66 Court St S, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 2X3, Canada
Sophisticated, intimate bar & restaurant offering steaks, seafood, cocktails & a long wine list.
They were kind enough to open on a Sunday to host our staff Christmas party! They knocked it out of the park and we all left happy with a belly full of wonderful food. Definitely one of the top restaurants in TBay!
Great!!!!! The ambiance was inviting, giving a memorable dining experience. I opted for the shrimp and scallop linguine, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. Each bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's mastery in the kitchen. The service was impeccable; our server went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met with a genuine smile. Though the prices might be on the higher side, every dollar spent felt justified considering the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere. I left the restaurant feeling thoroughly satisfied and already planning my next visit. A definite five-star gem worth restaurant!!!
We were visiting from out of town and needed a restaurant for dinner. We could only get a reservation for 8:30pm on a Saturday. Wow. The food here is fantastic. Highly recommend the pan seared duck breast. Very delicious and filling. Servings are not small. Great to see downtown PA coming back to life again with many good and fun restaurants.
It was lovely! Our server (Alex) was great at attending to every one. The food was fantastic! I got the halibut, and was very surprised to see it was a big, thick portion, and that lobster sauce was soooo good. Keep in mind, it is expensive, but worth it! Thanks for the wonderful meal, Lot 66!
Great dining experience last night. My friend and I both had the special which was Halibut with a warm Lobster sauce and it was outstanding. Service was excellent as always!
EXCELLENCE!!!! Where do I even start from?!!! The food? The service? The staff from the door all the way to being served? Unbelievably amazing! I was so glad that lot 66 had loads of free parking spots too. Lot 66 quickly filled up completely on a Wednesday night so I strongly advise that people make reservations like we did. We each had a 3 course meal but we only remembered to take some pictures because the presentation was so great that we kept forgetting to take pictures and kept digging in to eat. We had 2 different types of salad for our starters then my husband had the duck (medium) with rice and I had a 16 oz rib eye (medium well) with mashed potatoes. I tasted my husband's duck as well. The entrees were just so delicious as well. Just such a moist melt in your mouth meals. We were celebrating my birthday and I ordered the flourless torte with espresso ice cream for dessert and it was just so delicious. I'm so glad we both kept our tummies empty because their meals are very delicious, very filling and the portions are quite large. We will definitely go back there to eat again. Easily the best restaurant I've been in Thunder Bay and I eat out a lot!
It’s crazy that in 2022 a posh restaurant like this patrons are greeted by stairs at the main entrance. That’s pretty much a door slammed shut for seniors and people with disabilities who can’t climb stairs. The restaurant ambiance was great. I had the rack of lamb, pear blue cheese salad, and cheese cake and it was all delicious. The server was attentive, however she always was interrupting us mid sentence to ask us how we were doing. She even interrupted us to boisterously tell us which knife was for each dish as she placed each of the knives on the table, it was super weird. Overall this was a great experience with the exception of the lack of barrier free access to enter the restaurant.
Some of the best food I've had in thunder bay. I had the maple salmon with risotto and the girl friend had the lamb with mashed potatoes. We also had 2 starters; crab cakes and calimari. Everything was super good. I highly recommend the fruit cocktails they make in house (and are only $4.) very good! I think me and the gf will go again, and I will definitely get the salmon again. One of my favorite dishes of all time.
Had a great time with great friends. The food was amazing!!
I worked there for awhile and trust me you do not want to eat here. There are bed bugs, I first found out one day in the change room. The downstairs dry storage area and employees washroom completely floods from backed up sewer water which the owner had me mop up. They make large 40 litre batches of their sauces and then freeze them, so its far from fresh. When I moved on from there they never paid me my final check, nor did they even issue me a T-4 to this day, and this was well over a year ago. All their rags, and dinner table linen and napkins arent professionally washed. Just whoever throws them in the washer throws them in the wash(home style model) no procedure. Although the waitresses and waiters are GREAT ppl. After I moved on the owner made up lies about me during reference calls for no reason at all. There ARE some good ppl working in the kitchen also though.
Really nice gem of a restaurant with a creative menu.
Excellent Restaurant! Something for pretty much everyone.. Owner/Chef Mike Roulston continues to impress, with both his Menu and his team. We always feel at home at Lot66!
Delicious meals all around (new york steak, salmon, pasta dish) accompanied by great service and a good atmosphere made for an enjoyable experience.
Amazing service and food. We were visiting from further south in Ontario and were looking for great food. We enjoyed the steak and seafood pasta which both tasted great. Ben was very attentive and friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys amazing food.
