Best Galveston Restaurant: The Fancy
French technique and local ingredients are the inspiration behind the menu at this American fine-ish dining” spot, an island favorite that opened up at the reimagined Hotel Lucine. Dunk plump chilled shrimp into zesty white cocktail sauce, sop up saffron-kissed mussels bouillabaisse with toasty sourdough, relish over corn risotto with crispy maitake, and ooh-and-aah as a whole damn flounder hits the table with oozing herb butter sauce. Then take a break with a fancy cocktail or two, because there are seasonal desserts like the strawberry rhubarb butter cake you have to make room for.
