Cypress

They really trying. No complains about quality of the ingredients.  But...
They need to hire a real cook who knows how to use those ingredients.
Salad with watermelon and onion a strange alliance. As well presentation of watermelon rind - looks... hm... strange.
Duck - I love duck, but men, - you really should know how to cook it. 50% of duck was fatty skin. And please stop adding chopped onion to every  dish - it's not a Mexican cousin.
Desert - interesting idea - but why someone would want his desert to be cooked by waiter  right near his table (cloth is going to smell after that ;).

Cypress has turned their happy hour into a sad hour.

The $1 small bites still remain (fries, mussels, green beans) but now their mojitos are somewhere around $17 a pitcher.  The mojitos are really weak and worth $10 but for $17 I'd rather drink beer.

Stupid move by Cypress.  Plan your happy hour so that you can still make money because if you keep it the same but double the prices you are going to lose regular customers.

When it first started the sliders were cheaper, they had a great St.Germain cocktail and the mojitos were a good price.  It seems like they wanted to lure people in and make some buzz before turning into an overpriced trendy restaurant with mediocre food (like most other new american restaurants in WC).

Oh well, if the happy hour reverts back I'll update my review.

So......I have been to Cypress several times, last time I was there I vowed not to return since the service and food lacked , then I found out that the lady that was the Chef (Claudia)was no longer there ..... before that we could feel her passion through the beautifully presented dishes.... Now I was talked into returning by some friends for a quick bite , well big mistake !!!! Now not even Rick the owner is there any more !
So the service again lack luster ....and the food well ....Oysters fishy , crab cakes greasy  ..... not that good. My question is there anybody that cares there? Me thinks not!
