Tomlin
A farm-to-table restaurant on Red River Road serving seasonal small plates to share and handcrafted cocktails, often called one of Thunder Bay's best dining experiences.
Located on Red River Road in the historic old town of Port Arthur. It works with local producers and serves seasonal ingredients as small plates to share. The flavours blend Italian and Southern American styles, the menu changes often, and the cocktails are carefully crafted. It has a TripAdvisor rating of 4.6, and reviewers say its quality rivals that of Toronto and Montreal. The tasting menu is recommended, and reviews often mention the Mafalde pasta, the fried pork chop, and the fried chicken sandwich with local Heartbeat hot sauce. Open for dinner, the restaurant is lively and dimly lit. Small groups generally cannot book, so you can wait at a nearby bar, and the restaurant will text you when your table is ready. About CAD 50–80 per person, a short walk to the lakefront marina.
