I've heard nothing but rave reviews about Fancy's, along with a very specific warning: Wednesday is the best night after 8 and make a reservation unless you enjoy standing in lines for sport. Parking is valet but I can't tell you the price because we took a ride share. The line was definitely there. My friend made a call because I don't wait, and I wasn't about to start that hobby tonight. It pays to know people. Fancy's itself is adorable: low lighting, music that matches the vibe perfectly, plenty of indoor tables, large bar in the middle, plus a cozy outdoor area with a bar and heaters so you can pretend Houston has seasons. My drink, Forbidden Love, was strong enough to make me feel something but not strong enough to make me question my life choices. The 3 Woodford Reserves on the rocks had zero complaints, so I assumed it was made right. We didn't try the food, but they offer small bites and sushi rolls. Overall, I'd definitely come back preferably with the same friend who makes the phone calls. read more

Fancy's gets a solid 3 stars. The aesthetic is beautiful, the bar setup is nice, and the music really sets a great vibe. That said, the service felt a bit disjointed and not as polished as you'd expect for the atmosphere. The food was just okay--nothing that stood out--but I did appreciate the creative "adult happy meal" concept. Drinks were subpar, which was a bit disappointing given how strong the bar presence is. Overall, it feels like they're still working out some kinks. Worth checking out for the vibe, but not quite a full experience yet. read more

I decided to celebrate the New Year here with my loved ones, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. While the venue itself is beautiful, it was clear they were not prepared for the evening. Our tickets advertised complimentary sushi, champagne, and party favors. No sushi or party favors were ever provided, and we had to walk around just to locate the champagne. As the night was winding down, we were pressured to close out, which felt rushed. When I tapped my card, the total presented was $133, which immediately didn't seem right. I requested an itemized receipt, and it showed a total of $109 -- a number that already included gratuity. I didn't even have to point out the discrepancy; the staff member corrected it himself. This left me with the impression that I was being taken advantage of and assumed to be too intoxicated to notice the overcharge. Overall, the lack of organization and transparency overshadowed what could have been a great New Year's celebration. read more

Fancy's has the best happy hour food, drinks and hours! It's decorated just like the name FANCY! I stopped in with my husband for a date night and we had a good time. Bartender Emmer was great! She made the best drinks! We got the burgers, fries and oysters which were all good. I am definitely coming back for my birthday happy hour with the girls! read more

We had an event here for Houston Millennials at Fancy's. I think that they Did a great job for what the restaurant used to be. The servers were kind and respectful. And we had a lot going on that day! It was an award show they had the most patience ever for us! LOL Yeah that was a success I think mainly because of the staff. They really pulled it together. Parking was pretty simple because you can always utilize the parking lot across the street. That came in clutch for real! But the place is beautiful a lot of birth bright and deep reds and blacks and metallics. The appetizers I had were pretty tasty though I didn't indulge in many. Just the basic ones... But the TRUFFLE FRIES were my fav. They use burgundy truffle, parmesan, truffle oil, fresh herbs, and pecorino romano aioli. You can taste every single element and the flavors come together beautifully. I want to come on a day that is not super special so I can try a little bit more on the menu and not worry about how I look in my outfit! Lol. Time to unbuckle some belts next time! Until then... read more

I didn't want to give a one star for the lack of experience. me and a couple friends visit here (Halloween week 10/29/25) per a invite from the host, and their was a line, and longer wait. I don't like standing in long lines, waiting a long amount of time, so I did give a time frame (15 mins). Looks like every melanin elite bachelor and bachelorette was visiting here on a Wednesday night. The decor is similar to Confessions, but a green setting verse a red, with less space it feels. It's on the second floor, above Men's Wearhouse. They open at 5pm. valet is complementary before 8pm. after 8pm valet is $20. If your car is parked prior to 8pm and you collect it after 8pm, it's still comp valet. if you have to pay for valet, you have the choice of paying prior to entry (drop off) or at departure. I would attempt to try without the crowd, I prefer a slow and low traffic type of event. read more

I am going to preface this by saying, I hope my experience is an isolated event. My friend made a reservation for her birthday, paid a deposit to reserve a table, and arrived on time and seated two hours past her reservation which was 15 minutes before they close. Yikes! The staff seemed to be overwhelmed--from the staff at the door up to management. There is opportunity there. The positives: on Wednesday nights the dj is great. The actual venue is nice and there is lots of space. They have food available to order as well. Would I come back? Questionable. I've always heard good reviews about visiting on Wednesday nights but my experience while possibly isolated, it has fallen off the cliff and into the gorge for me. read more

Love this bar!! They have great service and amazing cocktails. Be sure to consult your bartend for recommendations. The workers are super friendly and work quickly. I'd highly recommended this place to anyone looking for good vibes and good drinks. Thank you to Fancy's for hosting our Bookclubs meeting. Cheers! read more

Great time and great service with our server Missie. I would definitely recommend her for a great time and great vibes.

