I am uninspired I have to say, given all the hype. The lighting in the evenings is very harsh in my view to answer the question above.
Re the champagne I have seen four types so far, Moet Rose, Moet, Peninsula own label, and Billecart Salmon. I guess it is an improvement on the choice of one type beforehand. Food choice is better, no doubt, but I didn't try the a la carte yet.
