About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
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.

    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 4 days ago
    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 4 days ago
    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!

    Lovely water view dining room, considerate service and delicious food. Our only complaint is the (very) uncomfortable chairs. Can’t wait to try the deck for cocktails.

    Romantic little restaurant right on the seawall. The staff was friendly and welcoming albeit busy and therefore not the most attentive. The food was delicious especially the pickled veggies and crispy potatoes. Prices felt a little on the high side but considering that everything is locally sourced and fresh maybe it was justified. I would absolutely dine here again.

Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Food was outstanding. The seared snapper was the best we’ve had. Everything we ordered was perfect. Service was spot on. We’ll be going back.

    This was my first time to have brunch (or any meal!) at The Fancy at Hotel Lucine. We were seated promptly at a table with a view of the water. The brunch menu had a nice selection. The food was divine and the coffee was excellent. It was quiet and elegant in a casual way. We will be back, for sure!
