Virgin Sturgeon

Great funky atmosphere and good food on the water!!!🌊👍

We wanted seafood while we were in town and found this place was just a short walk from our hotel. We were greeted quickly and seated right by a window that opened to the river. Super cool. Boats were coming in and out, which was fun to watch while we ate. The food was good, but not amazing. The drinks were also good, but sweet and somewhat watered down.

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. We went down the tunnel which was vaguely shaky seeming, but fun and kitschy. The interior is casual and comfortable. Everything except the bad has a pretty good view of the Sacramento River. Our waitress was so nice and knowledgeable. She really made us feel special. The bread is fresh made and delicious. The scratch made cream of broccoli soup was amazing, very savory with a nice hint of rosemary. The linguini and clams had the most generous helping of clams I’ve had in the dish. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the dill sauce matched it well. You can exit to a small dock that is in use by customers boating in from the river. It’s nice and peaceful at sunset. I even briefly saw a seal. Highly recommended!

My husband and I visited the restaurant this afternoon and we wanted to publicly thank Jacob L. for his great service. We enjoyed the food and loved the restaurant! We will come back again soon! We highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

Very good food. Only one waitress there when we went so service was a little slow and she kept forgetting stuff. But everyone was very nice and food was great. Calamari is a little tougher than we are used to but still good. Salmon dish, tortellini dish, and clam chowder all amazing. Also, can't beat the view, it's right on the river. Definitely would recommend.

Casual dive with great food.Enter the old TWA entrance ramp and its all downhill from there (wheelchair friendly).As the river goes up or down, the ramp and whole restaurant floats with it.Cool place.. not for the shy

Always great. Good spread on offer. Old time good service and great prices for what it is. Note that this place is floating on the Sacramento River so it's fun to just watch the boat traffic. If you go, take note of the ramp to the shore is an adapted airport jetway. Some customers are walking in from the adjacent floating docs.

Very friendly a nice break off the boat great place to go out to dinner and a short boat ride or Long Boat Ride maybe go there twice a day or 3 times we have fun no matter what we're doing on the river virgin sturgeon gets a five-star from us Jeff & Chrys

We arrived at this restaurant for a meeting. we heard about this restaurant from quite a few people. Well, we were not disappointed. The crew welcomed us with a smile and we felt fantastic. The food was just great. We had a great time and we shall absolutely come back again. we highly recommend this place.

Hard to beat! The prices are just right the food is delicious the drinks are amazing!and you ain't going to beat this riverfront dining in Sacramento! ❤️

Great cozy spot right in the river. Went for dinner and were greeted right away, got a nice seat at the window and the service was great. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly and warm. It’s decorated so pretty for Christmas and the BVQ platter was exactly the comfort food I was looking for.They start you off with a basket of warm bread and soft butter. That’s right, actually nice soft spreadable butter.They have great cocktails with real pours. Full bar is stocked and beer on tap. This is a true neighborhood restaurant with a reason it’s been around so long.

Great place to have brunch. Built on top of the river. Make sure to get a seat facing the river for the best experience. You can see people kayak, parasail and boat through the river. It's a beautiful site specially when the tree leaves are changing colors.Breakfast menu is great. Their sausages are a must try. Staff is pretty active and warm. Perfect place to sit down, relax and chat.Make sure to get a reservation on weekends if you are planning to go there. Otherwise you may have to wait.There is no dedicated parking spot. You just have to park on the side of the road.
