Feedback
Reviews praise Tower’s views, seafood, wine and attentive service; note higher prices, occasional seating without a castle view and room to expand vegetarian options.
Excellent setting, tasty menu and cocktails. Great service. Pricey though! But A+ for overall quality and experience.
Excellent experience, a tad on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Service was excellent and so were the views.
Perfect meal in a perfect setting I'd recommend 100
There was some good and unfortunately, not so good with our meal. Everything would of been better if we had good service, but it was awful. I just don’t think our waitress cared or she was completely disinterested in making a pleasant experience for us. We started with the oysters and they were very good. For the main dishes, the sea bass and cod with chorizo were also very good. Everything was just mediocre, and for the price it should of been outstanding. We had gone for the view of the castle, but we were seated in an area that you couldn’t see the castle, so we were bummed about that too. We won’t go back.
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. It was a bit pricey, but worth every penny. The service was outstanding and the views were breathtaking.

Tower’s compact, carefully chosen wine list hides some real gems — reviewers have noted aged Burgundies and mature clarets among the bottles — and the kitchen is known for signature plates like salmon prepared three ways and a standout Boeuf Bourguignon, making it a favorite for celebratory return visits.
