Do you have plans to visit Tallahassee, Florida in the near future? Maybe you'll be driving through on your way to visit Mickey and Minnie? Any venture that takes you through Tallahassee should include a stop at Cypress Restaurant for dinner. The orchestrated evening starts immediately as you enter the front door. The inside is decorated well, with a calming effect that is totally conducive to an ultimate dining experience.
We were celebrating a birthday for a very special lady, so we were there to enjoy the evening. I was amused (and impressed) with the layout of their menu. It was divided in sections labeled: LITTLE DISH (appetizers and salads), BOWLS (soups) and BIG DISH (entrees). We ordered a couple of appetizers, specials of the day: Foie Gras and Oysters. For entrees, we ordered Pan-Seared Mangrove Snapper, Sugar Cane Mopped Ribeye, some other fish specials of the day, and the Grilled Lobster Tail Paella. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal, I especially relished the Paella.
Our server, Jonathan, was fantastic! He was quick to answer any questions and was very nice to suggest items to all of us. He steered me in the right direction for sure (Paella). He even made sure that our special birthday lady was given a beautiful birthday dessert. All of this, with flawless presentation! If you have the opportunity to dine at this establishment, please request Jonathan. You'll have a wonderful dining experience.
They are located at:
