Mark Twain did attend numerous dinners at the Garrick Club. He
discussed these in his book MARK TWAIN IN ERUPTION, p. 331-333.

An early visit was in July 1873 at a dinner hosted by Anthony
Trollope.  A lengthy annotation about that event is online in his
letter to Mary Mason Fairbanks.

Joaquin Miller also wrote about this dinner in 1882.  His article is
online in the New York Times archives at:
