I truly wish I could leave a five-star review for Fancy’s.
I was visiting from out of town and heard about Fancy’s as an African American-owned establishment with great energy, good food, and strong drinks. Walking in, I was immediately impressed. The decor is gorgeous. Think comfortable sofas, chandeliers, velvet textures, and bold touches of animal print. Chic without feeling bougie. Classy without being stiff. It’s an eye-catching space that invites you to stay awhile.
I chose to come on a Wednesday during happy hour, right before R&B night, so I could vibe and catch up with a friend. The mixologists were honestly fantastic. Sergio, Becca, Zyed, and Nyisha deserve real praise. Attentive, funny, welcoming, and clearly good at what they do. Service at the bar was a highlight of the night.
As a vegetarian, I was happy to see solid options. I ordered the tempura cauliflower, which was perfectly breaded and fried, paired with a delicious eel sauce. Fun fact, it’s actually sugar and hoisin-based and has nothing to do with eel. I highly recommend it. My friend ordered the Fancy Bites, chicken nugget-style pieces, and said they were equally delicious.
So why the three stars?
I make a conscious effort to seek out and support African American owned businesses. Recycling our dollars matters to me. During my entire visit, I did not see a single African American employee. Not behind the bar, not serving, not in security, not in the kitchen, not bar backing. No one. When I gently mentioned this to one of the mixologists, the immediate response was, “But this is an African American establishment.”
That response gave me pause. It felt rehearsed, and it didn’t address the reality I was experiencing. When I patronize an African American establishment, I expect to see African Americans represented, especially in customer-facing roles.
Fancy’s has so much going for it. The food, the drinks, the decor, and the atmosphere are all there. I hope ownership takes a closer look at representation, because that piece matters as much as the rest.

We came here on a Wednesday for Mr Roger’s night and let me start by saying I have been all over the world (14 countries just last year) and their dj @sayntchris is the BEST dj I have ever heard, his mixing skills and library of music are unmatched!!! The food was delicious, it is finger food but just as good we got sushi, the sliders, cauliflower, fries, and the tuna everything was great and came out quick!!! The atmosphere was giving excellence it’s decorated beautifully and feels sexy and the service was also great they constantly checked on us. 10/10 we will definitely be back, thank you!

This lounge charges $100 just to reserve a table, and shockingly, that money does not go toward your bill. It’s simply a fee for the privilege of sitting down. Had this been clearly disclosed anywhere during the reservation process, we would have made an informed decision. Instead, this crucial detail appears to be conveniently omitted.
When we asked about it, the situation turned into a bizarre parade of managers. First, the waiter brought out one manager who immediately dismissed our concern without even attempting to explain anything. Then another manager appeared and confidently said he would “handle it.” His solution? Walking away and disappearing.
Moments later, a third manager arrived, already hostile and defensive, and informed us that the $100 is simply a “table fee.” When we calmly explained that nowhere during the reservation process was this stated, she couldn’t point to a single place where this policy was disclosed. No sign, no reservation notice, no written policy—nothing. Just attitude.
So to summarize:
$100 reservation fee that does not apply to your bill
Zero transparency about this policy when booking
A revolving door of managers who either dismiss, disappear, or become hostile when questioned
Charging a premium for a lounge experience is one thing. Charging hidden fees and then treating customers like they’re the problem for asking about them is another.
There are plenty of places that know how to treat guests with respect and operate with transparency. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of them

Worst experience I have EVER had at a bar in Houston. My people spent money buying tables and bottles in this establishment the door man wouldn’t even let me in stating I was out of dress code in tennis shoes and there were over 30 guys and females in the bar with gym shoes. The guy was argumentative and let everyone else in except me until my party had to let him know multiple times I was good! I will NEVER patronize this establishment again and you shouldn’t either. They have to have a problem with the LGBT community and that is perfectly fine!

Came here with my sister, we order 3 apps and drinks. Our bill was almost $400. We asked the waitress for recommendations on drinks she recommends a drink that was with regulus and grand marnier. Once we got our bill we see that every drink was charged regular price for the regular and gran marnier, basically $36 a drink. Our bill between 2 ppl was $352. On top of that, we order a round a drinks and after placing the drinks she tells us we have to get up in 10 min for the next reservation. Why tell us after we order more stuff? Our drinks ain’t come in time and they made us move before the drinks came so when had to drink our drinks standing up. They are money hungry and I would not come back. They rather inconvenience and upset customers then retain them.

What a cute beautiful place. Very girlie for girls night out or even a date night. It was a Thursday night during their soft opening, so there was no belly dancing. They did have a violinist playing and it wasn’t too loud. Loved it. The service was good, we had an amazing waiter that tended to our party of 9 all night. I wish he had some help though for such a large party. The food is great, love the hummus and blue fin tar tar. Octopus was good as well, little bland. My favorite cocktail has to be the espresso martini, so delicious. Great food, great ambiance and great company. Would love to come back again

I rarely leave one-star reviews, but this experience warrants it.
Fancy’s cancelled my private room reservation for a birthday celebration of 15+ people just four days before the event—a reservation that had been booked well in advance—because they decided to honor a full restaurant buyout the same weekend.
Translation: existing reservations were bumped to make room for someone else’s last-minute request.
What makes this worse is how it was handled. After communicating directly with their event coordinator throughout the planning process, I wasn’t even afforded the courtesy of a personal heads-up. Instead, I received a generic OpenTable cancellation notification. When I reached out to the restaurant manager to confirm whether this also applied to my large-party, private-room reservation, I received a dismissive “yes it does” response—the following afternoon.
This has left me scrambling with less than a week’s notice to find a venue that could accommodate a large group on a Saturday, which anyone who plans events knows is nearly impossible. Birthdays aren’t casual, last-minute dinners—you coordinate schedules, guests, and expectations. That planning was completely disregarded.
While buyouts may be good for business, cancelling confirmed private reservations at the last minute shows a lack of respect for customers and poor operational judgment. If your reservation can be dropped days before your event because someone “more important” comes along, then it was never reliable to begin with.
Disappointing experience and not a place I’d trust for celebrations or group events. Or period. Be more dependable and respectful to those who keep your business afloat EVERY day.

Albi — Arabic for “My Heart” — was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary tonight. The restaurant offers offers a modern perspective on Mediterranean food in a very stylish environment. The menu is inspired by countries such as Lebanon, Turkey, Morocco with some influence from Greece.
The ambience was beautiful and romantic. The food was beyond delicious. Every plate was beautifully plated like a work of art. The cocktails with Mediterranean influences such as Baklava Old Fashioned, Waters of Petra, and Turkish espresso martini were so good. Desserts are an absolute delight at Albi as well!
This restaurant just opened a few weeks ago, and they are still in their soft opening mode. They had a DJ playing light music tonight that was quintessential the setting. Perfect ambiance, delicious food, and outstanding service… we are definitely going back again!

This restaurant’s vibes and decor is lovely with a lot of backdrops everywhere for you to dress up and take pictures with. The service was nice. The food was expensive for what it was. It’s not bad but I think for the price it should have been better. There is belly dancing at 8:30 pm when we were there on a Saturday. The belly dancer is really sweet. However I think the stage needs more lighting since it was still pretty dark even though they tried to have some lights on the stage. I think it’s a nice place to hang out and Houston doesn’t have too many places with food and entertainment. I think if there wasn’t entertainment, I wouldn’t go here for just the food due to price/quality.
