Cypress is excited to launch a new bar menu from James Beard Award nominated chef Craig Deihl. Offering guests an innovative take on traditional bar fare, Cypress’ latest selections include something for all palates. New items include Fried Apalachicola Oysters, Chicken Fried Steak, Smoked Chicken with Alabama white sauce, and the Big Dog—Chef Deihl’s creative take on a hot dog.
For those looking for an after-work snack, the bar at the East Bay Street restaurant— which recently celebrated its 15th anniversary—also showcases a selection of specialty offerings Sunday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. With items such as Charcuterie & Wine (chef’s selection of cooked, cured and smoked meats with a choice of select wines – $35) and a Shellfish Platter and Wine (raw oysters, cocktail shrimp, tuna tonnato and ceviche with a choice of select wines – $45), 5p.m. never sounded so good!
