    Wow! Great find. First visit. Staff FABULOUS! Gabriella and staff made the visit extra special. See our food pics. Drinks super creative and well executed. Even N/A options. Loved the Greek sampler plate (NOT what it's called) ribeye, chicken, beet salad, soup. And oh... don't forget dessert.

    The cutest place in Pullman Washington! Perfect date night spot. We ordered olives for the table, and everyone enjoyed it. We devoured the pita dip in minutes, my favorite was the garlic dip! And man, this carbonara is ginormous!! In the bay, $26 would've gotten me a 1/3 of this size. This was dinner and breakfast for the next day... they also serve fresh baked dinner rolls. Servers were very nice and friendly. Would come back!

    I'm ngl there is nothing in Pullman, WA and I've been DoorDashing mod pizza from Idaho the past few days I've been here, but I found this restaurant and now I can at least saw Pullman has some good carbonara. The lamb chops here were also great. Thanks for putting the city on the map

    We came here for dinner and had a wonderful experience. The food was awesome. So flavorful and beyond our expectations. We savored every bite of our food while enjoying the relaxed vibe of this place. I have no words for the professionalism of the staff. The best service we have ever witnessed. Wiley was our main server and we were very impressed. The team works together really well. We had an amazing night overall. Great food and service. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back.

    I ordered the lasagna and it was a layered masterpiece. The meat sauce was flavorful and not overly greasy. I could taste the herbs in the tomato sauce and the ricotta was creamy and warm. It felt like a home-cooked meal in the best way. The garlic bread on the side was crispy and perfect for dipping. Service was quick and the server checked in at the right times. I left full and happy.

    The Black Cypress never disappoints, rather always exceeds every expectation. It's no wonder that they were nominated for a James Beard in the toughest category of all, Hospitality. Every Cougar Football Weekend dinner here on Friday night is a treasure.

    Such a wonderful restaurant? With excellent customer service! I even left some important work notes, on the table and they called me to arrange getting them back! Plus meal was scrumptious!

    We were sure the James Beard nomination The Black Cypress received just three days before would make a reservation impossible; we were wrong and SO glad we went. The team was as warm, lovely and gracious as the Hospitality nomination would indicate. We were especially impressed at how well versed everyone was on practically every detail of each menu item. Warm and inviting, we started at the bar to wait for our table and had great conversations with several of the bar team who proactively offered us three separate tastes of three wines to ensure my eventual selection was to my liking. The atmosphere is busy but relaxed and lovely--the very vibe we love that supports a nice experience. We were seated in a nice table for two and at the recommendation of the bar team, we started with the clams. Surprisingly, the clams were good sized clams and flavorful. They were nestled with huge chunks of house smoked bacon and swimming in a wine, garlic and kale broth that complimented without overwhelming the clams. Living in Seattle, we eat a LOT of clams; theses are ones to be remembered. Wow. For dinner, Hubby had the carbonara which was luscious and tasty. I had the petit filet mignon topped with foie gras, with an amazing red wine reduction, whipped potatoes and broccolini. Amazing. Rolls were freshly baked and tasted every crumb of it. We split the brownie and ice cream for dessert which is all locally sourced. The tab was surprisingly low for the level of the quality and experience. The high quality of the ingredients is evident. We observed other diners who were obviously enjoying their evening as much as we were. The food was excellent and together with a staff that clearly knows just how to make a guest feel welcome, The Black Cypress just jumped to the top of our list when we go to Pullman. Great service elevates a food experience but it's the result of a lot of hard work and a staff working together as a team. It's obvious to see why The Black Cypress caught the attention of the James Beard Foundation.

    We were in pullman for Graduation ceremony and stopped at Black Cypress w/o having a reservation. We were seated within a few minutes. We LOVED the food. Our waiter was sweet. We finished the pita but had left over dips, so he got extra pita bread. He also got us an order of fresh, hot bread rolls. We ordered Gimlet Cosmo Moon Sprite Pita and dip Lamb chops Seasonal Soup Goat cheese Panna cotta ( it came with orange slices, mint n orange curd) Everything was delicious. I HIGHLY recommend.

    Im only in Pullman a few times a year but I always stop by Black Cypress. Food selection is phenomenal and service is amazing. The menu is pretty varied so you can get anything from steak to pasta to salad. I've had the pork chop multiple times and have no complaints. Definitely get the cheeseboard appetizer. Goes well with a nice drink.

    If you're looking for the best food and service in Pullman, look no further. It is not cheap, however, you get what you pay for.
