Local Food Finds | Restaurant Highlight: Cypress

March 4, 2025 by Sarah Amyot

by Sarah Amyot and Sandy Biello

Your weekly dose of some cool food and dining finds around town!

Have a suggestion? We’d love to hear from you – submit it HERE!

Cypress is one of Severna Park’s newest dining destinations, offering a menu of elevated yet approachable dishes. Inspired by the iconic cypress trees of Severna Park, the restaurant serves a diverse selection of flavors—from fresh seafood to comforting classics, making sure there’s something for everyone. Housed in the former Sullivan’s Cove location, Cypress boasts a sleek, modern interior with stylish furnishings. The restaurant also features a Monday through Friday happy hour, showcasing $10 appetizers like Oysters Rockefeller, salmon bites, crabby fries, short rib fries, and caprese avocado salad, alongside $6 Anchor wines, $2 off draft beers, and refreshing drink specials. Cypress is date-night friendly and family-friendly, offering highchairs, a kids’ menu, and crayons to keep the little ones entertained. 

Cypress invited Annapolis Moms Media to a tasting event, where we tried some of their appetizers and desserts. Here are some of our favorite picks: 

The P.E.I. mussels stand out, served in a spicy tomato broth with roasted fennel and chorizo, alongside a crispy baguette. The crab dip is cheesy, packed with Old Bay flavor, and served with warm naan chips. And don’t miss the warm crispy Brussels, tossed with pecan wood-smoked bacon, goat cheese, and a honey Dijon vinaigrette.

For a fresh bite, the ahi tuna tartare shines with avocado mousse, citrus, and crispy wontons. But whatever you do, save room for dessert—Chef Tamar’s Bread Pudding is like a big hug on a plate, warm, comforting, and downright delicious.

Check out some food and drink highlights below:

📱👀 What Is ALL This Screen Time Really Doing To My Child’s Eyes?

Now that school is out for the summer, many kids are spending even more time on tablets, phones, gaming systems, and TVs. While screens aren't necessarily harmful on their own, too much uninterrupted screen time can contribute to:

🔹 Eye strain and headaches
🔹 Dry, irritated eyes from reduced blinking
🔹 Difficulty focusing after extended screen use
🔹 Increased risk of developing or worsening nearsightedness (myopia)

The biggest misconception is that blue light is the only concern. While blue light can affect sleep when screens are used before bedtime, the bigger issue for children's eye health is often the amount of sustained near work and reduced time spent outdoors.

A few simple ways to support healthy vision:

✅ Follow the 20-20-20 Rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
✅ Encourage outdoor play each day
✅ Remind kids to blink frequently
✅ Schedule regular comprehensive eye exams, even if they pass the school “screening”

Bay Hills Eye Care helps families navigate today's digital world with practical advice, early eye exams, and personalized recommendations to keep growing eyes healthy.
