    I was a huge fan of the Mr. Charles so I was excited to try out the original Charles restaurant. The food was excellent! Everything was presented exquisitely and the flavor combinations were delicious! I would absolutely come back here for the food and the service was very attentive. My only thing is the acoustics are loud and I wish the music had been turned down just a little bit as it forced everyone to speak over it making it difficult to hear other people at my table.

    We had a wonderful time start to finish! From the moment we pulled in to valet, you could tell that service was their priority. Winter and Rome were fantastic and so helpful, couldn’t have asked for better! The food was top tier, especially the pasta. I am gluten free and being able to order pasta that is house-made and INCREDIBLY delicious was a highlight for me. Not to mention, every item I ordered came out as a gluten free option without me ever having to ask. Spectacular experience and will definitely go again!

    The food is outstanding and never disappoints. It was a little crowded sitting at a table by the bar, and noise made it hard to hear people at our table and our waiter. Service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

    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!
