Our first day in Dallas, here for the eclipse (of which the weather is doubtful, but at least we have a couple of days out of town without the kids (doggies)). We got in about 2am local time, pretty much as expected. Had an excellent Mexican dinner in Hobbs, a real jumping place. We were planning on hitting Target to get Russet a swim suit and chocolate, then on to Trader Joe's for plunder. For whatever reason I zoomed out on TJ's, seeing what restaurants are in the area.
And I found one. A French restaurant called Rise Souffle.
It was 4.4 stars with 1900 reviews on Yelp. And it is well worth it.
We had a salmon souffle and a Salad Niçoise, and both were tres magnifique. The salad had seared Ahi tuna, fantastic. The souffle had salmon with every bite. I definitely seared my tongue a bit by not letting it cool a bit after I pierced the top.
We also had what they called a Marshmallow Soup: a carrot/tomato soup topped with what I think were ricotta or similar cheese fluffy pillows shaped like marshmallows with a pesto drizzle. VERY yummy. I wanted the chocolate dessert, Russet did not. We might return tomorrow night just for that.
Iced tea was chardonay/passion fruit, IIRC, and quite lovely.
The souffles take 25 minutes to prepare. It is a very nice slow dining experience. And it is charged as such. For the two of us, with tip, plus an extra $15 for the kitchen, it was about $115. I don't mind an occasional splurge, it was well worth it, and very satisfying.
Reservations are recommended. I called ahead and told it would be about a 45 minute wait list. Gave them my name and phone to get on the list, took us about half an hour to get there, and we were seated immediately! We were given a bread board that had a bread knife/guillotine cutter that was pretty cool! And we were seated outside, couldn't have asked for nicer weather or better service.
Definitely recommended. This place rocks. They have three locations in the greater Dallas area.
The Trader Joes is in the same shopping center, five minute walk away. They also got a goodly amount of cash, needless to say.
