Monastery Restaurant

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. It's not only about the quality and uniqueness of the food but also the service, ambience of the place, friendly yet professional manner and getting to know a different culture through the food and people who make it. What a great pleasure! Let me start with this; when you're provided with warm bread and cheese (and apple) at a restaurant while waiting for your entrée, you know that there is only very small risk for things to go wrong at that place. I had the escargot and roasted duck served with the creamed sauerkraut and dumplings. I simply loved the escargot, it was seasoned very well. The duck was cooked to perfection; tender inside and crispy skin outside. The sauerkraut was the best I've ever had and I literally swiped it all from the plate with the dumplings. Husband had the green lentil soup and Serbian goulash served with dumplings and both were quite delicious and exquisite. It was really sweet when one of the owners and chef cam

We decided to give the Monastery a try, based on reviews and my European heritage. Arrived around 6pm and there was no wait to be seated. Service was incredibly slow and our server was clearly not trained for his position. Food was just ok. Portions are on the smaller side. We ordered the veil cordon bleu and the Serbian goulash. For dessert we opted to try the Flambé Crêpes (even though they didn’t want to light them on fire) and the Black Forest cake (very little flavor). Definitely not a place I would recommend to others based on our experience.

This place is amazing. I had the escargots, NY strip with gravy and roasted onions, and for dessert some strudel. It was wonderful. The bread is amazing and doesn't stop coming. Give this place a try on your next date or fancy dinner night. You will not be disappointed. Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 … More