We come here every time we visit TB (1-2 times/yr). We are not disappointed with the food. Service is fast and friendly. Last visit the food was okay - but the menu is static as it hasnt changed since last year. Some food pairings just...dont make sense or pair well (maple garlic champagne salmon with chipotle cheddar risotto?). The same sides are offered for different menu items which creates monotony (same risotto is paired with the salmon and the NY strip, wild rice blend is paired with the duck and the garlic shrimp). While there are certain things that are on the menu that are signature items, I would encourage chef to create some new dishes, tweak side offerings, or even bring back older offerings with an updated flavour - the forest mushroom gnocchi offered a number of years ago was delicious - to avoid a static menu.
Amazing food, great service, and it was lovely sitting on the patio for a summer evening meal. Definitely recommend!
Went for dinner with my husband recently. The food was ok. I had the shrimp dinner with rice. The shrimp were tiny and overcooked, which made them dry. The plate was mostly rice. My husband had the gorgonzola chicken which he said was rubbery like it was reheated. The service was excellent and our waitress was attentive and cheerful. We left without dessert or coffee after dinner because the music was so loud and pounding that we couldnt even have a conversation. It sounded like the same song in a pounding loop.
Two of my colleagues got vicious food poisoning, so 2 stars even though the food was amaziny tasty.
The caring energy of the staff was a breath of fresh air.. creating very comfortable and well enjoyed atmosphere. Literally a universe of golden stars to the staff. Definitely heading back there soon.. the food btw was gorgeous.. i drove home with nothen but smiles. Every visit I have had here has been 100% more then satisfied. From going in alone.. romantic dinners with my partner.. to even a event inwhich lot66 reserved the restaurant for my familys celebration of life for the passing of my cousin. Such beautiful atmosphere.. but its honestly the staff and the food which brings me back.. I recommend this restaurant before any other in thunder bay if your looking for amazingly friendly staff.. Devine foods.. and beautiful atmosphere.
Very friendly staff and excellent food. Love the vibe and atmosphere
Fantastic local referral to someone who travels for work and is always on the lookout for a great spot to eat and get a great experience! Try the Salmon!
What an awesome place for a relaxed upscale dinner. We shared a plate of fresh oysters before diving into one of the best steaks I can recall. The top shelf cocktails took the whole experience over the top! Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options even if customization is required.
Worst Pizza I ever had , I dont understand the thought process and IQ of the chef when they were making this pizza, the spinach was just placed on top of pizza like you add on a salad and there was too much burnt mushroom, complete nonsense!
One of my favourite places to go for date night !!! Always a 10/10
Service was good, but the napkins were damp for some reason. The food was not bad. The caesar salad did not have a lot leafy greens and dressing seemed watery (more so than vingerette). The main course (parmesan crusted chicken with roasted potatoes) was okay. The crust was a little overdone and the potatoes were very bland. For the prices, I feel you can have a better experience in other local restaurants. Nothing majorly wrong with the place, but definitely wont be going back anytime soon.
I cant say enough! The staff, the space, the food!!! Everything was on point. Place was packed and Im glad I phoned for reservations. Bonus parking lot. Rib eye steak and frites, not showing in pic is delish veggie mix of mushrooms, red peppers and zucchini. Cant wait to go back to try seared scallops!
Made reservations for a birthday. Was expecting more from staff and management on this special occasion. No special treatment for the birthday. No birthday wishes or cake or anything. We we had to wait a while to be seated even though we got reservations and were later seated by a cold door -10C draft outside. Food was ok just ok. Server was nice but you can see the management just does care for its customers and I am sure the staff doesn t make much and overworked.
Selection of wine
One of the most delicious restaurants in TBay
Fantastic in every way!
Mike & your staff are simply amazing. On a bitter cold Friday evening we dropped in with 2 other couples and Mike accommodated us we sat at the bar and had dinner and drinks as Mike was training his new recruit! Thank You, from one local business to another... its all about customer service and supporting local. Jon - Gear Up For Outdoors.
Great menu, and the food is very well prepared and delicious. The server went over and above. Much appreciated
I came here twice in July and loved it. Great service, friendly staff and had a positive experience both times.
Visited Lott 66 for the first time last night. Beautiful restaurant! Ordered the PEI mussels as an app, salmon dish and parm crusted chicken dish. All dishes were packed full of flavor and piping hot ! Homemade foccacia to start off the meal, accompanied by a maple old fashioned and a classic martini. Amazing service and overall enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend !
Ben was our amazing server one evening. The whole experience was exceptional, we had the duck, and the lamb and all of it was divine. The wine list was amazing. Will definitely be going back.
