Rise is a lovely little restaurant, tucked away in a plaza off of Lover's Lane and Inwood. French bistro focusing on souffles. We started with a selection from the Pour commencer section of the menu and ordered Marshmellow Soup (9). A lovely tomato basil soup, with puffy balls of white cheese on top, broiled to make them look like toasty marshmellows. Pesto and a little basil oil are dribbled on top for a great finish. It was wonderful.
For the main course we ordered two savory souffles and shared: Sun-dried tomato & Pesto Chevre (14) and Crabmeat & Boursin (20). They had two totally different tastes, and complimented each other.
For desert, we shared two items off of the Sweet Souffles section: Chocolate (10) and Grand Marnier (12). The souffles arrived and the waiter pierced a hole in the top and poured wonderful warm chocolate sauce in one and a white Grand Marnier on the other. Soooo good. Topped it all of with a nice French press coffee.
Marvelous meal and very good service. There were many French items for sale throughout the store. The waitress said that about 95% of what you see if for sale; if you like it you can buy it! We met the owner and she said that they are opening additional restaurants throughout the country. Try one if it opens in your area.
