we ordered out last week.  i have to admit that thefoodwas just ok in the past but this time it was really bad.  thefoodhad no flavor but the sauces did.  without the sauces on the side i don't think i would have finished my meal.   sorry tower cafe but for the price thefoodshould be better.

a menu you could never exhaust, & great service. the menu can freeze up even a picky eater. there are mexican, asian and american comfort choices.

we had a thai-style marinated skirt steak (great, hot-spicy marinade, and immense portion) and a carnitas rojas (achiote citrus marinade...perfectly-seasoned, enough for two normal dinners, though a lot of the excess was [nicely-cooked] black beans). it took us longer to narrow our choices down to two than it took them to bring the food.

they do home made desserts, all quite good according to my sacto informant. we had a napoleon that was gigantic. i'm skeptical of giant desserts -- i worked in the kitchen at a seattle place called the great americanfood& beverage co. which featured donuts bigger than the liferings on the titanic -- and they were half as tasty as the safety equipment woulda been. they had a dozen other elephantiasis-inspired choices, all either offensive or listless. but tower cafe's napoleon, while nothing like what the french serve beyond having many layers and the basic appearance at a bigger scale, was very very good, an original invention that's good in its own right.

service was brilliant. our waitress was just chatty enough, responding to questions designed to help us winnow down possibilities, and she made sure we were taken care of without over-visiting.

only thing that could have been improved was the coffee (decent beans, i think, but a bit watery).

a favorite.

great seating arrangements. loved the outdoor seating decor. thefoodis pretty good. the bacon and omelettes deserve a special mention along with the flavoured tea. it a nice place to grab some good breakfast. this place was a savior on our route to lake tahoe from san jose.

under new ownership,foodlost its soul.foodis cold, under cooked, spoiled, and poorly prepared. tower needs owners who care about their customers and quality of food.

spread too thin. after having eaten at the tower cafe four times now, i am surprised to see such glowing reviews. while it is fun to go to a place decorated with such international flair, a large and varied menu, and always bustling, it all seems to come at the cost of the quality of thefoodand speed of service.

i've had something from each section of the menu, and each time myfoodwas mediocre at best, and i've had the same dish, far superior, at another sacramento restaurant.

in the mood for a good thai curry? there are two places next door to one another just a block away on the same street, not to mention thai basil on j.

want some caribbean flair? go to celestine's on k.

the portabella toscana sandwich looked good, but it was much better at pronto on 16th and p.

so take the extra time to narrow down what you're actually in the mood for and go to a place that serves it, that way when you order that kind of food, it'll be good.

tower is a personal standby because it has such a great menu, service, and beautiful space. i love their blueberry cornmeal pancakes and wish they would being back the salmon fish and chips!
