Feels like a cross between a school cafeteria and a church event; long tables with tablecloths. Food wasn't great, and kinda pricey.

My husband and I usually meet here for lunch once a week. The food is homey and delicious. We love the casual and communal atmosphere of The Cloister.

This place is awesome. I miss their old location, but the Cloister is really unique. Their food is so very consistent and delicious. Recommend the chicken and peppers with dirty rice and for dessert, the yellow cake with chocolate

One of the most overrated places to eat I Houston. This is Cajun food for the elderly. Bland and low salt. Gumbo is so bland and uninspired it's inedible (contrast with the exceptional Cajun at zydecos a few blocks away, at half the cost). Cafeteria style, so it's a quick place to get lunch. Chicken fried chicken is pretty good, if pricey and small portioned. Seriously the food is so bland it's like food served in an old folk's home.

Planned to meet friends for lunch. We each traveled from distant parts of Houston. When we arrived, we were told by construction workers the facility was closed for maintenance. It would have been nice if they had updated their website.
