Moody, beamed Sidecar, the haute upstairs addition to P.J. Clarke’s, serves solid American food in a swell, other-era setting.

When P.J. Clarke’s got its well-documented facelift, backed by high-profile investors like Timothy Hutton, the owners decided to take over the upstairs storage rooms too. The result is Sidecar, a sort-of private club. Sort-of because while it accepts members, the restaurant is also open to the public (reservations are a must, though). This dining room goes beyond the downstairs burger menu with shell steak, scallops and lamb chops. The hearty American food is good enough, but the moody, beamed room is the real main course.
