Pro-tip: If you eat somewhere else, make sure to save room for dessert at Rise Souffle!! Oh man. What a special experience. First, you walk in and you're introduced to a small, charming, and warm space that looks straight out of a children's fairytale. Don't forget to grab a little surprise card (child friendly and adult friendly) either before you sit down or on your way out. Cute conversation starters and reflection inspiration! My objective of the night was dessert, so I didn't even bother to look at the savory souffles. While waiting for our server, my eyes were captivated by the twinkling lights around me (in the indoor space) and the sight and sounds of the chefs whisking away the souffles before they went in the oven. I was expecting Ratatouille's Remy to pop out. Anyway, as we gazed through the dessert menu, we thought we were enlightened already, but it only got better -- the specials: Strawberry and Pistachio. I'm regretting only getting the Pistachio because it was just so dang good. Will definitely be back. Austin is missing out. To the owner - Wonderful job bringing a taste of your French childhood to Dallas. read more

Is it worth the price? Maybe for a first time. Complementary bread was ok. Ham soufflé was good. Pistachio soufflé was just ok. Staff was friendly and environment is dark, but cool. read more

Frito. Chili. Pie. Soufflé. Any restaurant that can make a soufflé with the perfect mouth feel of a soufflé and all of the perfect flavor of a Frito chili pie is likely practicing some arcane magic. Given that, I think you have to rate them five stars or try to rate them six. The spot is lovely. On my visit, the restaurant was full and there were perhaps three males in the restaurant. Which is unfortunate, because the food is absolutely amazing and half of the population doesn't know that. Or at least they didn't know it when I was there. And in case the message at the top of the review wasn't enough: Frito chili pie soufflé. Good God. Service was extraordinary, and our server was familiar with a great number of the wines on their wine list. She offered pleasant and unassuming help, made sure that we were paste appropriately for a very leisurely lunch, and kept our water glasses full. The water glasses are recycled, wine bottles. Which is great, because now I have a home improvement project to do which begins with consuming about a dozen bottles of wine. It's a burden. read more

Great location off Lovers Lane. This is more of an elevated experience. The check for a tea main soufflé and desert soufflé is about $48. The service was fast and friendly and the temperature of the food was great. This place is an easy 10/10. I would highly recommend this location read more

Rise has been one of my favorite restaurants here in Dallas for over a decade! This location I believe is the original and is, in my opinion, the best! I have dined at Rise for many birthdays, including this years once again. Last week, my mom and I visited for lunch to celebrate my 27th birthday. I called ahead to make a reservation and they were able to accommodate us two and even asked about who was celebrating their birthday. I gave them my name and requested to be sat on the inclosed patio, which was accommodated. When we walked in, the hostesses knew of our reservation and we were led to our table. The table had a sweet birthday sign with my name on it, such a kind and personal touch!! If you are celebrating a birthday here, it is definitely worth calling ahead and letting them know. For our meal, we both enjoyed the complimentary bread and butter. I especially loved the presentation and the fun bread cutter. For our entrees, I ordered the Large Rise Salad and my mom ordered the Jambon & Gruyère soufflé. I added chicken to the Rise Salad, which was a perfect addition to the baby greens, roasted pecans, and granny smith apples. Our waiter told us the Jambon & Gruyère soufflé was the most popular savory soufflé and I definitely can understand why. The ham and cheese was not too much or too little, and the texture of the soufflé was perfect as always. Lastly, for dessert, we shared the Banana Foster Soufflé. I believe this is a seasonal dessert soufflé for September and/or fall. It was excellent! It was served with powdered sugar on top and a birthday candle to celebrate! Such a nice touch! In conclusion, Rise has always stood out in the Dallas restaurant landscape and always delivers every time. The soufflés are thoughtfully made and the texture is always the same - fluffy, light and never lacking flavor. I have never tried a soufflé I didn't love! A couple things to note if you're looking to visit: Make sure you call to make a reservation ahead of time and definitely mention any special birthday or occasion because they will make it worth your while. The soufflés take a while to bake, so it is also worth putting in your dessert order when you order your entrees so you're not waiting too long after. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Rise this time and I loved getting to celebrate my birthday here again. Thank you for a wonderful birthday experience! read more

