Despite the name, with its reference to meditation, this is a fashionably loud bar and café. The ceilings feature painted Tibetan mandalas, but they reflect sound, as do the wood floors, the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the occasional painted wall. And the restaurant is crowded, despite somewhat immodest prices. I, too, don’t really like my food this pretty, but it is a valuable experience to have it this way once or twice.
