After three decades serving patrons on the Old Sacramento Waterfront, the well-known Rio City Cafe has announced a rather melancholic last call for its customers. FOX40 reports that the establishment, a pillar of the riverside dining scene, said in a Facebook post yesterday that they will cease operations on August 3. "This was in no way an easy decision, but due to multiple factors, sadly, we realize it is time to say our goodbyes," the cafe's farewell message outlined.
Nestled along the historic boardwalk, the cafe that opened for the first time in May 1994, will no longer pour its famous Fish and Chips into the seafood-loving bellies of Sacramento. According to ABC10, the Rio City Cafe boasted signature menu items like the Sourdough Cheese Loaf, which garnered a reputation that resonated well beyond the confines of their beloved riverside locale.
For those eager to catch the final glimpse or a last taste of Rio City Cafe's offerings, the closure presents an excuse to revisit and reminisce. On its last day, the cafe is planning a grand send-off with brunch and dinner on offer, providing guests a chance to dine once more on the patio with views of the Sacramento River and the iconic Tower Bridge.