Always great and attentive service, and the food/atmosphere is wonderful
8pm on a Saturday restaurant was full with one or two people sitting at the bar rest of the bar empty we were denied service because the bar was closed was told by the hostess we can wait about 49 mins the manager closed the bar because it s too busy has anyone ever heard of something like this ? Who closes the bar at 8pm on a weekend? Update: Havnt been back since!
Food is always perfect and the staff seem really happy.
Wonderful service(Alex)- the meal was superb- thank you for the dining experience
Always amazing. Never disappoints.
One of the best decent restaurants that we have eaten in recent years. We were celebrating our anniversary here and they ve given us the best table. The food, the service, the atmosphere are great. We recommend you to have a nice dinner here.
I definitely just sent a nomination in for Michelin Star no joke! 100% did it! best restaurant in Ontario Canada
Great fine dining establishment! A little pricey but worth it. We had a large group and the service was great and the meal was excellent.
Stephan and Joshua super friendly. Encouraging and fun vibes. Enjoyed the karting and the experience Food : 5/5
Came recommended by cruise ship staff and was excellent.
Beautiful atmosphere Excellent service Gorgeous patio Wine , dinner and appetizers were delicious and well presented
Everything about Lot 66 was excellent from the hostess, to the wait staff, the sommelier, the food, the presentation and the atmosphere. I had the 12 oz strip and my wife had the salmon. Risotto was done to perfection and oh so tasty. The raspberries and caramel finished the entire meal off with that extra finish. Ill come back here anytime Im in Thunder Bay. Loved it!
Last time the food was not good, I ordered crab cake and pasta, the crab cake was delicious but the pasta was so oily, no taste and over cooked. It s not my first time there, but this time I left with a bad experience.
Great service. New menu. Great time.
Amazing wine menu. Great food.
I got the mushroom crostini which was a 10/10 amazing and i got the salmon with the cheddar risotto which was an 8/10. The risotto was delicious, but the reduction was very sweet and kind of overpowered the dish. Overall super yummy and the server was great. The atmosphere is cozy modern. Easy parking in the lot next door. Dietary restrictions: They asked at the beginning of the meal if we had any dietary restrictions. We did not. They also informed us when a dish contained nuts.
I liked the fact that you could communicate without feeling like you would disturb the people on the other side of the room. Waiting services was great. And meal was superb
We had never been to Lot 66, but when we asked our friends for recommendations for our 52nd birthday dinner (we were born 36 hours apart :) ) - the consensus was Lot 66. The reservation process was super great since it was very easy over the phone and then we got text messages for the reservation AND for confirmation, super convenient! Upon arriving, parking was especially great since they have their own lot. Dinner service was amazing. Our server Jennifer, was super nice, knowledgeable and checked in on us just enough to be present but not irritating - not easy to do. Even though Jennifer was pretty busy, she still took time to chat with us and made our night out extra special. I work in the food industry, i went to George Brown College for the Culinary Arts program, and i know a thing or two about food... and the dinner was top notch. My med/rare steak was perfect pink - our shrimp were perfectly cooked... and even the appetizer bread/oil was an over the top experience. In closing... i would not think twice about recommending Lot66 to my friends - and returning next year when we turn 53 is almost a certainty. Parking: best parking downtown.
Excellent meal. I had the salmon cooked to perfection. Always a treat at Lot 66
Service and food were great We will be back !
Food was amazing! Love to support local & everything is made in house. Great hospitality & atmosphere. Appetizer, main dish was delicious.
This was our first time going to Lot 66 and Im so glad we did. Its my new favorite restaurant in Thunder Bay. Restaurant is beautiful and looks like they have a patio in the summer. Everyone was very friendly, inviting, and efficient. Drinks were great and food was spectacular. They serve delicious focaccia with oil and balsamic once you order. We had the escargot and ahi tuna for appetizers and the duck breast and gorgonzola chicken breast for mains. The food was beautiful and made with so much love. I didnt shut up about my chicken all night and the next day. Im still drooling over it! Cant wait to go back again. Special thank you to Mike and Britt for taking such good care of us!
Brittany was our server, she was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious.. 10/10! Highly recommend Lot 66!
Awesome crowd best people
Our waitress was great. I tried the bacon brie pizza and it was amazing! Great atmosphere, clean and tables are nicely distanced.
Love the atmosphere here. The food is always great. Service is 50/50 some nights we have the most amazing server and other nights its just so/so ... but we will always go back.
