Cypress Lounge & Wine Bar

Only thing I can say is "FRESH, HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES! Not frozen, commercially made fries, but fries from an actual fresh potato, made up in the restaurant (I asked), by hand. They are really, really good.

The fries come with some funky sauce but I'm a traditionalist and always go for ketchup instead.

It was a lazy sunday - our party of 6 decided to enjoy Happy hour here. Despite having all day Happy Hour specials on Sunday, the place was NOT crowded at all.

We seated ourselves and the server bought us iced water shortly. The ambiance was great for a causal catch-up session with friends. However, the service was very slow. Our food took about 20-30mins to arrive after we ordered. The server tried to be friendly but seems in a world of her own - we told her our orders, she didn't write it down and we got to wait for her to get paper&pen and repeat our orders again. Besides that, a glass of ice water slipped and fell from her hand - she did pick up the larger glass pieces but there were still some glass pieces on the floor, hope she will deal with them after we leave

Food was alright. The Happy hour prices were pretty good. We thought the rustic bread was HUGE for $4.50 - this is very filling. Crab cakes, served in 2 pieces for $8 was generously stuffed with crabmeat. The fries were crispy, not spectacular. It is surprising that with only a handful of people in the restaurant, the food took a while to come and it was only warm, not hot.  

I feel that the drinks selection for happy hour is quite limited. There were only 3 special cocktails on the menu to choose from. As they were out of lavender that day, only 2 drinks to choose from. I didn't try any

I don't think I will come back . Then again, maybe i would, IF I am with a large group and we can't find a place to chill out

Happy hour prices are good, half off the small plates menu. We had the tuna, crab cakes and rustic bread and all three were quite tasty. Service was a little slow and the place itself doesn't have a lot of ambiance. Good for a casual meeting.
