About this restaurant

  • Dog-friendly
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
Wrap up your day, and begin a lovely evening with dinner at Terry’s Lounge. Our delicious entrees feature fresh local ingredients and Tapas items are perfect for sharing. Cypress Inn proudly features and pours a fine selection of Monterey County wines and is the premier cocktail bar in town.

When defining the classic cocktail, it is impossible not to recall the sophisticated Golden Age of Hollywood, when libations went hand in hand with sultry seductions, cheery celebrations and raucous parties, and evoked the effortless style and sophistication of the movies in which they played a part. We feature a classic cocktail program that invites you to relive this pre and post prohibition age with a little Doris Day Hollywood flair.

    What a great experience with my daughter-in-law and two teenage granddaughters. I didn’t realize that this had been owned by Doris Day and the ambience , food and service were impeccable. We sat outside on a chilly summer night, but the heaters and the blankets provided for us by the staff made everything perfect. the dog friendly patio with the adorable dogs was an added bonus. We will definitely go back here when visiting Carmel.

    Got there at 6:15, 15 minutes early got seated , no server or water for 15 mins. Finally got drinks 25 minutes after arriving. Waitress brought drinks and said “ do you know what you want to eat”. Never saw her again someone else brought the food. No one checked on us. We tipped $40 🤷🏼‍♂️

    If you would like to take your dog to dinner with you, this is a good place to go. The food was amazing, and our server Omar and helper Lulu were so great!

    New server was top notch. Kitchen made some improvements as well. Started with the always yummy Brussel sprouts from the all Day Menu. I had the Sand Dabs which came with roasted crispy fingerling potatos (vs. mashed potates) and veg that included asparagus - a good flavor combination.., and it came with less sauce which kept the fish crispy vs. being drowned in sauce. It just needed some capers! Husband had the salmon special with spinach and mushrooms which he enjoyed. We shared the Apple Cobbler and ice cream which was nice although nothing beats a berry cobbler.

    Ordered medium rare steak. It was served well done. Then it was served rare. Got it right third time, as dinner was nearly over. Food is bland, lacked flavor and creativity. Server was helpful but inattentive. Ambiance is good, a tribute to Doris Day.
