I had not visited La Tour Cafe since they opened in 2011. Back then I tried basically the same items on the menu that we ate on this visit. Probably a mistake because I was not to high on this place back then and this visit did nothing to make me want to come back for a third time. We were at the Lowe's Hardware store next to La Tour and rather than park in front of the restaurant because it is often full we left our car at Lowe's and just walked over for a quick lunch. I again went for the Italian Sandwich ($10) and once again was not impressed. My Wife, Daughter and myself all tried the sandwich and we all puckered after our first bite because the sandwich was drenched in a mayonnaise based tangy sauce. Could not really taste the flavor of the meats or cheese. The bread however was perfect. The Meatball Bahn Mi ($9.60) is a favorite of my Wife. I however like meatballs with a little more flavor and maybe some sauce. This sandwich seemed a little dry to me. The bread however was perfect. The Margherita Pizza ($10) looked really good coming out of the oven. Nice thin crust and good ration of sauce and cheese. The only gripe on this pie is that they put lemon zest all over the pizza as a topping. Lemon zest on a pizza my friends does not work. The crust however was perfect. La Tour Cafe is not a bad place. Think I need to try a few other menu items before I write them off.
