Great Food, Fair Price! My Wifie and I had a fantastic lunch at the Virgin Sturgeon. The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable, especially given the quality. I highly recommend the sturgeon with lemon capers—it was cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot-on....Read More

The food was great. Service was excellent. Food came out quickly. The view is tranquil and lovely. I’m so glad we stopped by. It’s accessed easily off the 5.

Long story short: good food, good service, good vibes. I found this place to be quite delightful! Was recommended the Virgin Sturgeon by a few folks as I travelled into town and, given the name, had to check it out! They don’t take reservations, but at...Read More

This is a historic Sacramento bar with a lot of character! The bartenders are great and the view is pretty unique. It’s fun to go down the old airport gate to the restaurant on the river

Great place to eat by the river. Drink menu that was provided was limited; however, I assume they'd make anything you ask as it is coming from a bar. I had the linguini and clams for lunch. More clams and not a lot of noodles,...Read More

The Sturgeon was a last minute decision and I’m glad we went! The restaurant is set down on the river, so the parking is all on the side of the road above, but there’s plenty of space. …

This place is old and just the right vibe. It is literally on the river. The food is great, lots of fish and meat options. Views from every table. You can also dock your boat for river access.

A great location along the Sacramento River for boat watching while eating your meal. Service was fairly fast for drinks and meal orders; and, the food tasted great. I recommend the crab or steak sandwiches.
