has gloss | eng: Victoria Station is a chain of railroad-themed prime rib houses that was at the peak of its popularity in the 1970s , but filed for bankruptcy in 1986. The concept evolved from a Cornell University Hotel School graduate project, according to original owners Bob Freeman, Peter Lee, and Dick Bradley, graduates of the school. Innovative and unique, the first restaurant was located in San Francisco. The Baby Boom generation was coming into their own, and in the early 70s was looking for casual lounges and restaurants to adopt as their own. The company once had some 100 locations in the U.S. and Canada, but the number has dropped to one, in Salem (MA). Other locations with the name Victoria Station may be under different management (unverified). The theme of the restaurant is loosely based on Londons Victoria Station. |
