Okay so I'll preface this by admitting that I was fasting but was with someone that wasn't so I think that cancels out any bias. And if anything, my daylong hunger usually makes me less picky about what I'm having. We ordered the nachos, green salad, spicy Thai salad, and fried chicken. The consensus was as follows:
Green Salad: despite the trumped up description by our server, this tasted like nothing and I'd definitely skip it. Makes sense why they had to name it something so generic.
Spicy Thai Salad: a misnomer, it's not that spicy but quite good. We enjoyed this quite a bit and eating it on the prawn crackers was great. Probably the best from the night, worth trying albeit not life changing.
Nachos: they weren't bad by any stretch, but nachos rarely are. I like jalapeños so that was nice. And reading the other reviews on here tells me that the cheese whiz was made in house - I couldn't tell. And if the chips were tostitos it wouldn't surprise me either. While I enjoyed it, and the small side of guacamole was good, it was something I'd make at home and made me wonder why I left home to eat it.
Fried Chicken: after trying a bit of my friends' fried chicken at the Chase the night before I was craving it and had heard Fancy had some of the best in town. Maybe if you like your chicken powdered with a sweet seasoning, but I prefer my chicken with a bit of salt and ideally spicy. Not so here. There was a side white sauce that didn't compensate much either and it just wasn't worth the hype for me or my wife. In fact if I went back of skip it.
The service: pretty good. People were nice, food came quickly and they were well-informed. Did it justify the automatic starting point of 18% gratuity? I just didn't appreciate that on principle but they did deserve it.
The vibe: trendy tiny spot with (I was told) an even tinier bathroom. The people are pretty and the music is solid, but not so loud that you can have a conversation. This place is probably better for drinks and oysters, strictly dinner and I'd go somewhere else.
