近年來在政治、經濟、科技發展驅動下，中國大陸處於消費升級的階段，中國新中產階級成為了主要的消費群體，他們的挑剔指數和審美能力都在不斷提升，食客從饑餓型吃貨向體驗型吃貨升級。隨著體驗經濟和科技的發展，多感官體驗成為了一個新的趨勢，消費者越來越把飲食體驗看做美學消費。消費者註意到餐廳极简的室內設計和精湛的燈光使用。更重要的是，餐廳業者們正試圖將餐廳升級改造成一種身臨其境的多感官用餐體驗，利用投影、數字傳感器和聲音來增強用餐效果，讓消費者們能沈浸在現實之上。同時，服務員擔任多角色服務提供者，像主人一樣招待消費者，為他們提供專業的指導和知識，講述有關體驗和餐館的故事，以及美味的料理提供給消費者享用。盡管中國有著關於多感官用餐體驗和餐館的豐富歷史和資源，但与中国多感官餐廳相關的文獻和研究卻停滯不前，從消費者感知角度出發的研究更是稀少，本研究旨在填補這一空隙。

本研究選擇中國大陸第一個藝術感官餐廳「花舞印象」作為研究對象，從消費者的角度分析研究藝術感觀餐廳的現況和餐飲體驗，結合餐廳內部服務人員之觀點，去深入理解其美學導向給消費者用餐體驗和行為帶來的影響和變化。研究人員使用參與、觀察、問卷調查、深入訪談消費者和餐廳內部服務人員來收集數據。本研究為少數學術研究中從多重感官體驗的角度看待中國古代餐飲體驗的研究之一，文章詳細描述了食客在多重感官餐廳中的消費者行為、精神活動和感受，從消費者角度深度分析了餐廳中的美學體驗，探討消費者如何體驗感知和評估多感官餐廳將用餐體驗轉化為美學消費，進一步分析多感官美學體驗對餐館的附加價值及其影响，並在美學體驗領域中提出了新的概念--“美學探索（aesthetic exploration）”，最後提出了一個從飲食體驗到美學消費的概念模型，以供未來研究參考。

In recent years, with polical, economic and technical drivens, China is in the stage of consumption upgrades.
