The last time we were in this space, my kids and I were sitting at the soda fountain of the old HP Pharmacy. WOW!The ‘unreasonable hospitality’ of the talented Mr. Charles team in this beautiful new space made our evening truly magical! We were surprised and delighted with each course & interaction. Finally, a place that makes going out for a meal worth every penny! Now we have a tough decision to make between The Charles (our previous favorite) and Mr Charles…

My dad flew in from NY for a Thanksgiving visit and we decided on Thanksgiving dinner at The Mansion. The entire place was amazing and the ambiance was perfect. They had the Christmas decorations up and just the aesthetic of the place was gorgeous. The food was delicious. They offered a 3-course Thanksgiving meal and we went with that. The Turkey and sausage were cooked to perfection and the meal came with a few very delicious sides. The mac and cheese side was my favorite and the best I’ve ever tasted. Our server John was welcoming and very attentive. We will definitely go back for dinner again sometime. This restaurant was the best I’ve been to on a holiday in Dallas so far.
