Le Robert II sur Gosnay

16/05/2026: We had a lovely time at La Distillerie. The two young waitresses were incredibly friendly, smiling, and full of enthusiasm despite what seemed to be a difficult situation for them. Since the reopening, there's clearly been a staff shortage, which inevitably leads to some wait times, but the waitresses are absolutely not to blame: we saw them constantly running around the dining room during service, trying their best to manage the situation. They were very professional and pleasant from beginning to end. Unfortunately, the budget cuts are affecting the customer experience. On the other hand, the quality of the food hasn't changed since our last visit: the dishes are still delicious and prepared with high-quality ingredients. One minor drawback was the rather cold atmosphere, as the door was left open all evening. We were constantly in a draft, which somewhat spoiled the comfort of the meal. Despite this, I still recommend the restaurant for the quality of its cuisine and the professionalism of its staff.

07/04/2026: We had become accustomed to the distillery's high-quality service over the past few years. However, during our recent visit this past weekend, we were particularly disappointed. The two young waitresses made a series of mistakes: - the drinks menu wasn't provided - they reused the beer glass to pour the second beer - they removed the dessert plate before the end of the meal… We weren't the only ones to experience these inconveniences: - half a table had an order wrong - the steak tartare was prepared with long, fake nails (not very hygienic) - the coffee was served, and it overflowed into the saucer. To top it all off, the presence of Spotify and its background ads isn't exactly appropriate for the setting and only reinforces the amateurish nature of the service. It's a shame; after Robert 2, we've lost another great spot! Let's hope Vasco doesn't follow suit!
