We had no reservation, but a nice table was available so we were quickly seated. John was our waiter, serving at least 2 other large parties. He handled it very well. He was prompt, professional and knowledgeable about the menu selections. He brought our drinks and bread with cheese…a welcome start to our dinner. My wife chose the veal while I decided to try the cassoulet. Both were delicious, full of flavor and well presented. It had been several years since our last visit; the Monastery excelled both times. It’s refreshing to experience a restaurant that is consistently good with a nicely varied menu and with attentive, friendly service. We will be back!

The chef didn't just check on our food, but also made sure we experienced true Hungarian cuisine. She even personally fed us! The food was delicious, with tender meats and unique dishes like bread with homemade cheese butter and green apple. Our server Clara was fantastic, going above and beyond by explaining the entire menu. A perfect spot for a romantic date night!
