12/04/2026: Very warm welcome, excellent food, pleasant staff, highly recommended.

03/04/2026: Passing through a small village near Fontainebleau, we were simply looking to stop for a coffee around 11 a.m. Several establishments share the square, including the Brasserie Samoisienne, which proudly displays the promise of a "warm bistro" on its facade. A promise that, alas, remained just that—a promise. On the terrace, the tables were already set for lunch service. Nothing unusual at that time, especially since two tables were occupied by customers comfortably seated, coffee in hand. So we waited for a member of staff to arrive, naively thinking we could be seated. What followed was… surprising. The employee, barely having arrived, curtly informed us that there was "no room," pointing to the tables already set as if their mere presence was enough to prohibit any service. No alternative was offered, no gesture of welcome was made, not even the suggestion of directing us inside. The tone, however, left little room for interpretation: a clear, abrupt, almost dismissive refusal. A way of saying "move along" that left a bitter taste, especially in a village where one expects a minimum of friendliness. Ironically, the "cozy bistro" was only welcoming to those already seated. For everyone else, the welcome seemed optional. We finally crossed the square to go to the pizzeria opposite, where the welcome was the complete opposite: smiling, simple, human, and where several customers were seated with their coffees and the tables were being set as noon approached. It just goes to show that a few meters are sometimes enough to completely change the experience. Reply to the restaurant owner: I understand, then, that your waitress offered to seat us inside. That's interesting: we were right in front of her, yet the message must have been delivered in "ultra-discreet" fashion. Perhaps a new reception concept is in place, reserved for customers with an internal radar. I completely understand that the tables are set for lunchtime service. What surprises me more is that a simple coffee at 11 a.m. seems to represent an insurmountable logistical challenge. As for your waitress, perhaps it would be wise to examine her approach to customers. A little less sarcasm, a little more hospitality, and everyone would benefit, including your establishment. And since we're on the subject of improvement: placing a little trust in walk-in customers can only be beneficial for your business. They are often the ones who discover a place, talk about it to others… or not, depending on the reception they receive. Besides, your reaction suggests that criticism might not be your cup of tea. Yet, it's an integral part of running a business and can even be useful, if you're willing to listen. I also note that following my comment, your opening hours have been changed and now indicate a midday opening. This shows that criticism can sometimes be beneficial, even when it's not appreciated.

06/05/2026: Pleasant shaded terrace! Group meal for 83 guests with a €36 set menu, including aperitif, wine, and coffee. Uninspired food: aperitif served without any accompaniments, not even a saucer of peanuts. Fish loaf extremely salty, barely edible. Coq au vin without any sauce, extremely dry and tasteless. Rustic cake not bad but more like a petit four than a normal slice (4.5cm square). After asking for it, we were reluctantly given a second 70cl carafe of rosé for a table of 8! At dessert time, we had the audacity to ask for another carafe. The waitress categorically refused with this unbelievable comment: you were entitled to 25cl each and we're already at 50cl, so if you want more, it's extra! I'll let you do the math: 2 carafes of 70cl = 140cl divided by 8 = 17.5cl per person. I don't know what to call this: blatant bad faith, a blatant rip-off, or outright fraud? I don't know how the owner will respond to this criticism, but above all, he should keep his cool and avoid rudeness and insults. Once is enough! When a group brings in €3,000 in revenue in just a few hours, one has the right to expect a little more consideration. The owner's response is telling: he sticks to his mantra: "Everyone was happy last year!" and doesn't address my remarks in any way, which are not feelings, but facts! I wasn't there in 2025, so my comments only concern 2026 and remain unchanged. As for the lack of courage he alludes to, I can easily throw it back at him, since it's customary for the waiters or the owner to circulate among the tables and ask how things went! Yet this gentleman didn't deign, or dare, to appear, no doubt too busy counting his pennies behind the counter... As for the loss of two customers you mention, make no mistake, it's the entire group you've lost...for good!

30/04/2026: Not recommended! Outrageous group meal!!! Kir was far too sweet. The starter was inedible and far too salty. The coq au vin was tasteless... probably boiled. The wine quota was nowhere near met, and they categorically refused to refill it. The waitresses were unfriendly. All this for 36 euros. I repeat, OUTRAGEOUS! ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED!