The food and service was phenomenal. It made me come back for a couple days in a row. It is so nice to have wait staff remember your name and your order, and your favorites
Great food and a wonderful atmosphere
Food was great we had the chicken gorganzola and crusted parm chicken, the duck, steak and chicken bacon linguine. Portions were good. Food tasted amazing and the service was great. The best part is I didnt need to cook or clean.
Was just there tonght and just like the many other times we were there it was awsome !. Friendly staff, delicious food all around great place.
Great food
Excellent food and service
My vegetables were cold...food was just ok. Nothing special. Pear and blue cheese salad was good.
An iconic restaurant of Thunder Bay and one that very much deserves 5 stars!
Nice atmosphere.
Amazing service and a unique menu that feels like a good use of local ingredients Dietary restrictions: Someone in our party is allergic to gluten and was easily accomadated and any concerns from the kitchen were brought forward as well with recommendations Parking: Lot nearby and on street
Great food and service. Filet was cooked nicely and the veggies were delicious.
Good service, awesome food!
Great food great place
Great food and service.
Great food!! Friendly staff!! Awesome atmosphere for small dinners, family gatherings and romantic date nights! The oysters were amazing and the wine was generously varied. Definitely check this out. Competition has come in across the street however this is the classic Thunder Bay experience.
Amazing food as usual. Our server Alex was the best
It was an all around great experience, they were able to offer a lot of gluten free options. The gluten free options didnt have to be modified too much so you can enjoy the food the way the chef intended.
Food, drinks and staffs are amazing
This place was phenomenal. Service was the best. The food was super delicious. Atmosphere was right on.
Great food and great vibe!
High quality food and flavors for a good price, very friendly and accommodating staff, would highly recommend for any special occassion, or if youre just looking for quality cuisine for great value. I will definitely be visiting again next time Im in Thunder Bay. Value 5/5 Quality 5/5 Service 5/5
Our dinner stop in Thunder Bay started out horrendously. Then, we found this quaint little spot. They were far less busy then the other restaurants around it. It wasnt listed on travel advisor. BUT, what a miss itd have been if we didnt end up walking in. The steak and the pasta were both great. The mushroom/potatoe, gravy combo was sooo good. The waitress was amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure our take out order was of the highest standard. Very pleased with the quality of the meal and the effort put in by the staff.
Great food, great service. Never disappointed!
Great food and service! Lovely private outdoor patio.
First time here. We sat outside, great place and the food was very good. Good time with friends!!!
Some restaurants in Thunder Bay have lost their mojo after the covid closures. Lot 66 is not one of these restaurants!
Food was great.
As our first meal in Thunder Bay, it s very satisfying!
Great food and service as always
We visit here often, its always our favorite place to stop for a drink or dinner. The place is spotless clean, wait staff are amazing, lots of free parking and all covid policies are followed. You need to eat here.
Great menu, service and atmosphere!
Definitely one of my go-to places! The service is amazing, the food is delicious. What more can you ask for?
Went here to celebrate my husband s bday and we re both pleasantly surprised by the food. Some restaurants in Tbay we find have inflated reviews with subpar food but this place is actually great. We loved every thing that we ordered. Crazy busy though so service was a tad slow but overall a very nice experience as Lot66 first timers.
I had the lamb. It was skewered. Also the Negroni / Old Fashioneds were good.
I had an amazing here. Lots of good meals to eat. Lots of enjoyment with my friends at Christmas party.
Good food good service
Great atmosphere and friendly staff
Really nice restaurant, would be a very good place to talk a date, or your wife out for a nice romantic meal.
Good restaurant
Great food and great service
Nice little surprise to find in Thunder Bay, very efficient staff, I would go back in a flash, great wine selection. We ordered the duck and steak...duck was perfect... The steak had to have a redo since the blue was missed the first time, but they were able to redeem themself on try 2...and the risotto was impecable!! Worth a detour if you in the aera..
Food was tasty albeit somewhat pricy, place seems popular with 20 somethings on a Saturday night. Thin crust pizza was tasty but crust is awful (throw out the recipe!) Waitress was friendly and funny but service was slow and food took a while. Might be better on a less busy night. Nice place and decent food but not exceptional for the price.
Fantastic Menu choices for covid time... service... food... drinks all very good.
Great menu. Cool look. You should be able to count on a bice nught out here
Great service. Ordered the artichoke hearts but they didnt agree with me, not sure if the cooking style changed but they were very deep fried from what I remember. Told the server this and she was nice and didnt put it on the bill. The new york steak was excellent.
Excellent service. Food was delicious!
Food was great but probably the worst service I ve ever experienced, threw us in the back room when multiple tables were available, came every 30-40 minutes to see if we were okay. Asked 3 times for bread which was forgotten over and over again. Overall food was great (pricey) but experience was less than average.
