Cypress Restaurant

Nestled within the vibrant Chances RimRock Casino at 4890 Cherry Creek Rd, Cypress Restaurant offers a welcoming and refined dining experience that stands out in Port Alberni’s culinary scene. This cozy yet sophisticated spot is ideal for guests seeking a calm ambiance away from the usual hustle—low lighting and comfortable seating create an inviting space where you can truly relax and savor each bite.

Cypress Restaurant brings a diverse menu that expertly balances classic comfort foods with elevated twists. Their Prime Rib Special, especially popular on Friday and Saturday evenings, is a must-try: an 8 oz slow-roasted AAA beef, tender and juicy, served with savory vegetables, rich mashed potatoes, and fluffy Yorkshire pudding—a heartwarming feast that feels both indulgent and satisfying. As Logan Vachon emphatically put it, it's "the best restaurant in town!"

For those who appreciate a variety of flavors, the pork loin schnitzel crisps up with an irresistible golden crust, while the Caesar Salad topped with lobster tails elevates a beloved classic into a luxurious starter. The Cypress Salad with prawns and the Blackened Chicken and Ribs add layers of bold, smoky seasoning and freshness, making it a versatile menu suited to diverse palates.

This restaurant’s dessert offerings are equally compelling. The Cheese Cake melts silky on the tongue, while the Apple Crumble paired with salted caramel ice cream delivers a warm, comforting finish that blends sweetness and a hint of salt in perfect harmony—an indulgence you won’t soon forget. And if you enjoy a playful twist, don’t miss the deep-fried ice cream dessert praised by many patrons.

Price-wise, Cypress strikes a thoughtful balance: generous portions and quality ingredients come with moderate pricing, making it accessible for both casual dinners and special occasions. As Dylan B noted, the mashed potatoes are robust with flavor, showcasing the kitchen’s attention to detail, though some dishes like the cordon bleu show room for personalization depending on your preference for savory depth.

Whether you're winding down after a day of exploring or enjoying an evening out, Cypress Restaurant offers an alluring combination of comfort food mastery and approachable elegance. Its unique setting within a lively casino, coupled with thoughtful lighting and an attentive atmosphere, makes every visit a memorable and refreshing experience.