Come to this relaxed bistro with heavily French influences for their spectacular souffle! I got the prix fixe (3 course meal) with marshmallow soup, jambon and gruyere souffle, and raspberry souffle (shown). Be careful the souffle is hot! They were all delicious and amazing in their own right and the staff was so friendly. The dim lighting and painted rocks give a village vibe. I plan to try their other options next, they did a great job. read more

I visited rise soufflé with my family a few weeks ago. I really like the inside and I thought it was really beautiful with all the details. Our server was OK , I felt that she was very awkward and she also did mess up on putting my dad's order in. As someone who couldn't eat gluten I was pretty nervous to go here because I wasn't really sure what I could get and it really wasn't much. I got a salad and wasn't impressed, but the rest of the table seem to their meals. It was nice, but I probably won't be back. read more

Wow, when a place makes you excited to go there during the reservation process, wow! Once inside, that level of service continued! Multiple levels of staff give it a true European service oriented 5 star restaurant feel. Then there is the decor, tables, chairs, plates, and other items that continue that old European ambiance. Lastly but foremost is the food. The best soufflés I've ever had and I've had a lot over the years living next to the Benelux region in the German Eifel. Absolutely creative, tasty, fun to enjoy, and filling! This was for a birthday and suggest this is perfect for memorable dinners! read more

Rise Soufflé is such a fun and charming place! Every bit of décor feels thoughtfully chosen, creating an atmosphere that's both elegant and whimsical. The service was excellent from start to finish--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The truffle and mushroom soufflé was the star of the night. It was incredibly light and airy, almost impossibly delicate. And with such a low calorie count, it's hard to believe something that tastes that delicious can also feel healthy. The French bread was another standout--perfectly crispy on the edges while staying wonderfully moist on the inside. The whipped butter was unbelievably good, light, and flavorful. I also loved that it was served on a charming bread-cutter platter, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Overall, Rise Soufflé delivers a delightful dining experience from ambiance to service to every last bite. Highly recommend! The savory soufflés will be for my next visit I was too full! read more

What a unique French restaurant in Dallas! This was my first time having savory souffles and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I visited with a pretty big party of 7 people a while back, and we opted to order a bunch of different souffles to share (savory & sweet). This turned out to be a great choice because it was so fun getting to sample a wide variety of flavors! Not only did we order a few from the menu, but we also got their seasonal souffles which aren't on the menu. My favorites would have to be the crabmeat souffle, truffle mushroom souffle (you would love this if you're a fan of truffle), and pistachio souffle. Not only was the food phenomenal, but the service was great as well! We started as just a party of 4 before a few more people joined later on, and the staff were very kind in letting us move to a larger table to accommodate everyone. Additionally, the restaurant itself is super cute with the most beautiful colorful plates. Definitely a great spot to visit for a date night or a meal with friends! read more

If you want to feel like you're in Paris, then this is the place. From the moment you enter the breezeway of the restaurant to entering the doors you have been teleported to the countryside of France. The decor is amazing the is a warm and charm there. The way the room was sectioned off it felt as though you had some privacy and you can definitely hold a conversation. But friend spoke French and so did our waiter, which made the experience so much fun. I felt so relaxed there. My friend had the Salmon Slouffle and I had the cream spinach and it was wonderful. But the best was yet to come with the Apple Tart. The crust was so buttery and tasteful. DELICIOUS! I've already told a couple of friends about and we all want to come to Rise! read more

Rise No1 came up on a Google search of restaurants near me. I was very intrigued by the savory soufflés, so I made it a point to try the restaurant during my recent trip to Dallas. I dropped by around 11:15am on a Wednesday. The place already had a few parties seated, but they were able to accommodate my walk-in and placed me at their counter. What a fun little restaurant! Best way I could describe the place was that it had rustic charm but also felt like being in a whimsical fairtyale. If I remember correctly, I read that the owner likes to collect antiques, which attributes to its quirk and character. You just have to see the restaurant for yourself. Service had hits and misses. Appreciated how quickly the food came out. As soon as I placed my order, I immediately got my appetizer and bread service. My soufflé came out shortly after. My server was friendly, but she was hardly attentive or observant. That being said, other wait staff members didn't offer to clear my plate when I was clearly finished. It took a while until my server finally came by to grab my check. The food was excellent though. I ordered the Marshmallow soup as my starter. I mean, how could I not? It sounded really interesting. To my surprise, the dish was a tomato based soup with puffy "marshmallows." My brain wanted to compute that the marshmallows were sweet, but they ended up being light, airy, and eggy - basically marshmallow shaped balls of soufflés. I ordered the truffle mushroom soufflé, which was lovely. I thought it was very flavorful and probably the best soufflé I've ever had. I look forward to trying more savory soufflés from Rise, and I need to save room for dessert soufflés for next time. read more

