The restaurant operates 24 hours a day and offers champagne breakfasts until noon on weekdays and until 2 PM on weekends. Valet parking is available, and visitors should note that different areas are spread across multiple floors.
Staff members wear 19th-century servant attire while attending to guests in this historical costume. The menu blends traditional Russian dishes with French cooking techniques, reflecting the house's cultural history.
