoked Oyster Tartine has a way of winning hearts, but we love that the Seared Snapper and crab gave it a run for its money! Can’t wait to have you back for another delicious evening.

Love a glowing review *and* a dramatic keyboard flourish—clearly the food left you speechless (or maybe just mid-bite?). Either way, we’ll take it. Can’t wait to have you back for round two!

Chef Aaron Bluedorn made this experience spectacular!! The food was amazing and Evan the sommelier prepared the most amazing wines with each course! Please make this a regular event - it was a fabulous experience . We can’t wait to come back and try the entire Fancy menu. Also the rooftop bar is really a special place to watch the sunset and grab a cocktail or burger - whatever your fancy !!

The food was very good and the atmosphere was fantastic. You also get a great view of the Gulf while dining. If you are in Galveston looking for a great new place to try, I would highly recommend The Fancy.

Lovely spot with great food and warm service! The staff is always the best—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The martinis were perfectly made, and the appetizers were absolutely delicious. Don’t leave without trying the strawberry rhubarb butter cake—it’s definitely a must!

While the service is always good the kitchen seemed to be slow. The only real complaint we had was that the wagu burger and fries came out soggy. The bottom of the service plate and an excess of liquid which soaked the burger bun and fries. A minor issue is that the fries were way too salty for our taste.
The Fancy at Hotel LucineResponded on May 30, 2025
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear the service was solid, but we’re sorry the burger and fries didn’t hit the mark this time. The Fancy Burger is served with a bone marrow au jus on the plate, which adds richness but clearly impacted the texture more than intended. We’ll share your comments with the kitchen team to help us fine-tune the execution. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Enjoyed starter- bread, cheese, and pickles; then, problems-fish was not hot, broccoli was not hot. Potatoes were great, but only warm briefly.
The Fancy at Hotel LucineResponded on May 30, 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the starter and potatoes, but we’re sorry the temperature of the main dishes didn’t hold up. Your feedback is appreciated and will be shared with our kitchen team so we can improve. We hope you'll come back for a second shot at an all around great experience!

Service was slow. Service staff not well organized and many looked unprofessional (sloppy). Only one server for the entire room and lots of others just walking around doing nothing. Someone needs to get them organized and at the same level as the food!

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food, but we're sorry to hear the service missed the mark. We take your comments seriously and are addressing the issues you mentioned. We appreciate the chance to do better.