Extremely rude staff. We came in with friends who had a dog with them. They sat us there and had no problem serving us dinner and allowing the dog. Once we got up to leave, my kids wanted to take a look at the table near entrance, the host ran towards them acting all weird and clearly not wanting kids to be near anything there. They just looked at the table, did not touch anything. It's just a table. Then he started YELLING at my friend that they HAD TO LEAVE AND THEY DO NOT ALLOW DOGS. They just sat us with a dog, they even commented on the fact. Clearly saw it and had no problem. Served us dinner with no problem. Now he STARTS GETTING IN MY FRIENDS FACE demanding that they had to leave?? First of all, we were leaving. Why insult people on their way out? I wish we knew that before going in. Food was ok. We obviously won't return. read more

Was absolutely delighted after firth visiting. The interior is playful yet elegant, always something catching your eye. The marshmallow soup was delicious! So glad we took the recommendation.

Early dinner with Bill and Sherri. Sherri loved this place. We eat here whenever we come to town. Bill had never been here. It was all a new experience for him. He was amazed at the presentation of the soufflés and ate every bite. I got the giant lobster soufflé. It was one of those "I'm gonna eat this because I'll may never see another one" kind of meals. It was one of the most delicious things I've ever put in my mouth. We bought one of their cookbooks. Maybe one day we can make our own soufflés. read more

It was a joy trying Rise Soufflé. This was my first experience trying a soufflé, and I was not disappointed. The soufflés here are so delicate and light. They are really lovely to admire before you start eating. During my visit, I chose a savory option. I had the southwest chicken which had a really great flavor. I also got a hot chocolate. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of the hot chocolate. It lacked the creamy rich taste I normally enjoy with hot chocolate, so I would probably avoid trying that. My one regret is I didn't try any of the sweet soufflés, but I was stuffed from the savory option I got. Their menu had a nice selection of fruit and chocolate soufflés. My friend who was with me tried the chocolate soufflé, and she seemed to really enjoy it. I loved the set up of the restaurant, and it felt very festive for the holiday which was pro. The service did take a bit of time, but I assumed it was because the soufflés are so delicate. We didn't mind waiting though. read more

Service! We had an excellent first time at rise with incredible service! Our server gave us an entire run down of the menu and what to expect. I felt very prepared on what to order by the time she finished. Countless restaurants will give you a menu, leave you alone, and then come back asking if you're ready to order or if you have questions. Rise will give you no choice but to explain the entire menu on your first visit, which is definitely worth it, as they take pride in their menu. Each soufflé is different, and I have never had a savory soufflé, so it was a great experience. I recommend trying one of the seasonal items, as they are rotating and you don't want to miss the chance on an interesting flavor combo. The rest of their menu is also a great variety for everyone. One thing I also liked was that they have wine flights, which complemented the meal well. And a must try is the marshmallow soup. Sounds weird, but there are no marshmallows in it. It has mini soufflés that look like marshmallows floating in a tomato soup. I've never had anything like it. I can't wait to come back and try some other flavors of soufflé. read more