My review for this place is currently indifferent. I've been twice once was randomly a special event for a wine release. The entire vineyard was not meant to know but I was able to mingle with some of the people there for the event. I observed specialty menu items.Orders and drinks specific to the event that I was able to partake in that were very good. The hospitality that night seemed to be on point. Meanwhile, I went on a Wednesday evening once before that had a great DJ and grapevine, but it seems like they were not ready for the crowd.\nThey were extremely long lines at the bar , so I ended up getting a table just to order a drink. After waiting about an hour I was getting up from the table to try the bar again when my drink came. The waitress did apologize, but she said all of the drinks were essentially coming from the bar.So I was waiting behind the backup line of people at the bar and everyone else who let order drinks at tables. I decided I wanted to order food but they were within one hour of closing , and I was advised that I might not get my food until close to closing , and it may not be worth it. I think this adjustment could be nicer if they had enough employees to manage the crowd. Id give it one more try. read more

Beware when using OpenTable as we were told by the assistant manager that our reservation for 3 was just to come in the door and not actually for a table. The restaurant was entirely empty at 7:45pm except for one other table & couple at the bar; yet the assistant manager told us he really didn't have space for us. Other tables were coming and he'd have to kick us out when they arrived. It was so dead that we thought he was kidding. After some back and forth, he gave us one of the many empty tables and told us to be ready to get up. We chose to get one round of drinks and leave instead of spending our money there after being treated this way -- on my friend's birthday nonetheless. The drinks were fine but not particularly good for the price. He did try to apologize by bringing over shots of well liquor, but the damage had already been done. We ended up getting last minute reservations to the marigold club down the street and having exceptional service and food. Also, when we left, we got a notification from OpenTable that they claimed we didn't show up for the reservation although we did -- and still had spent $65 on the three drinks. read more

So they make it hard to make reservations then you get there, they barely have enough space and want to charge you $50 to eat at a table for 45 minutes and it doesn't even go towards your bill? Awesome. Cute ambiance, terrible concept. read more

Came in for an event and the vibes were very nice. The space is gorgeous and the bartenders are friendly. It's mandated as a sushi spot though and ehhhhh I would not come back for the food. The drink menu itself was pretty basic but the drink I had was well prepared. All in all it's a nice spot to go out if you're in that area read more

I came on a Wednesday night expecting a vibe and was very disappointed. I could hear people's voices echoing from downstairs with how empty it was and the music was very quiet (not that I wanted it blaring). I'd seen their happy hour (fancy hour) menu be was looking forward to it. Turns out they do not serve a majority of the happy hour menu on Wednesday despite the happy hour being all weekdays. The music did get turned up a bit and throughout the night a total of 10 people came. However the truffle fries were very good though tasted more like garlic than truffle. I had the hamachi roll that was also good. I got the star martini and it wasn't what I expected but not bad but not good lol. All in all, maybe it would be better in a weekend when the food options advertised re available and there's a dj but don't go on a weekday. read more

Go here if you want to fall victim to credit card fraud. Went on Saturday evening 2/01/2025 to celebrate a special occasion for my friend. I bought ONE drink at the bar, from a young lady with black hair, that came out to $21.80 and I left a $3 tip on top of that. A few days later, I received notification from my bank that the tip was changed to $30 instead of $3. I know that this was not a mistake or isolated incident because my friend, who had also ordered a drink on his own tab, had his $4 tip changed to $40 as well... Beautiful ambiance minus the scamming, fraud, and illegal activity. Scam central, similar to many of the other bars in Houston read more

We were here for a friend's birthday party. Let me start with the positive. The place is beautifully decorated and lives up to its name. They have Happy hour 5-8 even on a Friday! Now let's talk about why I gave this establishment 2 stars. The menu offerings are limited and very pricey and the portions are okay. The truffle fries weren't hot when they came out and the sliders were salty. The star Martini however is excellent! The service was subpar and slow considering the place was EMPTY our party was only about 15 people with 2 waitresses and it was still slow and not very attentive. Honestly I felt like there were some racial implications. Our party felt as if we were being less attended to because we were African American. My friend whose party it was told me that when she booked her party which was NOT in a private room she was not told there was a per person minimum, however upon being seated she was told there was a $100 pp minimum. My husband and I star eyed at the bar because we arrived before the party, once we moved to the table when we wanted to place an additional order we were told it would not go toward the party's minimum. I don't understand considering we are part of the party. The service was so slow people had to go to the bar to order drinks and guess what, that didn't count toward the minimum either. When she passed and poured the champagne she skipped around and honestly it seemed as if this was her first time pouring for a group. It felt very odd . When it was time to leave when the host wanted to settle his tab everyone was frantic and Susie rested and heard he felt like they were trying to consult with each other to determine what should be added to the tab, , he said overall he felt "buckled and dimed and duped". Policies for parties should be consistent and properly communicated and the policies should not change based on the color of your skin. I looked up this place on Yelp after we arrived and saw they had a 2 star rating and after my experience I see why. I would not recommend this place despite having a cool saxophone player who was part of a 3 piece band. If a lounge is empty at 7/8:00pm on a Friday and barely have people trickling in at 9 it's a strong indication that something is wrong. read more

