Rise n°2 Salon de Soufflé and Wine bar

I had a wonderful start to my Sunday as we tried this great restaurant offering the most quirky and delicious soufflés. This is the first environmentally conscious salon de soufflé that I’ve been to, utilizing renewable cork flooring, using drinking glasses made from recycled wine bottles.
 The “serviettes” or napkins are one-of-a-kind antique linen, made from pre-industry flax and hand-embroidered with family initials. All of the flatware is an eclectic mix of antique silver plate utensils from France.

This is the greeting I had as I sat on our reserved table. This is for the second anniversary of my blog. Aint that sweet?
This bread cutter is the bomb. It’s available for sale. Naturally, we bought one for home.
Marshmallow Soup! It is actually tomato bisque with goat cheese marshmallow and pesto sauce drizzle.
Soupe a L’Oignon Gratinée–onion soup.
D had Bordeaux vs. California Reds. A very interesting mix. The winner? Bordeaux (of course)
Truffle Infused Mushroom
As you get to the middle, the smell of truffle assaults your senses in the most amazing way.
I had the crabmeat soufflé
Look how dense it is, yet it is still light as air.
My dessert flight — Moscato (Piedmont), Suterne (2011), 20year old Tawny port, and and amazing Spanish dessert wine that I really have to read up on because it has become my favorite thing.
For dessert, Bananas Foster Souffle

As we paid the bill, we were already planning on what to get the next time we come here. That’s how good it was. Presentation was excellent, ingredients were topnotch and fresh, service was impeccable and execution was above par. Those are my 4 criteria for a good restaurant and Rise no 2 got it all.
