Sublime Ale House in San Marcos
Enter the Sublime Ale House and you will find yourself in a tranquil setting with urban loft decor. Exposed ceiling beams, bricks and gleaming wooden tables create a modern and modern feel, while the design remains family-friendly and ideal for groups of adults.
The square bar, serving a large list of craft beers and a selection of wines, is located towards the center of the space with picnic-style bar tables to your left. These are open seating, while the rest of the tables around the bar and restaurant are for dinner seated by the host or hostess.
Sublime Ale House’s claim to fame is its mac and cheese menu. It’s made with béchamel cheese and topped with Parmesan breadcrumbs, which when baked to perfection in Sublime’s oven, gives the top layer a crisp edge. Beneath the top crust are heaps of elbow macaroni, decadent melted cheese, and your choice of other toppings.
Although you can create your own mac and cheese by picking and choosing from Sublime’s extensive list of ingredients, there are exclusive creations that sound so good that you will probably end up trying one of the restaurant’s creations; after all, they know what they’re doing when it comes to mac and cheese. Try the crush, which is mixed with truffle oil and wild mushrooms (I especially like this one with added ham and tomatoes) or the ecstasy, which comes with gorgonzola béchamel, bacon, mushrooms, red pepper, garlic and thyme.
The macaroni and cheese of the same name, the Sublime, is also a big hit with rotisserie chicken, mushrooms, Applewood smoked bacon, and truffle oil.
Sublime Ale House also has a grilled cheese menu, including homemade bread, a variety of cheeses, and a crispy Parmesan crust. You can choose the basic four-cheese grilled cheese, which is made with cheddar, gruyere, Monterey jack, and gouda, or you can choose to add more adventurous toppings like meatballs, jalapeños, roasted garlic, prosciutto, or a variety of other ingredients. .
Sublime also has pizza and burgers. The burgers are made from three different cuts of meat, all ground in-house. Like grilled cheese and mac n ‘cheese, there are a variety of toppings you can choose from for your burger, from staples like bacon and avocado to bolder ingredients like spinach dip or eggs. The pizzas are made with dough that is created in-house. Signature pizzas include creative pastries like Get Figgy Wit It, which has figs, ham, balsamic glaze, arugula, Parmesan, olive oil, and garlic.
Meat lovers will enjoy the Gratitude Pizza, which comes with homemade meatballs, artisan sausages, and pepperoni.
