First time. Reservation and seating was good. But it's a noisy venue. Difficult to have conversation across the table. Server had to be reminded about serving wine with meal. But otherwise she did well to keep 10 of us satisfied.

As always, 10/10 food. Tried a couple different cocktails and had the Mafalde which were delicious. For dessert we shared the Pandan cake which was something new for all of us. Was probably the loudest I've ever seen in there unfortunately, which made it honestly hard to even talk across the table.

First time in Thunder Bay and Tomlin is mentioned as a must go.
They are walk in only. We put our names down at 8:30 and seated 8:50pm. 20 min wait on a Tuesday! It gets busy.
We ordered:
Pork ribs - delicious crunchy and tender fall off the bone goodness. Came with some pickled cucumbers which was a nice balance.
Charred Broccolini - Broccolini was a tad too boiled and sweet, but overall love the flavor profile. It had a light sweet gingery flavor and paired with yh charred Broccolini was soo good. Also I appreciated that all the stalks were of even cut.
Fried Oyster Mushrooms - Nothing too stand out but good.
Lumache Pasta - the pasta itself is handmade and sooo incredibly good. It's not too eggy and it has a beautiful and satisfying bite with a bit of bounce. The vodka sauce I found was a bit too sour. It needed a bit more cheese to balance the acidity out personally.
Sleepyhead cocktail - Yummy. Not typically a drinker but this was good. It was chamomile and honey forward with white wine.
Overall, I would recommend! The service was very friendly. The food came extremely fast which was great because we were starved. Prices were very reasonable especially coming from Toronto.
If youre in the area, don't hesitate to give it a shot!

I enjoyed sitting at the bar at Tomlin. I was there on a weeknight (Thursday) late ish as a walk in, and was expecting it to be a bit busier - I was one of the only ones at the bar. But the weather was nice outside so maybe folks were out doing other things!
Service was lovely, food was tasty but kind of reminiscent of a chain restaurant (higher quality, though). The one item I would highly recommend was the coffee pot de crème. *chef’s kiss*

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had! We chose the family style experience —absolutely worth every cent. The portions were generous, and every dish was packed with incredible flavour. Our waiter was kind, attentive, and genuinely lovely. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Thank you so much for having us!
Very good food. I had the Salmon and it was well cooked and flavorful.

This place was it!!!!! Awesome vibes, food and drinks. Went here for my 30th birthday. The servers although busy, had time to chat with my partner and I. Would strongly recommend. The only complaint I would make is that it was noisy. We sat in the dining area which was a bit quieter, but overall it didn't ruin anything.

Please come and try… it’s beyond tasty! The spaghetti really surprised me with its rich but refreshing red bell pepper flavour… looks basic but taste extraordinary.

It's me and my fiance's favorite restaurant and it's not close.
I'm not exaggerating when I say I've never had anything that was okay there. Only absolutely amazing. We get something different every time and have never had anything short of incredible. The servers are always extremely knowledgeable, well humoured and polite. I can't imagine a better restaurant experience.
