Cyprus Grille

Fantastic chicken quesadilla and fried onion rings! The service from Belinda was great! It was the best meal we had all week!

The Cyprus restaurant, at least the menu they show online appears to be no more. They told me this evening the plan is to close it and remove signage and make it for private events. They do have a limited bar menu and I'm lazy and don't feel like driving anymore today so I'll enjoy a burger and the company of the wait staff who are doing the best they can.

Bottom Line:Good food, attentive staff, quiet environ for conversation, nice decor. Price was decent for a nice night out. Good spot for a date night dinner.Top Line:I ordered the $18 steak fajita platter and a gin & tonic. Companions ordered the prosecco chicken salad. Salads were huge & got good marks for flavor. Easily enough to call it a meal.Fajita serving looked a little skimpy on the sizzle platter with the attendant bell peppers & sauteed onions. But they proved to be about enough for a meal by the time I used the accompanying steaming hot tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, & sour cream to taco'fy them. The piece of sweet corn that came along for company was extremely tender and its cheese breading was busting out with flavor.I asked that the bartender make me "the best gin & tonic he could possibly make - give me his best pour". The G&T I got was merely okay. I expect the gin was Tanqueray or Bombay. Nothing exceptional. Pretty much in line with well gin from most joints around town. If you're a G&T fan of complex tastes, I refer you to Artichoke Cafe (Los Luceros Hacienda gin) or Farina Alto pizzeria (Monkey 47 gin) for a couple of the better pours I've had in the Duke City.The dining space at Cypress Grill was *VERY* quiet. Conversation at table was conducted in normal low volume voices with no straining to hear. The nine story tall open atrium that serves as the dining area, coupled with carpeted floor, a bit of greenery, and upholstered seating, soaked up pretty much all ambient noise. Even conversations from next adjacent tables didn't register as intrusive or noisy.Our waiter (Benny, if I read my check correctly) was very attentive, courteous, and super responsive to requests for additional items. He was an exemplary server, checking back periodically to insure all was going well and we had no need of anything.I will keep Cypress Grill at the Embassy Suites on my radar for repeat visits when I want a quietly elegant venue for dinner with local compadres or out of town guests.

Came here during Hampton Restaurant Week. The restaurant only had a handful of people in the dining room during that time. I was surprised at how slow the service was initially. It took a long time for a server to even take our drink orders. After hour first course, our server was more present but not quite as attentive as I would've liked.Fortunately, the food was delicious and the servings were generous. I ordered the Deconstructed Chicken Cordon Bleu, which was a very interesting take on the classic dish. You can never go wrong with pork belly. My friend selected the Shrimp and Grits which were much bigger than we anticipated. I've seen the head chef on a few local news programs, so I would consider coming back.

This is inside of the embassy suites, which I wasStaying at. Went down for dinner, decided on the steak. There were only two other people eating here, took 10 minutes for someone to come over to give me a water and take my order. Steak came out under cooked, was never asked how I liked it or even to get more water. I had to chase someone down for the bill. Steak was good, even undercooked. Service was horrible. This is embassy suites, I expect better.

This hotel offers an excellent menu with Southern Cooking at its core. I ordered a fried. Chicken sandwich that my Grandma would be proud to say was her own. It was crispy, succulent perfection, and I savored every bite. This sandwich was accompanied a side of delicious sweet potato fries that brought this country fried masterpiece to a yummy conclusion. Although this grille is located in a hotel, it offers more than your average hotel fare. Another reason the Hampton Euro Suites rocks to the max.

Great experience. The food was great, customer service was on point. No complaints here. Order the pan seared scallops. Everything was fresh. Will be returning soon.

I can't tell you how their steaks were but I was thoroughly impressed with their double bacon burger. I often ask for ridiculous things like no bun, sauce on the side, etc. All of my wishes were met and the food was great. The only complaint was that the parties were small but at least there were two! Sweet potato wedges were delightful!

We had a large group during lunch time, so I have to give a pass for refills, and a lack of attentiveness from my server. That said I was pleasantly surprised that the food was really good. I had Nana's buttermilk chicken sandwich. I don't always trust everybody's "nana" to make good fried chicken, but this was really good. My friends had the crab cake sandwich, which I tasted. It was excellent. I expected the crab cake to be good in his area, but was surprised and happy about the fried chicken. When I'm back in the area, I will be back. The only thing I can't take is when my plate isn't cleared after I'm done. Otherwise, excellent experience.

I was here for a conference. The food was very delicious. I had the ribeye steak. It was cooked to perfection.
