- 1985 April 27, Sue Hyde, “Formal Dining Pleasure”, in Gay Community News, page 8:
- We observed a neighboring diner receive her entree, an impressive-looking shellfish stew served in a very large clear glass bowl. We nearly regretted our entree selections as we vicariously enjoyed her San Francisco-style Cioppino, a West Coast version of the Cajun Bouillabaise. Her bowl was loaded with clams, mussels and scallops in an herbed tomato and wine broth, a lovely dish for $12.75.
