For those of you WSU students with a more sophisticated taste for good food and fine wine, Black Cypress located on Main Street in downtown Pullman is definitely your scene. Their small, yet exquisite menu offers food items unlike anywhere else in Pullman.
What is Their Menu Like?
Their menu is full of mainly Greek-style food, and the owner even cooked in Greece! Appetizers range from $4 - $11, not bad at all, especially for the quality. Some items on their appetizer list are Souvlakia (pork skewers) (7), clams (11) and the good ol' (but much better) Caesar salad (5/8). Entrees start off at a measly $11 for the pomodora (a better version of spaghetti) or with meatballs for $14. The last time I visited, I ordered the myzithra and mushrooms, which was a pasta with brown butter, myzithra cheese and mushrooms (13). It was to die for. But if you're not much of a pasta person there are also a variety of meat as well. Lamb chops (21) or pork chops (19), New York or rib eye steak (24), roasted chicken (19) or grilled tofu (14). Needless to say, there are many items to choose from!

Bring on the Drinks!
The Black Cypress offers some of the most original and mouth-watering cocktails I've seen on the Palouse. They definitely have a little something for everyone; and the great part is, each one is between $7 - $8, what a steal! My personal favorites are the arlo and mojito, and you can check out the whole cocktail list on their website at www.theblackcypress.com to see what's in every magical cocktail. There are even great whiskey, gin, rum and Bourbon cocktails on the list: I know where I'm taking my dad for dad's weekend! For those of you wine connoisseurs out there, Black Cypress is a great place to go for fabulous wine. They offer great local wines from Washington, Oregon and California, and also wine from all over the world. They even have my favorite wine, Maryhill Pinot Gris from the Columbia valley!
