We’re locals who made a reservation a week or more in advance on open table for Sun 6:30. We were on time only to be told the restaurant is closed on Sundays! Why aren’t the hours for accepting reservations correct? Why didn’t staff address this when the reservation came in? It was taco night for hotel guests only!

Awful. We made our reservation for four, turned up on time and learned the restaurant is not open on Sunday! WHY would this app enable us to make a reservation outside business operating hours? WHY was our reservation not reviewed by the restaurant and addressed well ahead of time? Simple courtesies....we will not be going back. Also now have little trust in this app.

We stayed at Island Vista Resort for 10 days, and one of the highlights of our trip was spending time at The Cypress Room restaurant. We had such an amazing experience—especially thanks to one of the bartenders, Lexi. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, learning all our names and remembering our preferences. Every time she was working, we felt like part of the family. Her warm personality and outstanding service made our vacation even more special.
The only reason I’m not giving it even more stars is because Lexi isn’t there all the time—if she were, we’d be there every day without question! If you’re visiting Island Vista, make sure to stop by The Cypress Room when Lexi is working—you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful evening by the ocean, the loudest sounds was the waves. It was great food and beautiful atmosphere.

Could’ve been so great, but entrees were not cooked correctly. Came here using the gift card we were given from our hotel stay. Appetizer was delicious (mushroom flatbread). We ordered the Ribeye and Pork Chop for our entrees. Ribeye had no sear and was very bland. Pork Chop was very pink and underdone. I let them know. They sent it back to the chef and he confirmed it wasn’t cooked. Instead of refunding me for the uncooked (and dangerous) pork, they gave us two free desserts. They still made us pay for the pork chop even though I only ate a couple bites because I was concerned about its safety. The desserts came (crème brûlée and strawberry tart) and the crème filling on both was watery and seemed underdone as well. Ambiance and table service here was outstanding but the cooking was concerning and unsafe. Very disappointed.

Best restaurant in Myrtle Beach! Everything: good, ambience and service are outstanding! The music too!

Food was fabulous. We had the Wahoo couscous with the garlic aioli. We so enjoyed the sounds of the ocean while dining on the veranda in addition the music of Glen Taylor. Brooks did a phenomenal job!

Great food, great service, and an excellent atmosphere for fine dining.
Sonja
We reserved a table through open table. We were not told that Sunday night there was a limited menu of only fried chicken plates. We had an overall very disappointing experience. We will not go there again.

We eat here every year while staying at Island Vista. Breakfast and service were excellent. Dinner however was nothing to brag about. Steaks were tasteless. Other meals were mediocre. The female staff were attentive. The lead waiter was more into jokes than attentive or knowledgeable service. The restaurant was convenient but we will think twice next year before dining there for dinner
Michael greeted us when arrived at the restaurant, suggesting that we take an outside table. Then we were on way to a wonderful evening and fabulous dinner. Thank you to everyone who attended to our with such a professional touch. We will be back when we are back in the area.👍

I have been staying at the island vista since I was a toddler. One of my favorite things about the resort is the cypress room. Every year on vacation I eat breakfast with Terry and Stella. These two servers are phenomenal, and probably some of the sweetest people you will ever meet. They always take the time to come say hello, give hugs, and compliment us. I’m so pleased I’ve gotten to know them over the years and they both recognize me when I come in. If you ever eat here, either ask for Terry or Stella. As for the food, the food is amazing. The breakfast is always consistent with good quality and if you’re a sweet tea lover, their sweet tea is done very well. It’s always a delight to eat here. I recommend it, 100%.

We had a delicious meal with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food was so good and I'm so happy they have vegan and vegetarian options. Our waiter was very good and we plan to go back soon.

Enjoyed a wonderful elegant dinner this evening with our two daughters. It was the perfect evening with very attentive wait staff. From the moment you walk through the doors you are treated like a vip right from the start. Love the dining by the ocean outdoors it was such a nice touch to end our last evening here and the food was wonderful as were the drinks we had! 10/10 thank you for making our vacation a memorable one!
