(Gerry Furth-Sides)  Sir Winston’s Restaurant & Lounge on the Queen Mary in Long Beach presents a novel, tasty way for a first time visit or revisit to the historical ship with the new pre fixe Sunset Hidden Gem Menu.    Winston Churchill enjoyed travelling in grand style by sea and crossed the Atlantic aboard the Queen Mary three times during the Second World War.   There are sometimes exhibits when you can walk through Churchill’s Cabinet and Map Room and experience what it was to be in the room where Churchill planned his infamous D-Day concept, making some of the most important wartime decisiions.    The practically priced 3-course dinner created by the Queen Mary’s Executive Chef, Julie Cablay is available for a limited time at an inviting price of $50.
