I had such a great experience at Tower 7 thanks to our server Kathleena! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just right. she checked in at the perfect times and had such a positive attitude our entire meal. It really made the dining experience so much better! If you visit Tower 7, definitely ask for Kathleena she’s one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time!

Kathleena was such a great server! She took really good care of our family and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. She was patient, kind, and super attentive, especially with our group since we had a few different orders. She made sure everyone got exactly what they wanted and checked in often without hovering. Everything came out perfect, and her friendly attitude really stood out.

This place was recommended by some locals to me, so I figured I'd check it out! My server was super sweet, friendly, and sccomodsting.
I ordered the elote dip, roasted corn, black beans, onion, Serrano peppers. Not the creamy stuff you get at the store. I really enjoyed it, and ate it like a side item.
I chose the Yucatan Shrimp quesadilla with
grilled achiote shrimp, pineapple, jalapeño, avocado, green onion, monterey jack cheese, and a chipotle aioli. There was a lot going on AND it all went together very well. The chipotle aioli was delightful and I wish I had it in a bottle.
As a non-drinker, I was happy to see mocktails on the drink menu, so I ordered a Pomade Spritzer - pomegranate puree, agave nectar, lemon juice, and seltzer. I finished it on the deck by the water, and watched the rain pass.
Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely be back!

I went to Tower 7 Sunday for brunch with a friend. First let me say the service was great and if possible the food was better. And of course the view is fabulous! For starters they provide nice thin crispy chips and delicious homemade salsa on the house. I had to stop myself from eating all of them to have room for the main act. For our entree we both ordered Huevos Ranchero. It was a huge amount of food of which I was only able to eat half. Sorry...I wasn't thinking about pictures while I was there. It was fantastic. I brought home half of it and just finished it off for next days breakfast. FYI...you can purchase a container of salsa to take home! Great experience!

My husband and I were transiting the area by boat on our way home from Maine to Georgia. Granted, we came into the restaurant a bit jaded after having left a Tower 7 competitor (which shall remain unnamed). We had been seated and literally forgotten. Although we searched out and found someone to take our drink order, she never actually came to check on us! After 25 minutes of waiting, we decided to check out Tower 7 instead.
What a difference between night and day!!!
The food selections at Tower 7 were quite extensive. We tried the shrimp quesadilla and shrimp & chicken fajitas. Both were quite tasty and prepared to perfection, but the service provided by the lovely Francis was over-the-top EXCEPTIONAL. I would not be at all surprised if this young lady could literally walk on water!
And it wasn’t just Francis…everyone we had contact with actually acted like they wanted to be there. How refreshing!
Thank you, Francis, for salvaging the evening for us. Your pleasant demeanor and attention to detail were impeccable! Our hats are off to you, young lady! We appreciate everything you did to make our dining experience so memorable!
