Nathan "CoffeeNate" S.'s Profile

My family have been patients of Dr. Cooper for 10 years. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else!  The staff are warm and welcoming, and Dr. Cooper is always thorough and knowledgeable.

Easily the best Chinese food in Sault Ontario!  Try the sesame chicken and crab ragoons. Take out / delivery only.

I had my vehicle detailed here once.  During the cleaning of the interior, the color was bleached out of my console around the area where the heat controls are.  I also had to bring it back to have the engine cleaned and the car waxed, as this was not done as agreed.  When I brought the bleached console to the owner's attention he stated "We didn't do that.  There is nothing we use that would do that!"  When I stated that it wasn't like that when I had brought it in he simply reiterated that his business was not responsible for it.  After going back and forth for a period of time, he agreed to redye the area and it turned out just fine.  The actual detailing of the vehicle was okay, not particularly spectacular, but acceptable.  I am giving the single star based on their lack of customer service, and the attitude of the owner.

I wish I could rate this place 2.5 stars :P  The building is newly constructed in 2010 and the rooms are nicely finished.  The decor of the entire building is top notch and the staff members are friendly.  The great thing about the room was the full kitchen (minus an oven).  Nice to have a fridge, freezer, and dishes :) That is the end of the positives.  

Upon checkin I requested to pay with cash, and was refused!  "We don't take cash" was the reply, but they seem to freely accept cash when they sell a pint of $12 ice cream or $3 beverage...just sayin.  Breakfast is truly 'continental' with toast, cereal, yogurt, and juice.  We stayed in a 1bedroom King Suite and our family of 5 was provided (4) of everything...towels, dishes, utensils etc.  When you book online you indicate how many are in your party, and you would think they would prepare the room accordingly.  The pool area is quite nice, although a bit small.  There is a waterslide that entertained our 3 boys, but the entire pool area had a capacity of only 25 people, and this included spectators!  Of the 3 attempts are using the pool, we were denied entry on 2 of them.  One time I had to watch the boys from the window in the hallway.  What a ridiculous set up!  Remember our room only had 4 towels?  Well, the pool was out of towels as well, and we actually washed ourselves the day before and we had to walk through the hotel dripping wet to get back to our room :P  If I could reserve this hotel at $100 or less, I would do it again, but not for the rate that we paid.

There is no need for you to subject you or your family to this place. Really!  The menu is written in hillbilly and frustrating to read. The only items on the menu are sandwiches and deep fried chicken. We had the 'seafood' buffet for a mere $18. This gourmet meal includes a salad bar with 3 vegetables ( one of which being green tomatoes...they were supposed to be red) The restaurant reeked of moldy musty carpet soaked in grease. According to my wife, the women's restroom wall was covered in fecal matter. Not exactly what you look for in a dining establishment.

The ambiance is great, with cozy chairs and couches.  The staff are warm and friendly.  The brewed coffee is okay, but the espresso is hit and usually miss.  There is not a real espresso bar in town, so this may be as close as you get.  In general, every coffee shop in Sault Sainte Marie could use a huge amount of training in proper coffee preparation!

The food is okay, but not at the quality level you would expect from this price point.  The atmosphere is business casual, with a bar in the restaurant.  I don't feel comfortable bringing my children here, and at these prices I wouldn't anyway.  I have not experienced any bad service here, and the desserts are good.

Dr. Joe has been my childrens' primary physician for years.  He is very attentive and isn't afraid to tell you if something is outiside of his area of expertise, but he will get the answers you are looking for.  Dr. Garlinghouse is very professional, but very personable and down to earth.  I would recommend his services to anyone.

A weak 3-stars.  The food is decent, and they have a great breakfast, but the service is atrocious!  For years I have eaten at Uncle Gino's at least monthly, but after 5 consecutive negative experiences, I stopped going there in the summer of 2009.  From incorrect orders to 45 minute waits for food, to condescending staff, I finally had enough.  I do miss their sausage patty breakfast!

If you are looking for a traditional church with pews, a minister dressed in a 3-piece suit, and a choir...The Summit isn't for you.  If however, you desire to meet friendly people, learn more about God, and don't mind a pastor wearing shorts, then you'll feel right at home.  The Summit is a 'place to belong' no matter where you are in your spiritual journey.  You will immediately feel love and acceptance at this relaxed family church.  In addition to the great people you will meet, you will also be blessed with sound teaching that inspires and challenges you.  The worship band, The Summitband, is blessed with exceptional talent and will create an atmosphere that is conducive to celebrating God's glory, and offering your praise to Him with contemporary praise and worship songs.  Whether you are new to the Sault & looking for a church home, you're not currently plugged into a church, or just want to visit, come to The Summit, a place where you belong!
