Cypress

Met a friend here to try Cypress for the first time. I was not sure what to expect, but it was a little more quiet than I expected which ended up being great for us. They are listed in OpenTable which worked out great for making a reservation ahead of time. First of all, the new decor including flooring, booths and tables, paint, lighting, etc is awesome. It's a little silly to say, but whoever did the remodel on this place did a fantastic job and it is so great looking. I love love loved all of the elements (hey, are they available to style/decorate my house?- haha). The bathrooms are adorable and clean too. The service was great. I was catching up with a friend so we didn't get to ordering very fast, but our server was attentive and our food came quickly. We had shrimp and grits and I had a Crabcake sandwich, both of which tasted great. Prices were definitely very fair. Overall, we had a really positive experience and I would be back. The ability to make a reservation ahead via OpenTable is a big positive to make it easier to return. I highly recommend!

I wanted to love this place, but I have never felt more awkward leaving a restaurant. We were seated for our reservation and were looking over the menus. The restaurant has very nice decor, but there was no light over our table or on the table and it was incredibly dark during the meal.While taking drinks our waitress was distracted, even cutting my husband off mid-sentence to talk to another table. We find out their out of all salmon, portobello mushrooms, and arugula (an ingredient in the dishes two of us were planning to order). The restaurant wasn't busy but service was slow. Our waitress didn't check back for drink refills. When the food came out, three of the six dishes had issues. The Chicken Apple Brie sandwich was spicy (which the menu doesn't indicate), the roasted fig salad was drenched in bacon grease, and the braised short ribs were cold and had a stray spicy pepper in it.When we were wrapping up, I asked the waitress if the sandwich I ordered was supposed to be spicy in case we came back and I would know whether to order it again or order it differently. We never asked to send any food back, we never asked for anything to be removed, simply asked if it was supposed to be spicy. She said um...I don't know, then immediately got defensive and told me "It's not made wrong, it's correct if that's what you're asking" I mentioned I didn't see anything about it being spicy and she told me it was probably the garlic aioli--which not only is not spicy, but not an ingredient on the sandwich. She then asked me rudely if I wanted her to get the chef out here about this to which I politely declined. After again saying a few other rude things, she said she'd send the manager over. The manager never came, the waitress never refilled drinks, we declined dessert, and paid out check.I talked to the manager on the way out (kudos to Christine for being lovely) who said she hadn't been made aware of any of this and appreciated me bringing it to her attention. She also confirmed the sandwich is in fact not supposed to be spicy.In any event, the waitress made a dinner with an out of town guest incredibly awkward. I've never been verbally attacked by a waitress for asking a question and it certainly wasn't called for.

This was the former Sullivan cove. I do have hopes for Cypress but there are a few misses. The service was good the ambiance was what was expected nice bar area too. The crab chowder was decent as was the fig salad. My husband got the mahi tacos they were good. The seasoned fries are Meh. We prefer regular fries even boardwalk style the seasoned fries are ok if that's what you like. I ordered the GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM (GF & VGN)$24Herbed risotto, charred tomatoes, asparagus, parsley walnut pesto.@cypress see photos that's not risotto it was an herbed rice. When I asked the waitstaff did they not have risotto ? She responded " that's risotto . Risotto is rice."No that's wrong. risotto is a creamy Arborio rice. This was so misleading and it was dry and off tasting. Please cypress fix the glitches. I really want this place to make it. We will go back and give it another try. The wine list is decent but the whole bottle wines are better choices that the by the glass doesn't offer.

I had high expectations for Cypress. The fresh oysters were delicious but everything else lacked flavor. I love supporting "new" restaurants but this one missed the mark. The ambiance was great and customer service, amazing but I wouldn't return.

Unfortunately, my husband and I had underwhelming experience here on a Friday night.We made a reservation but had to wait for 15 minutes to get seated. The waitress showed up 5 to 10 minutes after we got seated. Took her 15 minutes or so to let us know that the bar was "very behind" and thus our drinks would arrive "very soon". It took another 10 minutes until they brought out our drinks.We proceeded with ordering our appetizer- the crab dip - and our entrees - two salads. Took them about 20 minutes to bring out the crab dip, and then another 30 minutes or so for our salads to arrive. The crab dip was ok, a little on the greasy side. The steak on my husband's salad was cold and undercooked. The roasted fig salad I ordered did not have figs, with a tiny serving size, as if it was a side of garden greens.The waitress was apologetic and took both entrees off the final check. She offered to buy us desserts to make up for the wait, by now 1.5 hours. Unfortunately, both my husband and I lost all appetite and hopes on our dinner. We ended up leaving disappointed.

I took three of my girlfriends back to Cypress Restaurant and we had amazing food tonight! We were a little hesitant to order the crabcake sandwich because we are crabcake snobs and it was delicious and I would absolutely get it again! The fries are always good and not drenched in oil. My friend loved the steak and blue cheese salad. I shared the Shobb salad with my friend and it was also amazing. I wish it would've had more shrimp on it, but it was very filling. It comes with the house vinaigrette, but I would recommend the honey vinaigrette instead. The ambience is amazing, the service was top-notch and we are probably going back for New Year's Eve. So yummy!

My 2 kids & BFF went there for an early dinner on Wednesday. Wow!Warm, inviting decor, coupled with fresh, creative seafood dishes!Bravo!!

Overpriced, mediocre food and the menu is all over the place. This restaurant has an identity crisis.

There's only one person that has not been happy with this amazing new restaurant, but I know for a fact that he hates every restaurant he's ever been to. Cypress offers a lovely atmosphere that's elegant but casual. The food is excellent and service is friendly. It's my new favorite restaurant!

We had a great experience at Cypress on Valentine's Day. Staff was friendly and attentive and food was delicious. They have redesigned the interior and the layout is much better than the previous restaurant- not loud. We will be back!
