February 15.2024 my son and l went to Tomlin's for dinner. What a fine dining experience we had. Totally enjoyed it and then some.Absolutely great customer service, very friendly and knowledgeable. Dinner was super amazing and ambience was awesome,too. The only thing we didn't like was, maybe by mistake the A/C was on. It was rather a bit chilly in the dining room. None the less, we'll be back, next time we're in Thunder Bay again. We can only recommend Tomlin's.A must go!!!

Wow. What an adventure that was. Start to finish, that dinner was supreme. Every dish was its own little universe on the plate. The attention to detail was highlighted from the ingredient selection all the way to the plating. A stunning experience all around.I was joined by my husband and teenage son, both celebrating their bdays. Tomlin was one of the reasons we opted to celebrate bday weekend in Thunder Bay. So glad we did and we cannot wait to come back again.Note on the vibe: It’s beautiful, feels like a cool friend’s house, and is somewhere that makes me feel good inside.Go here. And enjoy every bite.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian choices, and they will accommodate any requests.

Food is always great but the wine list really sucks. I know I know they are trying to promote Ontario wines and a few other really obscure wines but for the most part it does not work for the mainstream. At least not for me. The lack of a variety of wines is the reason we do not go as often as we would otherwise. We would normally bring our own wine and pay the corckage but this time we didn’t and were again totally disappointed with the selection. The low food score is because of the wine list. The food is top notch. The atmosphere is great but be prepared for loud. But I actually enjoy the buzz. But adding a Cabernet and a Malbec to the list would be fantastic. I know we can’t be the only ones to feel the wine is the drawback here.

The food was wonderful. Flavourful and great presentation. Service was spectacular.
The Good Stuff: amazing adventure into food if you choose the "family style" way. I ate things I would never have tried. Unique experience, indeed.The Bad Stuff: It's definitely a noisy little place and too dark for my liking. Couldn't tell what I was eating most of the time.Service was great, however lengthy.Vegetarian options: Between having one vegetarian, one siliac and one lactose intolerant within our group, we were accommodated.

All their dishes are amazing but we are always blown away with their preparation of fish. Today it was the Cod En Papillote; phenomenal. That goes for the entire staff as well.

Hands down within my top 3 list of restaurants in Thunder Bay! The food is always amazing. And the portions are generous. The beef burgers on Tuesdays and the chicken burgers on Wednesdays are just exceptional for the price point of $15 for a very generous sandwich and side (salad or fries - both fantastic). Ambiance is bustling, lively, and loud. The tables do feel smaller and closer together, but I don't mind it. The service has always been very friendly and prompt. Beware the waitlist fills up quickly after open at 5pm, and you can only join it in person. Sometimes you have to wait 1-1.5 hours if you get there during peak meal times. They only accept reservations for parties of 6 or more. One day I would love to try the tasting menu (need a minimum of 4 people).

One of the best restaurants in Thunder Bay, I always recommend friends from out of town come here. Their menu is ever changing so it’s always exciting to visit very few months to see what’s new. Service is fantastic, everyone is so attentive and knowledgeable. On Tuesdays they have burger/veggie burger nights $15 for a huge burger and a giant plate of fries, you can’t beat that when a McDonald’s Big Mac costs the same. Come here instead. Wednesday’s are their chicken burger night, same price I believe. Desserts are fancy and unique. Their coffee pot de creme is a must try. Their bar menu always changes and every drink is very well crafted and delicious. They offer unique and fun mocktails for those who do not drink. The ambiance is lovely, very clean space, spacious single use bathrooms. Please note that the restaurant is quite small and tables are a little close together. It definitely isn’t quiet. But don’t let that deter you, this is an excellent dining experience. Come here for your next special occasion, you won’t regret it. For what you get, their prices are extremely reasonable. I think last time I came here, at 2 drinks each, multiple apps, two entrees + dessert the bill was still under $200. Great value for everything. Unlike some fancy restaurants here that charge you $30 for 2 bites of pasta. You’ll leave here full and satisfied with leftovers to spare.
