That should have been our first clue. The fish batter was OK. The fish was also OK. The tartar and shrimp sauce were nothing to write home about. The coleslaw was basic. My son couldn't eat his fish tacos and this boy lives for tacos. The broccoli as my daughter side was steamed perfectly, but very, very bland. If you're looking for a place that is mostly mediocre and does not surprise much, this would be the place.

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.

** SORRY FOR BEING RUDE, BUT UNHAPPY WITH UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR***…read more First time here at friends recommendation. Food was good but we were told to leave and eat outside as my mother just took few bites from my food as she was not hungry and was new to canadian taste. Not happy at all with what the manager/lead at site told. They provided the container and advised us to eat outside. It is not a buffet nor we are allowed to refill or something. What is the point to eat inside or outside the resturant. The manager literally came and refused and told to eat out as they will not allow my mother to take few bites. I paid the amount, it's on me if I need to share with 1 or 100 people. I paid for the food and portion can't go beyond what it can hold. UNHAPPY WITH THE SERVICE AND ATTITUDE OF WORKERS.

Enjoyed a birthday dinner for 2 at Caribou. The table was on the smaller side as the restaurant…read moreitself is smaller and tends to be pretty packed. The blackened pork chop was cooked to perfection - moist and juicy. I really enjoyed the apple sauce and vegetables, which paired really nicely with the pork. The Malfadine pasta was also nice. It was my first time trying rabbit - if I didn't know better, I would have believed it was chicken. It wasn't gamey in the slightest. The truffle flavour was more subtle than I expected. Though it's hard to critique the cook on either dish, I wouldn't say it was outstandingly delicious or unique. I am not necessarily eager to come back to try other things on the menu. To our surprise, the restaurant also gave us 2 desserts on the house! The cheesecake and tart were both very good and not overly sweet. Though I wish I had ordered their signature raspberry dessert instead of the lemon tart as it seems more unique. Overall, very good food and service. Would recommend for a special occasion.

Once we stepped in, we were warmly greeted with a lively dining room, and were quite surprised with the diversity and uniqueness of the menu. We started with Canadian old-fashions, and crab cakes. For dinner had their bus 16 oz steak special which was very nicely done, and the rabbi pasta. We Wish we had more room to try the pizzas because they looked great. We Finished it off with the peanut butter cheesecake. The waitress was charming and very helpful with making our decisions, even though she was supporting a very busy room. A real gem for thunder Bay, great place and great value. It's well worth the five minute drive away from the touristy downtown choices.

I was literally dumping salad dressing on my fish and rice just to flavor. They automatically add a 20% gratuity to the food so they can pay their staff a " living wage." I am a very generous tipper, but I also tip on service. Our waiter never came back after we got our food or asked if we wanted more drinks until we were finished. He was kind of condescending to the people behind us when they asked questions about the menu. Unfortunately, if they don't have to work for their tip, they're not gonna do much more than they have to. My husband's chicken was pretty good, that got it up from two stars to three.

We were there for a nice, relaxed meal and we were not rushed to order which was appreciated. We got cocktails to start - Amethyst Mine and Cucumber Basil Smash. I enjoyed the Amethyst Mine but my partner indicated he would not order the Cucumber Basil Smash again. My main course was the Novemburger with salad and my partner's was the rigatoni. The presentation was great; I really liked the dishes! I am not great at describing flavours, so I will just say this - the Novemburger was the BEST burger that I have ever had. It was SO flavourful. The beef patty was delicious. The rigatoni was good, but my partner said he wished he got the Novemburger, too. After our main courses, we got dessert and coffee. Cannot recall what exactly the dessert was called but it was some sort of matcha tart. It was creamy and delicious, but the best part was the pastry. So good!
