Glen Oaks Club

Re: the food here — best read

When I grow old and rich and decide to be a part of a country club in NYC, this is the place id like to be a member of, bar none. I’ve been invited on two separate occasions to have dinner and enjoy the site of the club, and may I say, elegance does not describe it enough.
First off the club is gorgeous and very well taken care of. The golf course can be overlooked by the patio where you may dine during the summer season, and the inside restaurant is clean and cozy. Very attentive staff to your every need.
The kitchen is what blew me away, I’ve have dinner here twice, one time was buffet style during Memorial Day weekend, the other was on a quiet October night. And both were extremely impressive to say the least. The buffet was completely packed with fresh seafood, endless salads, and the meat…
Don’t even get me started with the cuts of meat! They have skirt steak, ribeyes, filet mignon, lamb chops, etc etc. All cooked to perfection on a grill and served straight on your plate. The seafood grill also blew me away with nearly a dozen different types of fish filets prepared in front of your eyes. I was in food coma heaven.
The members that attend the club are amongst the upper class and extremely friendly. I even heard Bernie Madoff was a member before, well, you know how he ended up.
Excellent everything and looking forward to going back.

We had our holiday lunch here. Excellent food for a country club. A shame it’s winter since the grounds must be amazing when everything is green.
