Romantic dinner with my wife. EVERYTHING was excellent. Lavender martini is exquisite and the oysters a great appetizer. We shared the lamb and the desserts were all outstanding. Go.

Truly only have positive things to say about Cypress. The wait staff was attentive from start to finish. The ambiance was wonderful and chic. Started with the brie salad which was delicious, as was the wasabi crusted tuna I had. That was truly out of this world, as were the cocktails. Only giving this a 4 out of 5 instead... More

I was born and raised in Charleston, so I have had the chance to try most restaurants at some point in time. I recently (4/2013) had the opportunity to eat at Cypress. I can't wait to go back! Everyone in my party LOVED their food and I have been raving about it ever since. I ordered the tuna and it... More

Cypress offers stylish surroundings and outstanding service, although in both regards they seem to trying a bit too hard. The menu was more limited, in a manner that is consistent with a fine dining establishment but a little more so than I expected. The one or two "low country" specialties that I noticed but I wasn't in the mood for... More

Great atmosphere and amazing food at Cypress. They have an enormous wine collection and our waiter was very knowledgeable and a great salesman. The Butter Lettuce salad with bacon jam is a must!

Could not have picked a better experience for my 50th birthday celebration. Service and food were both incredible. Coosaw oysters were the best I've ever had. Bacon jam on the Bibb lettuce salad was remarkable. Don't leave without trying the pimento cheese/pepper jelly appetizer. Hit of the night was the Lavendar Martini. Amazing!

We spent a delightful Birthday evening at Cypress. I am generally impressed when you arrive at a crowded and popular restaurant on time for your reservation and the table is ready... despite the crowd. Good floor management!! These guys set the standard. All the food was great. Emily, our waitperson, was delightful. For the most part we stayed with low... More

We came here knowing that this restaurant is from the same group as Magnolias were we loved the food but wasn't too kid friendly. Cypress has the same quality food and it works really good for families... I loved their food and my kids loved the restaurant too.
