Let’s head back to June 1965 when the new Cindy’s Restaurant at the Ladner Shopping Centre reportedly already won compliments on its décor and food.
Opened the month prior, the “ultra -modern” eatery had a dining room that seated 30 and featured gold tablecloths and serviettes, as well as a tasteful arrangement of flower set off a mahogany wall separating the dining room from the counter stools and booths.
The main item on the menu was steak, while each week a special businessman’s lunch was 89 cents.
An advertorial in the Optimist noted the name Cindy’s was not a common restaurant name, but one of the finest restaurants in San Francisco was also called Cindy’s.
