San Francisco Chronicle - Herb Caen Jan 1970
Victoria Station - Early Success
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. . . .
