"My husband and I had a lovely time at Cypress for his birthday dinner. This was our first time at the restaurant and we were very surprised at how spacious it was inside. We were immediately greeted and shown to our table which was decorated with confetti! A lovely little gesture to start our evening. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. She was attentive but didn 't hover, which we really appreciate. She suggested a few cocktails off the drink menu which turned out to be great. The food was very good. We started with the Grouper Cheeks and Pan Fried Quail little dishes . The grouper cheeks were tender and fried perfectly. The quail was cooked equally as well and came on a tasty bed of root vegetables with a delicious glaze or sauce. I will say that while the grouper was a nice size portion, the quail was definitely a little little dish . For our entrees, my husband ordered the grouper paella and I tried the hanger steak. We were both very happy with the cook on our fish and steak (perfect medium) and the overall dishes. However, they were jussst toeing the line of being oversalted. If 5 is perfectly seasoned and 10 is oversalted, our entrees were maybe a 7 (perhaps an 8 for his fish). We both much prefer aggressively seasoned food over bland food and we still enjoyed our meals, so we didn 't see a reason to complain. In all, we had a lovely time for our first visit. Next time, we will try to save room for dessert!"
