Upscale restaurant in Roseville's Fountains appears to have closed permanently

By Sonya Sorich – Digital Editor, Sacramento Business Journal Jun 26, 2020, 5:51pm EDT It appears McCormick & Schmick’s, an upscale restaurant chain known for its steaks and seafood, won't reopen its only Sacramento-area location. Exterior signs have been removed from the restaurant in Fountains at Roseville, and the location is no longer listed on the chain's website. Representatives from Houston-based Landry's Inc., the parent company of McCormick & Schmick’s, were not immediately able to comment on the Roseville restaurant. Yoncie Griswold, general manager for the Fountains, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The 8,427-square-foot Roseville restaurant opened in 2009, the Business Journal previously reported. The location has 2 1/2 stars on Yelp, based on nearly 700 reviews. California restaurants took a hit when they had to close their dining rooms for months, due to statewide shelter-in-place orders issued in mid-March to slow the spread of Covid-19. Several restaurants across the Sacramento area have permanently closed due to the pandemic's financial impact. During the shelter-in-place orders, many restaurants adapted by offering curbside pickup and delivery. But the Covid-19 disruption was especially difficult for many fine dining restaurants, which generally don't focus on to-go meals. McCormick & Schmick’s previously had a Downtown Sacramento restaurant, which closed in 2013 and was replaced by Claim Jumper, another Landry's brand. complete article:
