About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for scenic views

Rio City Cafe is situated right on the boardwalk in the beautiful, historic Old Sacramento Waterfront near some of the most prominent landmarks such as the historic Tower Bridge, the Ziggurat (Pyramid) building, and much more. Rio City Cafe opened its doors in May of 1994. Being both a relaxed and formal setting, we are great for any occasion or celebration, as well as can accommodate large parties and banquet events. The Chef’s approach is to present fresh, wholesome ingredients and combine them in a way that is attractive, tasteful, and creative–simple food elevated. We offer California Cuisine with a focus on specialty meats and seafood that we create with influences from all over the world. We offer a full bar, specialty cocktails, beers, and a well-rounded wine list. Our best quality is our professional, family-friendly, and fun staff. Whether you want to simply enjoy a drink, grab a quick bite, or have a full-course meal, Rio City Cafe is here for you!

Unfortunately, it was their last day. The City of Sacramento (their landlord) failed them by not doing repairs to the property.

Our waiter Jarrod was great. Made some recommendations since it had been a while since we had been there. Our meal was great. Didn't catch the bartender's name but he made one of the best espresso martinis my hubby has ever had.

We were seated 25 minutes after our reservation time, despite arriving a little early. We were brought water fairly quickly, but waited a very long time to see our server. When she eventually arrived at our table, she said that she was also running the bar and was consequently quite busy. After taking our orders, we only saw her again when our bill was delivered. Food and drinks arrived via other restaurant staff. The inattentive service helped me contextualize our late seating, as dinner was probably also taking longer than normal for other patrons, slowing the whole system down. Everyone was nice enough, but just tardy and inattentive.