Horrible experience. Door people are rude, yelled the whole time. They couldn't control the crowd. People walk up, push, act the fool. Waited at the FRONT of the line for 1 hour 45 minutes. Literally 1 person ahead of me. Only stayed because I met some people in line and my boys were inside. They only let you in if you buy a table. Finally said enough was enough after all the pushing and yelling and took people in line to another spot. read more

I'll start with the good, our waitress Whitney was the sweetest and most helpful. Without her this would have been a 1 star review. Yes it's FANCY but there are no shortage of fancy spots in houston: it's my 2nd time here. At the door the bouncer says reservation only. Our friend a male got here 10 minutes earlier and was not asked if he had reservations and walked in. I'm from Miami we pass the DOOR test: thankfully the manager let us in but this place was not packed enough at midnight for that hassle. Walked in plenty of empty tables. The bouncer was just being a jerk. The food is good. Overall it's a good spot but cherry picking for a "certain" type of guest is so lame: my friends niece was turned away because she had on a romper But the table next to us and several people in here had on jeans. Literally one guy looked ready to clean a pool, Tshirt, jeans and tennis shoes. So if they work on service it's 5 star potential. Thanks Whitney you are a 5 star team member! read more

I'm gonna be honest because I've been in the industry a very long time I've worked in many nightclubs including Cle. Came in here tonight two female bartenders came over to me rolled their eyes gave such attitude both with dark hair one very short big lips they were beyond rude and they made a face and they said oh you worked at Cle. Horrible ignored us I won't come back read more

The Clé group has done it again. I came here on a Friday night and the place was packed! Everyone was dressed to impress and the drinks were so artfully done. This place is going to be the newest hot spot for all the River Oaks glitterati for a while. Parking is great bc there are lots all over the place. Make sure you dress to impress or you won't get in. But the music is great and this place will be "the spot" for months to come read more

Dress code is not clear, should be more specific if you're turning patrons away. Ambiance looks nice. read more

I went to this place during their grand opening this weekend. Boy, did they strike out lol. The layout is just weird, they have a little stage where people kept tripping over, and overall it's way too dark inside people bumping into each other. It looks like they put zero effort into designing an upscale environment. Service also sucked. The crowd was mostly all Arab or Mediterranean men, the ambience was just downright creepy. The artwork was a rehash of what used to be over at Bisou , which this is another Cle group concept. They used to have the magic touch, but not anymore that magic has run out. Furthermore the location sucks, the parking is atrocious, it's in the back of another building so you have to walk up the stairs of a narrow passageway, and people almost fell down. Don't know what these guys were thinking when they leased this space. I didn't try the food, but it's like Cle groups other restaurants which have already closed down (post oak lodge), it's going to be awful as well. Overall, I give this place less than a year, bad location, terrible ambience, decor is a zero and layout is awful. Cle group = massive fail on this one. read more

The sushi is pretty good, and the overall vibe makes me think of a South Beach night club/slash rooftop bar. The bartenders are solid with their cocktail recipes, and the service from both bartenders and servers is great! I prefer the 7:30pm experience outside on the deck of their rooftop as opposed to the club atmosphere. Nothing wrong with the music or crowd; I'm just at a point in my life where I enjoy quiet over loudness. Give this place the opportunity to please you! read more

If I could rate 0 stars I would. My boyfriend and I wanted to try this new establishment out on a Thursday night. We should've looked at the reviews because boy, were they right. We were not even able to enter as the hefty bouncer barely stopped us because he was too occupied drinking a coke and a drink. Very unprofessional. Told my boyfriend his Alexander McQueens were not the right shoes and to get a button up. Okay that's fine, we'll change. Then he pulls the you have to be 25 card. Okay, we accept it, until a car pulls up and a group of minors dressed up are literally able to go in. The bouncer definitely seems miserable and has an ego. I would too if I had to put in overtime as a bouncer. I don't expect this place to last unless changes are made. read more
