My family came here at noon on a Thursday. It was not crowded at all, but slowly got more busy over the course of two hours. Most of their tables are half booth, half chairs. The service was fast. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I had the cypress bowl with falafel - the falafel was crisp, and the homemade pita and hummus were particularly yummy and flavorful. My grandma got the Mediterranean burger - their house ketchup is spectacular and flavored with allspice and cinnamon. Their dessert options all sounded amazing - the the triple chocolate mousse was rich and perfect to split as a little sweet treat between four people. We each got a few bites. read more

Walked in without a reservation for dinner on a Wednesday and had no problem getting seated! Experienced great service that embodies what you think of as the hospitality from a nice mediterranean restaurant yet threaded through with family vibes The brussel sprouts with lemon toum were crispy, tart, and a textural sensation. Great size for sharing. Which seems to be consistent with regards to their portions. The seasonal salad was large. And the pasta special (sugo orechiette) was also large! Everything was fresh and tasty read more

Wow, wow, wow. First let me say that I love all Mediterranean food, even bad med, but this was not an amazing meal with great service start to finish! Everything from the mezze to the Greek salad to the kebabs to the hummus were on point. We weren't even hungry going into this and ended up ordering way too much food because it all looked so dang yummy! The only minor complaint is that they don't serve baba ghanoush. Our waitress mentioned that they get asked for it a lot and said that it is too much work. I didn't love this response but I will say everything that cypress does is made with great care and high quality. Not sure why they don't serve anything with eggplant on their menu but this is a very small complaint! read more

Tasty brunch spot in the heart of McMinnville. This is located on the corner and shared space with Atticus Hotel. The even have service outside at the picnic tables. Service was top notch and attentive. If you can make reservations because the seating is limited. They do have some seating at the bar. Mediterranean food done right, very flavorful. Prices a bit on the higher side so plan accordingly. read more

Ended up coming here for lunch. When we arrived we were the only ones there but it did eventually fill up. Really cute atmosphere. We started with the mezza plate. The labneh was gold. Don't see it on too many plates but I don't get why not. Yummy hummus. Nice silky texture and good flavor. Definitely tops. Dolmas were good. The innards were a little soft but it didn't taste like can. So that's a plus. We got the falafel. I like the texture. Not too soft. A little crispiness. I like the surface area ratio. The only bummer was the lamb kebab. Over cooked and pretty tough. Regretting ordering it. The carrots were awesome. A must order. Once we had finished them. We dipped in the labneh and the dregs of the carrots. Oh yeah. That's the stuff. Winner. I wanted the gyro but in my opinion a good gyro is a private thing. Maybe another time for takeout. read more

Meh, def not worth it. Terrible service mediocre food. Clearly not made from scratch.

We wanted to like Cypress, but, boy, they couldn't get out of their own way. We had a reservation (for four adults) which we confirmed earlier that day from their text prompt. We arrived on time, and they shared that they didn't have our table ready. They invited us to sit in their waiting area (the lobby of the hotel they're attached to) while our table was becoming free. They offered to get us drinks from the bar while we waited and that alone took 20 minutes. Five minutes later (25 minutes AFTER our reservation time), we were brought to our table. Needless to say, we were disappointed. We were put at a high top table on a side shoot of the restaurant. Not only was it next to their bar service station, but also next to the self-service fridge for anyone to access. Our server then rushed us and became borderline pushy as we ordered various plates (there was no request we put our order in all at once or that we had a designated time duration at our table). We got the halloumi special (smaller portion than expected), olives (came out warm which was a nice touch), and lamb and chicken kebobs (one each; the chicken was super dry). We forwent the dessert since we felt nothing was drastically going to improve. All in all, not a great meal or experience which was a big bummer. read more

I can't say ENOUGH great things about the experience at Cypress, the staff, the space, the food - 5 stars all around! We had a private dinner at the restaurant and the event exceeded all expectations! Here are the highlights: Food: Incredible. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was on point and delicious. The stars of the show were the Burrata salad (the flavors exploded in your mouth), the Grilled Bavette (with the outstanding yukon potatoes), and the decadent Flourless Chocolate Torte. Big shout out to Travis, the head chef, who personalized the menu for us and engaged with guests Staff: Amazing. Everyone was super customer focused, from the bartenders to the wait staff - flawless hospitality. Extra thanks to Ben, the manager, for his hands on approach with planning, coordinating and ensuring not only a special space, but a special night. Space: Classy. The inside space is stylish, sophisticated and had personalized touches for our event. What really impressed us is how the team accommodated our last minute request to alfresco dining and still provided a sleek and refined ambiance. read more

My wife and I took an overnight trip to Mcminnville area and I searched for somewhere nice that we could eat. I came upon Cypress and although the menu seemed limited at first, their options were all intriguing. We set a reservation for 5:30 on a Saturday. When we walked in there was only one older gentleman in the whole place so we were greeted promptly and sat immediately. I was wondering that since no one was there, that I perhaps made a mistake. That was NOT the case. Plants lined the ceiling and the bar and made the space beautiful and inviting. Very nice ambiance! We started with a special appitizer, Halloumi cheese and sweet potatoes. Oh man, absolutely incredible flavor and texture. That season and sauce on these were spectacular. If they are offer this, get it! We then had their seasonal salad which also was fantastic! Light and flavorful and we ate every bite. She got the salmon and I got the short rib and a side of brussel sprouts to share. All were incredible. The flavor experience here is off the charts. We kept saying how amazing the meal was all throughout the evening. I had 2 old fashions and my beauty had 2 paper planes. Both cocktails were far above average. They were excellent! You can't have a great overall experience without a fantastic server. Harmony was amazing! She checked in on us regularly ensuring everything was good and filling our waters. By this time the place was filling up with guests but we still had the same level of service. Thank you, Harmony. The pricing is what you would expect for an amazing meal. It was just over $200 including top for 4 drinks, 2 entrees, 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 1 side. It was so worth it! This was an incredible meal that my wife and I really enjoyed! Thank you, Harmony and thank you Cypress. Don't you go anywhere. We will be back next time we are down this way. read more

