Celebrate Father's Day at Rise Woodfire, Friday-Sunday.

📍2 N. B St.

🔥🥩 Father’s Day at Rise — available Friday through Sunday, June 19–21.

This year’s Father’s Day feature is built around bold wood-fired flavor and steakhouse comfort made for dads with serious appetites.

🥩 Bacon-Wrapped Filet
A tender 7oz filet mignon seasoned with salt & pepper, wrapped in crispy bacon, and grilled over our wood-fired grill. Served with creamy mashed potatoes, wood-fired asparagus, and warm jalapeño cheddar cornbread. 🔥

Pair it with our Father’s Day cocktail special — the Black Barrel Brew 🥃 made with Bulleit bourbon, coffee liqueur, amaro, and orange bitters for bold coffee, citrus, and oak flavors with a smooth bitter finish.

And to top it all off? 🍰
Our Celebration Cake of Rise Woodfire for the perfect sweet finish.

The kind of meal Dad would order for himself.
