A popular Bellevue restaurant that was once featured on the Food Network has closed.

Virgil's Cafe made this announcement on its Facebook page:

Dear Friends of Virgil’s Café, It is with heavy hearts that we let you know that Virgil’s Café has closed its doors. It has been a fantastic 6 ½ years & an honor to be a part of the Bellevue community. We greatly appreciate all the years you have allowed us to work with you & serve you. We have had many loyal guests, employees, & vendors as part of the Virgil’s family and truly value the lasting relationships we’ve made throughout our time here. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts & look forward to whatever the future may hold. We will be posting information this week concerning outstanding gift certificates & special offers as we work on closing those accounts, so please check back. Best wishes for a happy, healthy holiday season & a wonderful new year! Thank you for everything!
