Possible change in chef tastes like trouble

Almost sixty dollars for an oily artichoke appetizer. It was drenched in oil and heavy on the stomach. soggy salad,the lettuce looked old and was dripping with dressing. I took a few bites and knew I was not going to be able to eat it. Even the artichoke croutons were soggy.half eaten loaf, and sushi. To be honest, I was very disappointed. my boyfriend and I both were. I am wondering if there has been a change in chefs? However, that would not explain our pleasant yet unattentive waitress I am trying very hard to not let this experience taint my perception of Sublime. This restaurant has always been a place for me to relax, enjoy time with family and friends, and have some great vegetarian food. I do not understand why this experience was different than the rest of my wonderful memories from Sublime. I hope that my next experience is a good one, it just may take me a little while to return.

Pros: Ambience, Healthy, Non Profit

Cons: Food Taste, Food Quality, Service

Just came from Sublime. There is no way you paid $60 for an appetizer. The main courses are under $20. Maybe you confused your appetizer with your bar bill.

Horrible attitude by the owner and bad service

I have eaten at this place several times and each time it get's worse. The owner told me that if I special order something and it's not right, I can't send it back (I never sent a single dish back there), and I have to pay for it! Nothing about me being satisfied. She could care less. Her "niceness" is phony, the prices are ridiculous for what you get, the service has become indifferent, and they refuse to cater to special requests even though their menu says they do, unless you agree in advance to accept it, no matter how it comes out. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE. They don't deserve my business and with their miserable attitude, i have no doubt they will be gone eventually.

very unimpressed - vegetarian food for meat eaters

Sublime seems to have been designed to entice meat-eaters to try vegetarian food because many of the dishes are named after - and unfortunately, taste like - traditional meat dishes.

For example, some of their dishes were called:
Pot Pie, Sublime Loaf, "Steak" sandwich, and Mac N Cheese.

The waitress recommended the Pot Pie. I should have been more suspicious. I never ate a meat Pot Pie but imagine that this must have been very close in taste. I had to go get a juice afterwards to wash the awful taste out of my mouth. My dining partner ordered the Sublime Loaf and had a similar experience.

I don't get the idea of trying to make vegetarian food taste like meat. Most vegetarians and vegans are disgusted by the taste - or even the small - of meat. This place was a real turn-off.

All of the dishes were overpriced, but on the positive side I must say that the atmosphere was upscale and very nice.

For us, a much better alternative in that area is about 20 miles north- SOMA Center cafe in Lake Worth. Inexpensive, raw vegan food that is much, much better than Sublime.

Pros: nice atmosphere

Cons: dishes taste like meat, overpriced

its inappropriate to bash a place and then put an ad for your own. and, hello, if you are not one of the many people who like pot pie, then would it be a better idea to order one of the many dishes they serve that are unlike the potpies? when I go out to eat, i try to pick dishes i think i would like, not those i have never liked and challenge a cafe to change my mind about it.

Disappointing

I visited sublime once more (last time was a year ago) hoping to find great vegan food. I love the atmosphere but the food and service were a real disappointment. My servers on both visits had something in common, they acted as if they just didn't care about the customer. If I'm paying for a good meal I expect to be treated as a valued customer, I guess sublime's servers don't share that feeling. The food was still lacking imagination or taste. It was very bad, I wish it was better because this is such a pretty place and they help animals. I will not visit again, two strikes you're out.

Pros: Philosophy, Helps Animals, Ambiance

Cons: Worst service ever, Unimaginitive food, They act as if they don't care

Food was good - the service was NOT Sublime

The restaurant seemed impressive enough - the portobello stack was very toothsome, though the potato slices on top were definitely undercooked.

The service was tired at best. The server seemed to care about my food allergy inquiries but never came back with definitive answers. I asked about ingredients in desserts at the beginning of the meal and when he took my plate he never even asked if I wanted coffee or dessert! He seemed to care less that I was there and took care of all the tables around me while I sat waiting (refilling water glasses while mine sat empty.) The wait from time of order to receiving my food seemed longer than normal too.

The owner stopped by my table (a seemingly sweet lady) but quickly left when she realized I wasn't a regular - way to make sure it stays that way!

Go for the food definitely NOT the service.

Pros: Decor, Location, Ambience

Cons: Service, Wait-staff, Timeliness of service

Vegan and Vegetarian Junk Food with Poor Service

This restaurant gets good reviews. My review is not so good. The food is junk food that we would call seasoned with SOS (Salt, Oil and Fat, and Sugar), the stuff we leave behind when we become vegan or vegetarian. I notified Sublime restaurant 3 days prior to my reservation, told them I was oil free vegan. When I wound up at my table, the restaurant had done nothing ot prepare for me. Everything had oil. My wife, who eats oil could not finish her meal because it was too oily and salty. This is not good food. The Chef (Corey Greif) would not even take 10 miunutes to prepare me some Quinoa with oil. Like I said everything had oil in it. The Chef lacked talent and the food was horrible. Even worse was the service. To ignore my needs tells me this restaurant is not serious about healthy eating. The food is junk and the customer service does not exist.

Pros: Pricing

Cons: Oily food without proper taste, Horrible service, Overrated and mis-leading

violently throwing up

Don't eat at this restaurant! My Wife ordered appetizers and was violently throwing up right after she ate it. When I told the owner what happened she showed no compassion and was more concerned about stopping the rest of our dinner order. She did not comp any of the food order my wife got sick with. It would be no stars, but website will not post without giving 2 stars. We will not be returning to this place ever again!

Pros: Can't think of any

Cons: Bad service by owner

Poor Food, poor service

We went there recently to celebrate a special occassion and had a terrible experience. The food was extremely substandard and the wait staff downright curt. For $18 - $20 dishes one would expect some class or quality but the food they serve is worse than fast food. The portion size is also very small, which in some cases I don't mind if the food is good and well presented. But sadly at this place both are missing. Even a novice cooks better food. Service is also not something you would expect at an upscale restaurant. This place is a scam in the name of Upscale Vegan dining.

This place used to be good at one point, but not anymore. If you are looking for good vegan food there are plenty other options in south florida. Save your money and time, go some place else.

Pros: none

Cons: Food is not good , Wait staff is rude, Pricey for quality and quantity
