Mark Sullivan almost single-handedly has put Woodside
on the culinary map. The Woodside Pub, which had been around
for years, closed in 2001 and reopened in a new, chic downstairs
location. Sullivan, formerly of PlumpJack, has created an American-inspired
dinner menu that fits the space like a glove. Camel-hair drapes,
claret-colored mohair chairs and a dark wood boxed-beam ceiling,
create an understated, luxurious atmosphere. A fireplace along
one wall is open to the kitchen and doubles as a grill station.
