Cypriana - Homewood

Cypriana was terrific. We had a birthday person with us and they made it special (see Picts), the food was great. Specifically the chef’s hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had! Seriously, I could’ve eaten that alone and been happy. The branzino with lemon was excellent and light. The chicken with lemon potatoes was perfect for my kid, the grilled octopus was nice and tender-had a slight Smokey taste and the portion size was enormous. The grilled eggplant was another lovely dish, although that reduced balsamic drizzle on top was so delish I could’ve used more! The had a gluten free pita which was excellent, and the wood roasted olives was a “to taste” item. I did not care for it but the rest of the table loved it. The service was great, drinks were generous. We had a very good time and will be back!

The food was all-around great (we especially loved the grape leaves), but this place deserves major extra points for accommodating those with celiacs. My (recently diagnosed) husband and I celebrated our anniversary dinner last night, and we were delightfully amazed by how much of the menu is gluten-free. Even more, while nothing beats traditional pita bread, the mere fact that Cypriana offers gluten-free pita bread (which was still tasty) meant a lot to us. We will definitely be coming back here again – especially when neither of us needs to be the designated driver, as the cocktail menu sounded fantastic.
