Reviews for Alternate Grounds Dockside in Sarnia, ON
Ordered fish tacos, paired with a light beer - yum! Server and staff were all very friendly and professional. And our little... pupper enjoyed the outdoor deck patio! Can't wait to come back ???? Read more
My son took me here for my birthday. Staff extremely rude. Asked to sit on patio told it wasn?t open. 5 people in our party with... a baby, making 6, seats us at a small table for 4. Get ready to leave and suddenly there is another table in other room. Aswe sit, people start going on the patio. One male employee was very rude and not quiet about his comments about other customers.As we are eating, the staff are doing shots and drinking beer. Food was good and that?s about the only nice thing I can sayabout this place. Won?t be back and definitely wouldn?t recommend. Read more
Made a reservation to impress an out of town friend. I had asked for an indoor seat or shaded patio table as she is sun... sensitive. We were sat at a patio high top with no cover. We immediately asked to move before ordering. The waitress said she?dhave to consult with other staff. We didn?t see her again until our food came. We again asked to move, and she said it would betoo confusing to the other staff to move now (even though there were empty tables in the shade next to us no one sat at duringour whole visit). As she said no twice, we were too polite to simply move to another table. Eventually we got up to stand in theshade and left our food on the table. We asked for the bill and told the waitress why we left our meals and why we were standingin the shade. She laughed condescendingly and said, ?well this IS a patio?. When we paid our bill at the tent, we explainedagain we hadn?t finished our meals and wouldn?t be returning due to our experience, and the hostess said ?your waitress getsconfused when people switch seats? and turned around and complained about us to other staff while we were still in earshot. Wewere too polite to push it further, but I?m completely frustrated with how it was handled and the ?not my problem? attitudes.Again, we were courteous the entire time, so there was no reason for condescension. My friend was sunburnt to the point ofblistering following our meal and it really dampened our whole weekend. We won?t be returning. Read more

Such a great spot to enjoy with your favourite company. We went mid afternoon,so we missed the lunch and supper rush on the... deck! Our server was super, very efficient and look after us really well. The vibe was chill, the boats out front of us weregorgeous, just an excellent spot to enjoy the water's edge. The chicken tenders are the best! Enjoy your own experience! Read more
We saw a busy footfall at this restaurant while we waited for a table, just to realize how quick the food and service is... considering how busy it was. Undoubtedly an amazing location and the food was delicately presented and tasted divine. We hadFish & Fries, Pad Thai and Kids Chicken Tenders. Overall they operated the whole flow pretty organized Read more
