Member of the diner's club “On Long Island's fashionable North Shore, at 1 Chelsea Place, in Great Neck, is a Restaurant and Supper Club that matches anything in the line of luxury living found in town. Perhaps that's why it is called Town Club. The only light is from the gracefully tapering candles, from the indirect glow that calls attention to fresh-cut gladioli in Sheffield silver vases and from the roaring fire in and immense fireplace, with unique andirons from Florence that stand guard over and support the crackling logs,” “It's a show place, but not showy. It has a certain subtle glamour that is unique in our experience. Unless you have heard about it – and the descriptions range from the awed to the ecstatic – there is no way to foretell what a surprise in in store for you when you first step in. There are a number of extras, house specialties, on the sweets list, among them baked Alaska, which we chose. They serve it flambee here, and a fascinating sight it is when the rolling table is brought alongside and the headwaiter performs his ceremony of pouring liqueur over it and touching off the flame.” |
