Fancy's Fish House

We were very excited to try this restaurant- however we left feeling it was a miss rather than a hit. We have been asked if we recommend this restaurant, sadly it was “no”. The nautical decor of the venue is great. The mussel appetiser, oysters, kale salad, cocktail and Alaskan halibut dish were yummy. The gumbo was good, however it tasted just like the mussels dish. The “jumbo” shrimp was definitely not “jumbo”, and was definitely not worth $21, they were 5 small shrimp. And the $47 filet Mignon was very disappointing. The filet Mignon was tender (we ate what we could) however we asked for it to be cooked medium as it was our daughter, and it came out medium rare and more to the rare side. We had it returned for further cooking, and it was returned to us the same. We were not able to eat all the filet Mignon, and when asked if we wanted to pack it up to take away, we declined due to how rare it was. We were also charged for $7 for fries, as she asked for fries instead of the fingerli

$1 oysters during happy hour! I wish HH was offered on Fridays, but it’s all good. Great deal if you’re into raw oysters and looking for somewhere in Memphis. We’ve been several times, but only for drinks and oysters. The service is OK, not spectacular, but not terrible. The food items sound good and it smells great inside. I like the decor too, super cute.

I definitely recommend Fancy’s!! The lobster bisque was wonderful, the fish and chips were so crispy, well seasoned, light, and not fishy at all. My husband had the cobia chef’s special, which he said the fish was really good, the mushrooms were also good, but the potatoes needed seasoning. The only complaint I have is the bottom of one of a glass was really dirty and gross looking. I didn’t say anything to them because there wasn’t anything to be done about it, but I did get pretty grossed out by it. Everything else was very clean and the atmosphere was SO cute. The service was outstanding!! Our waitress was above and beyond. We will be back!!
