amenuyou could never exhaust, & great service. themenucan 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 american food & 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.