***** READ THIS REVIEW ***** A definite 'must go to' place!!! Incredible atmosphere transports you into a charming European ambience. And the food is equally outstanding!! Rise Salad: Beautiful presentation and looks delicious! Was not mine so I did not sample it - but my friend said it was amazing. Egg Sausage Soufflé: Excellently executed. Light texture, savory flavors and delicious!! (I was impressed!) Grand Mariner Soufflé with both Raspberry and Grand Mariner Sauces: I got both sauces because I assumed the soufflé itself would not gave a strong Grand Mariner flavor which I prefer. Was a great call. I made the traditional X cut and alternated pours to get a perfect blend of both flavors. However, I was extremely surprised at how light the texture and f the sauces were. Amazing!! That technique match the delicate light soufflé and enhance the overall experience!! Incredible techniques in the cook. They absolutely know what they are doing!!!! We had Valorie as our server who just so happens to be a senior member of the staff. Extremely professional, attentive during a busy night, and does not make you feel rushed. Get a table in her section!!! Scores: NOTE: It's very rare for me to give scores this his across the board... but they earned it! Food: 10 out of 10 Atmosphere : 10 out of 10 Service: : 10 out of 10 Congratulations!!!!! read more

To be honest, I was feeling under the weather when I visited this place (Gas station tuna sandwich put me down for a whole week!), so I only took 2 bites of the food I ordered ( I packed the seared tuna salad to go and took 2 bites of the soufflé then felt sick immediately due to the smell of eggs. So I didn't take it to go. And now as I'm typing I just realized why did I order tuna again? What's with me and tuna? Lol). BUT I am not blaming this place AT ALL for this. It was the food poisoning. I am still giving this place a 5 star because how awesome my waiter was! He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu. I am looking forward to coming back to this place when I'm not dying from gas station tuna sandwich LOL read more

This place is just absolutely charming. The little "nest" decor was unique. Just overall a special place tucked away. I didn't know what to expect from a soufflé but these things are large and they are savory and absolutely delightful. They are so good going down, and one of them is enough to feed you for two meals. It does get crowded so plan ahead but the interior is just lovely. The staff was super friendly and attentive. You definitely get your moneys worth. Do not forget to try one of the dessert soufflé, if you have room in your stomach! Definitely a great addition to the area given how unique it is. read more

I don't think souffles are for me. We tried several souffles - Southwest Chicken, Crab, Salmon, Berry, and Lemon. I didn't thoroughly enjoy any of them because of the soggy texture. I can appreciate the craft behind making souffles as they are finicky. We also had the 6 oz. Filet and Green Beans as well as the Seared Tuna and thought they were not worth $50.

We had reservations here for brunch/lunch and I recommend to make them cause the restaurant can fill up quickly The cutting board for the bread was super cute haha Marshmallow soup -- this was pretty good and everything complemented well with each other, this was definitely a savory item that could be shared and still fill you up too Tomato soufflé -- mmm.. this was good, but I may have liked this less now because of the marshmallow soup (since both items were like a tomato-basil) and since a soufflé is already rich with the egg and I'm eating a pretty similar acidic dish... that I was just enjoying less with each bite Pistachio soufflé -- I love pistachio flavors so this soufflé was perfect for me (might've also helped bump this to a 4star review too) but again, because of the richness of just soufflés, and being super bloated from the items earlier, after a couple bites, I also couldn't keep up my grubbing pace I might've ordered the wrong thing (I was eyeing the sandwich...) / our party might've ordered too much (our party of 4 + a baby, there were 6 soufflés in total... along with taste testing each of them too lol) so my palette couldn't handle any more rich items I'd recommend to check this place out at least once if convenient. if you don't love super rich foods, one savory soufflé and one sweet soufflé should be enough for a party of 2 read more

This was a bucket list spot for me, but unfortunately did not live up to the hype. My husband & I came in for date night on the weekend without a reservation, this in my opinion is a win! I love a place that allows both reservations and walk ins! We were sat on the patio which reminded me of my grandmas tea room, but crowded. I honestly didn't feel like I could get comfortable as everyone was so close together. Our waiter was courteous, but not very customer service oriented as I felt everything was very "check box"-esque. We ended up ordering 2 savory soufflés and 1 sweet. All were plated well but nothing was special enough to come back for in my opinion (my favorite thing was the bread at the beginning). Lastly, I didn't feel that we were checked on near enough compared to a standard restaurant experience. All in all, if you really want a soufflé, this is not a bad choice, but I personally will be exploring other cuisine and restaurants! read more

Found such a unique shop & had to come for a visit. We started with the marshmallow soup -- a delicious tomato base soup.
