    We had a great night at Cypress. We decided to sit outside with the live music and it was awesome! It was so fun. We got the zucchini fries and cheesesteak dumplings for appetizers: they were both great portions and delicious. For dinner we had the pasticho, the scallops, filet mignon and the burrata pizza. The main courses arrived when we had just begun appetizers but it happens. The pizza lacked flavor but everything else was SPOT ON and delicious. We will be back!

    Have been there several times. This time seemed different-music started early at the downstairs bar( 7:00pm) so it was difficult to hear anyone speak. Food was good, but came out so fast we hardly had time to eat our appetizers. My wine glass was filthy as if it was never washed. They offer beer flights, and didn’t have several from their list that my husband ordered. Probably won’t be going back.

    I went there to see the band Rockwell but was very impressed with the outdoor dining and the food. Staff was great. Will be back even without seeing the band.

    Celebrated son’s 21st birthday! Good food with a fun band out on patio. Overall, great time… wouldn’t have hurt if the band was a teeny less loud!

    We had a reservation for 2 @ 5:30pm. Upon arrival, we were told that the only available seating was upstairs or at a high top table or at the bar. My wife & I are 77 and 78, respectively and have mobility issues, which I related to the hostess and manager. No accommodation was made for us, and we left. (We were told that the tables at the lower level were "reserved for the band" (quote is accurate). We left disappointed and understanding that despite our age and limitations, no one was willing to make accommodations. It is unclear whether we'd consider returning.
