The menu was interesting and offered a lot of variety...seafood, stuffed quail, beef tenderloin, and more. One of us ordered from the Restaurant Week menu and was not disappointed, the other chose a soup, salad and entree all from the appetizers menu. Then came the piece de resistance--pecan pie turnover..using phyllo dough with a pecan pie filling and wonderful icecream.... More

My husband and I went to Cypress last night for the first time for our wedding anniversary and we were so impressed! We would definitely order the Rib Eye again, and the Southern Pecan Pie Turnover was absolutely to die for. An absolute must! Great setting and Great service too!

I feel badly about this review. The locals supposedly love this restaurant. It is much nicer than one might guess from the outside. I just found the food not great and the portions small for the price. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of person and That might explain it. maybe thats not their forte. but iI I thought the... More

I love this cafe, the menu changes, so every visit i make - it is always something different to choose from. The chef knows how to put ingredients together that all complement each other, and the place is almost always full (so make a booking). The menu states small plates (appetizers) or Big plates (Entrees), so you get to decide... More

If you are a "foodie" - even if it isn't cool to call yourself that anymore, you will love this place. Excellent locally sourced seafood, meats and veggies, one of my favorites in Tallahassee.

I love this restaurant. Sweet potato fries are great, crab cakes fabulous, really everything I've ever had there is great. My husband loves their hamburgers, which you can only order in the bar.

Visited this restaurant on 2/14/13. Was busy so we sat near the bar. Party of four. Took ten minutes for someone to bring us water and take drink orders. I noticed the bartender was trying to tend bar, fill drink orders for all servers, but also serve 5 tables within the bar. That doesn't work. We suffered because of it.... More

Cypress has sat at the top of Tallahassee's restaurant leader board since it opened years and years ago, and it's still one of the very best. Where else in town can I regularly find foie gras as a special? Sage, maybe...? Anyway, David Gwynn does a helluva job (he's Tallahassee's only CIA trained chef, I think) -- and having peaked...
