A surprise oasis in Sacramento. Not only is the food very good but the atmosphere is great. The Towers menu is extensive and everything sounds delicious. But since this was our first visit we decided to try something simple. Since we were stopping for a quick late lunch, I had a burger and fries...excellent. No wimpy tomatoes on my burger... more

This place has a nice funky atmosphere, with interesting decorations on the wall and very nice outdoor seating. Eleven us went there breakfast on a Monday morning, and were promptly seated, got excellent service and were satisfied with their meals. While the breakfasts were a little greasy, they were tasty. Extensive beer list. Good value. more

My all time favourite since the late '80s. Everything is delish, I've never ordered anything I did not like. My favourite is the Irish Guiness Beef Stew. The french toast is the bomb and the atmosphere is fabulously eclectic and amazing...it's an adventure every time. The service is always friendly, but not annoyingly so. Outdoor dining is absolutely charming...Absolutely fabulous!!! more

This wonderful eclectic restaurant was recommended for breakfast and it was wonderful. The Mexican Omelet was wonderful, as was the heavenly French Toast which is the best item on the breakfast menu. The blueberry corncakes were huge, but bland. The service was attentive and the atmosphere homey. I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast. Also ample parking in back. Note:... more

Food is consistently good, but that's if you can get service. Don't go there when you're in a hurry. more

On a sunny day, it is a treat to lunch outside on Tower Cafe's patio surrounded by the lush green plants. However, regardless of the beautiful setting, that is not enough to get me to go back. One of my pet peeves is slow service and this place is notorious for that. Our lunch there several Fridays ago was no... more

The french toast is heavenly. After breakfast, the place goes downhill. more
