Irene Virbila: Eco-friendly eating at Akasha restaurant "Designer Alexis Readinger has done a wonderful job of letting the ceilings soar. She’s stripped the walls to bare brick, revealed glorious tall arched windows along the street, and hung huge parchment colored lights that float like mysterious sculptures high above the tables. You can read the menu and see your food, yet nothing glares or shines in your eye. The chairs are comfortable, the noise level is, shall we say, spirited but manageable..."
