Was OpenTable Diner at Tonka a mag?
We enjoyed our meal immensely. It was a little to dark to read the menu without a flashlight! The staff made us feel very comfortable and shared plenty of knowledge with us. View all feedback.

What OpenTable Diner dislikes about Tonka:
Food was good, tasty and different.... best asset. Cocktails were also of interest. Service was a little robotic going through motions. We over ordered on recommendation and could not experience deserts. Wine list is over the top on many fronts including price. View all feedback.

Just incredible!! The food, staff, atmosphere, decor, wine everything was incredible. Joyce helped us selected the food and Travis introduced is to the most amazing wine to complement the food. You will regret not coming!!

The prawn market fish special was amazing, huge prawns and extremely tasty sauce, crumb and accompaniment. The brussel sprouts were knockout. I also tried a margarita mocktail and oyster with white anchovy and cumquat, both spot on for flavour. Fantastic and friendly service from Izzy and Zoe. Would recommend, probably with more people so more dishes can be shared. Definitely okay for solo or couples as well. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $100–120 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
