Victoria Station - A Portend to Future Success

Victoria Station Jan 1970 - Success on the way

"Funny about restaurants. Some open with
great fanfare and never get off the ground,
whereas others open quietly and are eternally
crowded from the first hour onward. The
latter phenomenon would seem to be the
happy fate of Victoria Station, an imaginative
collection of seven freight cars grouped
around a “station” entrance at the foot
of Broadway.

The wheels parked outside attest to
the types inside: Ferraris, Alfas, Jags,
Fiats and MG’s. Those old freight cars
are there to stay but the young owners
are obviously going places. . . . "

—Herb Caen, San Francisco Chronicle, January, 1970
