“ This is a very good restaurant in a luxury hotel. It's a Mediterranean theme. We had falafel and lamb, a burger, and the Caesar salad. Everything was well done and enjoyable. The secret on the menu is the Turkish coffee. Something you don't find often and it's authentic! Great atmosphere. Spotlessly clean and friendly service. ”
“ Excellent service, beautiful ambiance and delicious food! I love the colors, decor and all the greenery with the hanging plants throughout the restaurant. We dined early on a Sunday evening (holiday weekend) and got seated at the bar which has comfortable chairs. (This is an important detail as you get older and require proper seating to enjoy drinks or a meal, lol). We ordered drinks and the mezze plate with fries to start. And honestly that could have been our meal. But because we had just come from wine tasting we decided to order entrees as well. I got the grilled shrimp with polenta and my husband had the shawarma with a salad & fries. The food was beautiful, fresh and very tasty. Highly recommend! ”
“ Service is great, staff are friendly and knowledgeable about Mediterranean food and wine pairings. My wife and I shared the Mezza and the Mediterranean burger (lamb and beef). First, the Mezza was a nice sampling of hummus, muhammara , Lebneh, pickled veggies with pita bread. The muhammara stole the show, but all samples were excellent. The Mediterranean burger was great, as well. The feta cheese on the burger was a nice touch. The burger was seasoned with a hint of nutmeg. Depending on how you like your burger, it's cooked well done, so ask if you want something different. Excellent choice as well. Megan is an awesome mixologist and selected my wine...perfect. My wife enjoyed a martini (Grey Goose). We will definitely return. ”
“ We really enjoyed our lunch at Cypress! Our server Michelle was so friendly and attentive. The food was fresh, flavors were spot on and the ambiance left us feeling invigorated! The fried cheese and frozen old-fashioned cocktail were a hit! The manager Michael made us feel so welcome and we will definitely be back! Thank you all!!!!! ”
“ I had the chicken shawarma and it was really tasty. Comes with a huge order of fries. Also available in lamb. Cute place located in a historic boutique hotel. Cool vibe. Service was decent. Food came outvtimelt ”
“ Solid choice for a healthy dinner. The couscous salad had great flavor with cucumbers and tomatoes. The hummus was super tasty and good sized portion for sharing - get an extra pita bread. They ran out of chicken kabobs but comped me the remaining one. Dessert was a very sumptuous baklava. Service was excellent. ”
“ The food was so good we had to come twice in 3 days while on vacation in McMinnville, once for dinner and once for breakfast!! You will not be disappointed if Mediterranean cuisine is your jam. Service, decor, and ambiance were an additional nice touch to both meal experiences! For dinner, we shared the Meze plate, falafel, fries, parsley salad, and rose water sorbet. For breakfast, two of us got the 2 eggs anyway and I got the ful mudammas. We thought the falafel were perfect - a bit smaller than normal and tapered at the ends which we think allowed for a perfect crispy exterior. The meze plate had a good assortment of everything. The olives were very tasty! Fries were definitely too salty for all of us, but we did enjoy the condiments. We all loved breakfast, the eggs and potatoes were good and I loved the flavors in the ful mudammas. ”
“ We had an incredible meal here! We came in on a quiet Tuesday evening. We made reservations, which is a good idea because it's not a large space. The space itself is gorgeous! I just love the wall paper, fans, and plants, a really lovely vibe. I really loved the Mezze Plate, the beets and the muhammara were the standouts for me. It was the perfect way to start the meal. The charred carrots were absolute perfection. I loved the carrots and swiping our fries through the cheese the carrots were on was the best idea I had that night. We also loved the cauliflower with the bright and zesty sauce. It's fried, but you almost wouldn't know it because it's somehow still light at the same time. The chicken kebab were so moist and juicy. They were beautiful with some warm fluffy pita bread. Every single thing we ate was delicious! My absolute favorite part of the meal was the semolina and orange cake. It was warm, delicate, flavorful, and so well balanced. It's one of those things that you think about for days after you eat it. You definitely shouldn't skip dessert here. Stunning meal and wonderful service. I can't wait to come back! ”
“ Service was top notch even outside on picnic tables! Staff was super cute all dolled up for UFO fest and made sure we had what we needed. Dog friendly space lots of fresh air! Great peach kombucha with baklava!! And a Greek yogurt parfait side by side strawberry and raspberry fresh and well plated !! So good. Topped with granola for texture. Stop in the door and see the walk about snack items with great beverage choices too. Must go back for dinner looks very inviting ”
