Talking about restaurants

Here are some phrases about restaurants. I would be grateful if someone could tell me if it sounds natural. Thanks!

I don’t normally like eating in restaurants.
Normalmente no me gusta comer en restaurantes.

However, I like this restaurant.
Sin embargo, me gusta este restaurante.

The food is fantastic!
La comida es fantástica.

It has a great atmosphere and it is decorated well.
Tiene un gran ambiente y está decorado bien.

Also could the last line (about atmosphere and decoration) be applied to any building (eg. Shop, hotel room) or would it sound natural for restaurants only?

Yes, these referencies can be used for other places too. You may want to not use the word gran as is usually means big or wide. It may be better to use buen or exquisito or maravilloso or whatever.

Just to give you more options, I might say:

Por lo general, no me gusta comer en los restaurantes.
