Review Rise N°2 - Houston

Do yourself a huge favor, and go to Rise! My dining out club F.E.A.S.T. decided to try Rise and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing! Be sure to try the blue cheese on the cheese plate, delicious. And don't skip the Marshmallow Soup...yum! Not only was the food stellar, the staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is elegant but lively. I loved the décor and the table place settings felt so fancy. The pottery for the soup was just too cute. Everyone in our group loved the entire experience. Go check them out, you won't regret it!

It was our first time and it was GREAT. We decided to start with 4 cheeses from their cheese cart. They had a great selection and you can sample before deciding. Their bread was amazing as well. The cheeses come with some nuts, pickles, olives etc.. to cleans your pallet between cheeses. When we were almost done with the cheese we ordered our souffles. My wife went with a dessert one, chocolate, and I went with a savory one, spicy herb and sausage. They were both really great. They take 15 to 20 minutes and we timed them well. As they say at Rise, "You have to wait on your souffle, but your souffle will not wait on you!" The service was excellent and the staff was knowledgeable of the cheeses and other dishes. They were really helpful for our first time. We will definitely go back.

Light, fluffy deliciousness!!! Beautiful setting for great food!! The crab souffle and the mushroom infused souffle were both incredible. Make sure you leave room for apricot, chocolate, or bananas fosters souffle with a cappuccino!!

What a pleasure to eat here! It is my go to place whenever I have guests from out of town visiting (or when we celebrate a special day), very exquisite French soufflés and literally everything else! My recommendation is to share a savory and sweet soufflé with other person since portions are big and you need to try both!. Always pay attention to the season specials since they tend to be the best!

The place is on the second floor above the Mexican restaurant, the place is very noisy due to the loud music and open kitchen, all patrons shouting typical of a restaurant in America so it's hard to conduct a civilized conversation. The service is friendly and attentive although it took time for them to remove finished plates. They mainly have Souffles which are pretty good, I ordered brie with cauliflower, it was good but not great in flavor, kind of bland; the gazpacho soup was really good and authentic, for dessert I had cassis souffle, it was pretty delicious. Plenty of parking on site.

If you are going to come here, get the chocolate souffle. That was hands down the best thing I had here. I have heard the marshmallow soup is also a must, but I did not get the chance to try it. The crab souffle had a nice, fluffy texture, but it was really fishy. I didn't want to finish it, and would not recommend it at all, especially when it costs double what you pay for the chocolate souffle (so good). The bread comes with a cool little cutting board for you to cut your own slices, but it really just ends up squishing the bread down. The cheese platter is good and bad. The good part is that I really liked the truffle infused cheese, brie, and goat cheese. They come in reasonable portions. The bad is that I feel like they did not come with nearly enough pieces of toast. Additionally, their selection of cheeses was kind of limited, with blue cheese variants taking up the majority. The ambiance was not my style, but it was definitely cozy. I did like some portions, and the fact that they used reusable towels at the sink. The biggest problem was they had their own merchandise all over the place. The waitress even tried to sell us their cheese cutter. The biggest reason I cannot give this place anymore than three stars was the service. After getting us some water our waiter just vanished. I eventually had to flag a different waitress down to take our order. That wasn't that big a deal, but what really bugged me was they kept taking away our food before we finished! Every time we got close to finishing, they would come whisk everything away, stacking the plates on top of each other before we could say otherwise. Going back to that chocolate souffle, we had one nice sized bite left that I was saving for my date when the waitress just dropped the check on our table and took it away! The best thing about the restaurant and they didn't even let us finish. On their menu, it reads something like "You will wait on your souffle, but your souffle won't wait on you!" What I thought that meant was the souffle will deflate or something, but nope! What it really meant was if you don't scarf everything down they will literally take your food away from you.

The cutest place!!! The best soufflé!!! We went for HRW 2019 and it did not disappoint! We added wine flights and it made for a perfect evening! The wait staff were all so friendly and the ambience is perfection! Can’t wait to go back and try different options! Everything melted in my mouth!!!!

I love this restaurant so much! I've only been here a handful of times but the food is always consistently good and the service absolutely wonderful. The decor is simultaneously chic and cute which makes it great for a girl's night or a romantic date. I highly recommend the crab soufflé when it's in season, and the raspberry soufflé for dessert. The marshmallow soup is divine!
