The ambiance is often characterized as charming, with comfortable settings. While some (about 8%) find the red-themed decor a bit "aging" or "outdated," this does not detract from the "unforgettable" experience. A few guests (around 10%) feel the experience, particularly wine pairings or hotel rooms, can be expensive or not fully justify the price, though many still find it offers "value for €" in haute cuisine.
