    Fantastic experience overall. Food was exquisite, thoughtful and well composed. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better meal. Drink selection didn’t feel as up to par as the food menu. Basic options. Bathroom is up an entire flight of winding stairs which is fine, but be cautious in heels. They were out of toilet paper, so that felt overlooked. Bar with live music ramped up toward the end of our dinner but wasn’t overly loud and soundly lively as we were exiting.

    Once again, we were absolutely blown away with everything! The tasting menu was absolutely to die for. My boyfriend and I are so happy we did it! Plus the surprise dishes along the way were such an incredible touch to the experience. Thank you Alika, management partners, and team for making this an unforgettable Valentine’s Day experience. This is why Mister Charles is our favorite restaurant in Dallas! We will be back SOON ☺️

    My wife and I went for Valentines. It was the first time to the restaurant. Beautiful views, food was great! The only negative was that the tables were too close, but it was Valentines Day. Beer prices were lower than we expected for a wonderful place. We will definitely return

    My girlfriend and I spent the early afternoon of Valentines day  at the Charlotte. We started off with the crab fingers (Cajun style) and a couple of cocktails. I cannot stress this enough, if you try the crab fingers, you will not be disappointed.  For our entrées we had the crispy duck and spicy vodka pasta, both of which were magnificent. Overall the experience was incredible. Our server was pleasant, and we will definitely be returning.