Great service and an amazing meal. Felt like we were back in Italy! We both shared the mushroom crostini and crab cakes appetizers and enjoyed the bolognese pasta and shrimp and scallop pasta. Amazing, tasted so authentic. Highly recommend and we will be back!
Best Steak in Thunder Bay
Excellent as always
Great service and even better food. Many menu items put a new spin on classic dinner items. Definitely worth the price.
I am impressed with the service every time I m in this restaurant. Even if we are just stopping in for a drink, the bartender is friendly and welcoming. The menu variety is exceptional. The quality of food always exceeds expectations and the quantity leaves you satisfied. This is a must destination for visitors to Thunder Bay even if it s just to sit at the bar, have a drink and a friendly conversation.
Great food and service!
Great food, service and ambiance
Good food good time
Amazing food and great service and the chef personally came out to discuss my allergy. Would of gave 5 stars if there was a change table in the bathroom. Also it goes up on a slant and seems like a safety hazard especially since the one toilet is on the slant. Salmon came with risotto which I felt overpowered the dish since it had a lobster cream sauce on top. Was also hoping since said lobster cream sauce its include a little of actual lobster.
Best nachos
Excellent meal as always.
Wonderful food and great service! Thanks Mike and crew!
Awesome spot for a date or even just drinks. Really cool atmosphere inside, with a very neat ceiling. It may seem small from the outside, but there is a considerable amount of space and even private rooms for larger groups. The food is on the expensive side and definitely worth it, very tasty. I had the duck with blueberry reduction and it was superb. A little noisy in when I was there but it was a saturday and that is to be expected as it was pretty much full. Also, they have a pretty large list of wines. Overall a wonderful experience! A cut above other places in Thunder Bay. Will be returning in the future!
Attended a wine and cheese night at this location. The aged gouda definitely stood out - incredible.
The service was great. It is a small and loud room.
Their food and service is among the top in thunder bay. I have never had a bad experience here and doubt I ever will.
Best restaurant in thunder bay
Great atmosphere. Great and prompt service. Risotto Balls need some help; 2 orders and the rice was undercooked both times. Price is $$$. Always a hot spot for meeting up with friends.
Brie and phyllo starter, you cant go wrong! Duck breast was also well prepared and tasted great.
Good food staff friendly . Need to update menu
Delicious food, excellent service.
Great food great service and all around fantastic evening out
Its just an amazing place for enjoy . I liked the wide selection of vine . Interior is amazing . Great services. i enjoyed a lot . and local band make the environment with they performance .
My new favourite place to eat. All the staff, both front and back, are without a doubt the best in town. The food will make you convinced that there really is a heaven.
Thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the oysters!
Awesome service...great atmosphere and amazing food ! We had a great time!
Food, service and atmosphere are all great
Food and atmosphere are amazing!
Very busy so best to book ahead. Theres table service or great bar seating. Excellent service and food.
Higher prices. Get Daves fried chicken.
Bad service
Havent been to Lot 66 for some time. Went recently with a group of friends. Dinner reservations were 6pm and the restaurant was packed. As each couple brought a bottle of wine, we asked if we could pick out some items off the menu and have it served family style. Mike (chef/owner) agreed. We had the mushroom crostini, charcuterie board, veal chops, truffled mushroom risotto and pear and walnut salad. Service was quick and attentive. Only negative was that the restaurant was quite loud, which made conversation difficult. However, the evening was excellent and everyone had a great time! Will definitely be going back more often.
Thoroughly enjoyed a delicious dinner in Thunder Bay, Ontario tonight at #Lot66. The food was creative and beautifully presented. Everything tasted delicious and the atmosphere was really hip, festive, and fun. Thank you Chef/Owner Mike Roulston for a fabulous evening!
Food and atmosphere was excellent!
food was quite good.servers were great. we were there with a rather large group so taking orders and serving occurred accordingly with arrival of all guests. it was quite busy, a bit cramped and pretty loud. I couldnt hear what the person across the table was saying at times. overall a good experience. resources locally for their menu items, which I always love to see.
Excellent! Professional & friendly staff, the food was perfect! For a gang of 22 people, the food flowed easily to the tables & the empty ones left quickly. The chef & his team were well orchestrated. Thank you for the fine dining experience!
Quite enjoyed the meal, service was very nice as well. Clean welcoming environment. Sorry no photos was to busy eating and enjoying company of others.
Other than the drunk gentleman crashing into the back of my girlfriends chair and hurling her against the bar..... it was a good experience. She did get a little hurt. This kind of stuff should not happen at establishments of this caliber.
