SIDECAR is PJ Clarke's handsome semi-private upstairs dining room. The birthplace of Patrick Joseph Clarke himself, for 50 years, it was a musty antiques office. Now, its wood beamed ceiling, exposed brick walls hung with fine art, and long seemingly endless space welcomes diners to one of Manhattan's most intimate dining rooms. You enter Sidecar through a special entrance on East 55th Street. The menu, prepared in Sidecar’s own kitchen, is Steaks, Chops, Seafood and Raw Bar. Whether seated on the long banquets that run the entire length of the room, or at a table on the main floor, it immediately envelopes one in a unique sense of clubby comfort. An extensive wine collection, personal attention and the quiet calm of a unique refuge complete the experience.

“Very nice and intimate upstairs dining room. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. We came here for our anniversary dinner and they did not disappoint. I thought the food was simple and executed very well. The price point was quite fair considering the service and upscale intimate atmosphere. I would definitely recommend for a date night or just a fun night out.”

“The quieter, historic ambiance and friendly service were much appreciated, and I enjoyed the smokey old fashioned (with cherries :o). Food (burger, short rib) were just alright given the higher price imo, though Calamari was good”
