An American Fine-ish Dining establishment where the menu is full of fancy comfort food with a French twist. Think dinner party hosted by your Aunt who summers in Provence and says Paris like “Pear-REE” – but also drinks beer only from a can with a koozie.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.

    Rudy & Paco’s is our special occasion “go to” Galveston restaurant. Yet this trip exceeded even our usual high expectations. Great food, quality service led by our Server, Jose’, quiet tasteful ambience. We were initially slightly disappointed that Paco was taking a well deserved day off, but the Maitre d’ filled in ably. It was truly a special occasion, my 80th birthday.

    My first visit to this restaurant and I was wow’ed!!! Everything we ordered was amazing. My husband and I split the roasted oysters, the mixed greens and the eggs benedict….. we had to make ourselves stop eating. It was all perfection personified! I can’t wait to go again and try some of the other dishes. Also, the live music added just the right touch to the atmosphere, not too loud. We really enjoyed this talented local musician. Not to mention all of this and an incredible view of the beach!
