rise soufflé - Fort Worth

My husband and I went here for the first time recently. In all fairness, I don’t think we are soufflé lovers, and it was first experience at dining at a Souffle’ restaurant together. Our waitress was very nice and we would give her a four, however, as a whole, we weren’t really crazy about the food. We did like some things better than others and we’ll share them here. I ordered the crab soufflé, and although I’m a crab lover, I immediately knew I didn’t like it. My husband, being the gentleman he is, switched his soufflé with mine and ate it. It did taste like a fried crabcake to me and I guess I was expecting something different from that. I do like some crabcakes, but fried seafood is not my favorite. I also got the French Onion Soup and would give that about a four. It wasn’t the most flavorful tasting French Onion Soup I’ve ever had, but it wasn’t the worst either and it seemed to be cooked well. I also ordered the Bread Pudding Souffle for a dessert and I’m glad the sauce came with it, I would give that between a three and a four. My husband got the Marshmallow Soup and he would give it a 3 1/2. He said it was unusual, but it was good. He ordered the Ham and Gruyère Soufflé and really liked that one. He would give it a four and I would give that one a four also. That’s actually the one I ended up eating and I’m glad he got it. For dessert, he ordered the Bananas Foster Soufflé and would give that a four. He liked the flavor profile of that. I was disappointed they did not have bottled water because that is something I not only enjoy, but filtered water is something I need to drink. If they had sparkling water, I can’t really drink that either and so I was disappointed there. I don’t think we’d ever go back there again, but in all fairness, I don’t think that we are soufflé lovers. I might enjoy it more for brunch, I don’t know.

The marshmallow soup alone is reason enough to visit. The goat cheese marshmallows are impossibly fluffy without taking over the carrot bisque soup. Everything here feels thoughtful and refined. There are painted rocks behind the booth seats, no paper towels in the restrooms and instead cloth napkins (torchons) that are washed.

They bring out bread first thing. It is warm, and crusted with whipped. It Paired well with a beautifully balanced Riesling served in a short French style wine glass.

What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our waitress was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. Every recommendation felt considered, and the pacing allowed us to enjoy each course without feeling rushed.

This is the kind of French restaurant that reminds you why technique, quality ingredients, and thoughtful hospitality matter. Quietly impressive, deeply satisfying. I will absolutely be back.

The Souffles always come out perfect and with great savory flavors, I love the spicy sausage souffle abd duck a la orange. They always have fun new specials and offerings. The sweet souffles also do not disappoint, the cranberry champagne I had was awesome. The service and staff are great 👍

My wife and I were there to celebrate our anniversary. Our waitress, Kenna, was such a joy and delight. She took great care of us and always had the warmest smile on her face. She even let us give her a hug before we left, that's how sweet and endearing she was to us. The food, of course, was excellent. Just a magnificent night for us!

As a meat & potato guy, I was skeptical when my wife chose Rise for dinner. The staff was warm and friendly from the greeting to the end and treat you like family. The food is amazing! We shared the Marshmallow soup for appetizer and it was a taste bud party! We ordered a few dishes to share, one being the seared Ahi Tuna. The bread, soup, main course, etc was all 100% perfect!

Will go back, but will change my ordering. A savory and a sweet souffle, while both delicious was too much souffle. Our server was delightful and the atmosphere lovely to share a quiet New Year's Eve with friends. However, they closed very early for New Year's evening. We were hurried out before 10:00. Started dinner with an 8:00 reservation. Wish I had paid more attention to their close time. 3 courses and drinks in under 2 hours is difficult.

Everything about our evening was perfect, especially our server, Kenna. We tried several souffles and other foods and treats which were all delicious. The view of the Christmas lights from the patio and Kenna's attentive and kind service was the capper on the evening.

Great food in a beautiful atmosphere. I love that they can make almost all of the souffles gluten free.

One of my absolute favorite places to enjoy a date night with my husband or lunch with a good friend. Their coffee soufflé’s are absolutely delicious and the cup of onion soup is the delectable. If you don’t have space for dessert, I encourage you to order one to take with you. The atmosphere is warm and peaceful and the service is excellent. It’s also a great place to purchase unique gifts. The next time you are searching for that perfect place to dine, you can’t go wrong with Rise. I do recommend you make a reservation if you have a larger group. If you have to wait for a table, trust me it’s worth every minute of the wait.