We had another fantastic lunch at Cypress today. We ordered the lamb gyro and the Mediterranean burger--both were perfectly cooked and really flavorful. Service was attentive and friendly without being over the top (if you know, you know). The restaurant is clean and has an airy, welcoming feel, especially with all the foliage throughout. My only suggestion would be for the manager to stop by each table at least once to check in. Otherwise, Cypress is absolutely our go-to spot when we're craving great Greek food. read more

The meal was fantastic, a multitude of taste, creating a proverbial party in our mouths! Harmony, Travis and Ben were above and beyond accommodating! The special halloumi dish was truly special! read more

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! read more

This place is absolutely incredible! Every single dish we tried blew us away. We started with the Mezze plate, which was the perfect opener--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For our mains, we had the hangar steak and the seared salmon, and both were truly outstanding. We added the seasonal salad and the beets on the side, and they were just as delicious. We finished with the house‑made ice cream, which was unbelievably fresh and creamy. The service was fantastic, the ambiance was warm and inviting, and the food was genuinely out of this world. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We came by after trying two other restaurants. One was not open on Tuesdays the next had a grease pit fire and were closed for the day. I asked the fellow at the second place for a reco and he gave us Cyprus. It is is the center of McMinnville and we parked right out front. We had been traveling all day from the East Coast and just wanted an early meal before bed. We arrived 545pm with a reservation and were seated promptly. The place was not crowded. It is in the Atticus Hotel and the ambiance is clean and spartan. A bar with 8 seats is in the dining area which has about table 10 tables most of which are by the windows overlooking the sidewalk. It is touted as Mediterranean but to us it seemed more middle eastern. We got the lamb with hummus and a few pitas. Then a couscous and a salad. They were very good and we realized after we ordered Lamb chops as our next course that we were getting full quickly. By this time the place was getting crowded. We took the lamb back to the Inn where we are staying and it was great the next day. This place is worth a stop. Mark & Nancy. read more

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. read more

Dinner is exceedingly expensive and much tastier versions can be found at food carts for much cheaper. $22 for a shawarma sandwich? Also kind of an odd shawarma, I usually think of wraps as having thinner lavash style bread. This was a pita folded in half like a taco with fillings. The mama's little peppers were odd and didn't add much to the sandwich either. Comes with fries and a small salad. The sandwich needed a lot more flavor. Also had a cocktail, which was kind of meh. I don't know. Thought it would be much tastier based on the glowing reviews. read more

Sitting here now taking in the tasteful updates to the physical space. Light tonal blue hues grounded by wood and metal aspects. Floral and light, a great open space. Attentive and friendly service, simplistic menu. Less simplistic wine list, pretty deep and compliments both the area and the menu offerings, but not overbearing in price or selection. Menu is approachable from both the casual and full dinning experience levels. Kudos on that, to allows to come in for a more casual stop. All good- come experience it for yourself. read more

What an amazing jewel! The moment our culinary guide met us at the table, we were taken on a tour of the menu, techniques of preparation, origins and inspiration behind the restaurant. Our level of hunger was low but after her guiding of their gastronomy, we were hard pressed to choose. We asked for suggestions that would inspire a second, third and fourth return to explore the menu. She had us sold with the mezze plate, charred /roasted carrots and two zero-proof beverages. A magnificent playlist, gorgeous tile, beautiful textures of wood and etched glass. Each element of the aesthetics considered and captured to enhance and harmonize with the experience of their elegantly inspired menu. On our way out the door, I opted for a simple shot of espresso. It couldn't have been better. A local coffee roaster, medium/light roast, perfectly extracted. Every detail of their care was on point. This is where inspired travelers will find quintessential delight. read more

Great place in the beautiful Atticus Hotel! Loved all the options that they had that arnt always available at other places - lamb, duck eggs, and more. Everything was prepared fresh and we loved all our of dishes. We got oatmeal for our baby which was delicious! We also had the duck egg omelet with a side of bacon (the bacon was overdone and we didn't think was worth the price) and the shakshuka with a side of lamb and pita. Do yourself a favor and get a side of their pita bread! So delicious! Another bonus was that they actually had good coffee. You know it will be good when coffee comes out with late art at a brunch spot. read more

Beautiful little restaurant in the Atticus Hotel. As you walk in they have a cozy bar area. We were greeted immediately and sat in the bar which we requested. The drink list was well balanced and affordable. I love gin so I ordered Roses Are Free. It had Lewis and Clark gin, Aperol, rose syrup, grapefruit, lemon, Prosecco and garnished with a rose bud, served up in a coupe Gorgeous drink, delicious and very easy to drink. My husband had a Walnut City Old Fashioned- Random bourbon, muddled orange, Amerena cherry, walnut bitters, raw sugar and a splash of ginger beer. Served in a rocks glass with one big cube. It was a classic delicious old fashioned with a very slight finger kick. We will be back for lunch or dinner soon! read more

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. read more
