Partial menu and freshly brewed coffee!
Sidney B.

Anothee great "hole in the wall" breakfast/lunch spot! Plenty of seating and both street and nearby parking ramp options. Friendly and prompt staff and a variety of menu options. I can't recommend the breakfast quesadilla enough!!

2 waffles w/ homemade cream cheese in the center, real maple syrup

Literally leaving this review as I've had my first bite of hands down the best waffles I've ever had. Hands down THE best breakfast place in TBay, don't miss out!

Finn Pancakes

Definitely one of the better places in Thunder Bay I have been for breakfast. Ample seating for groups and clean surroundings. Menu has plenty of offerings. I think their specialty are "Benny's" which are basically Eggs Benedicts with different fillings/toppings. Otherwise you can get your omelete or Finn pancake fix here. Quality of food that comes out of the kitchen is pretty good. I would definitely return.

I love this place! I always order their fried egg grilled cheese and hollandaise sauce on the side. It's just the perfect day off breakfast for me!

Big fan of FeastON® restaurants so was hoping to arrive in Thunder Bay from the west to be able to…read moregrab dinner here at Tomlin. Walked in around 7pm and were promptly greeted and asked if we wanted to sit at the bar or dining room. We chose the dining room so we walked down the narrow wooden floor hallway to a back area where their dining area was. The table already had drink menus on it which makes sense as reviews say this restaurant is great for cocktails and they have a huge selection of wines. Our server soon brought over water for us and food menus. She asked if either of us had any food allergies, which we didn't. Also explained which section was appetizers/shareable plates and which were mains. Also mentioned that the menu is seasonal and everything on it currently is so good. After giving us some time to choose, she took our order. We ordered one shareable, Tuna Crudo. It was well balanced being sweet, sour, creamy, fresh, and with a tiny little kick. It made it evident that the mains would be really tasty as well. Server came back to not only take away the empty plate, but also swapped out our small plates and cutlery for new ones. Both of our mains arrived at the same time, descriptions of what ingredients were in each. Portion size was definitely fair (not too little and not huge) so we left satisfied and full, but not stuffed. Only regret was that we were only a party of 2, otherwise would have loved to order their Family Style Tasting (the table next to us had it and everything looked delicious). In terms of ambience, seating is cozy, as there isn't a whole lot of space between tables, but it's workable. As well, the lighting is pretty dim for our preference, but can understand why others might enjoy it. We walked over from our hotel, but looks like there is street parking in the area. Overall, had a very pleasant dining experience and service and hospitality was top-notch.

If you ever find yourself in Thunder Bay -- Tomlin is absolutely a MUST. Arguably the most upscale…read morerestaurant in town, it doesn't have a pretentiousness that you encounter at some places. Rather, the friendly service, innovative cookery, and high quality, locally sourced ingredients speak for themselves. I was in town to celebrate my birthday and this place was so special. Also if you want something a little more casual, they have a pizza place a few blocks away tucked inside a brewery, which is also fantastic!
