The Charles never disappoints! They always take incredible care of us, and last night was no exception. Our waiter (I wish I could remember his name!) was hands down the best server I’ve ever had in Dallas—so attentive, charming, and genuinely delightful. He made our experience unforgettable. As for the food, it’s perfection every time. The spicy shrimp pasta has to be my favorite dish in Dallas—bold flavors, perfectly cooked, and just the right amount of heat. I could eat it every day! The Charles has mastered the art of creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere while delivering top-notch service and food. We’ll be back again and again!

MoMo continues to be such a neighborhood treasure. Owners that care and greet their guests, seasonal specials that complement their proven go-to dishes, a smart wine and beer list that pair so very well with the cuisine. I always enjoy visiting a locally owned restaurant where it is obvious that details matter. Michael

Our waitress was a bar tender and while she would sometimes take a while to make her way back over to us, the service was incredible. I didn’t catch her name, but she recommended us some fantastic wine. The spaghetti alla carbonara is what me and my partner both ordered and it came out very quickly and was prepared wonderfully. Will 100% be returning in the near future.
