Irving Mill’s “old world� carriage house interior with 30-foot ceilings is impressive so long as you forget that the restaurant claims to be green. If you ignore that and you’re into eating pig, the helpful wait-staff might advise you to order the Pork Toast – mashed, deep fried pork topped with caviar. For drinks, go for a blood orange Manhattan or choose from a variety of beers from Europe. While the pork and alcohol are the restaurant’s forte, some of the sauces and spices – specifically for the Braised Rabbit – overwhelm the meat and drown out the flavor. As for an entrée that will not fail, shack up with the Chicken for Two and revel in the traditional American décor of the place.
