    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!

    Cocktails and burrata salad were very good. The kitchen was very slow, and it took an hour before our entrees arrived.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our experience at The Charles was nothing short of exceptional! Jonathan greeted us at Bar Charles, setting the tone with perfectly crafted cocktails and a welcoming atmosphere. From there, we were escorted to the main restaurant, where Chris took outstanding care of us at Table 12 (hands down, the best seat in the house!). The team truly impressed us—Rome, another fantastic server, and Nathan, the manager, stopped by to ensure everything was perfect. The food? Absolutely divine. The pasta was heavenly, the branzino fish perfectly cooked, the polenta creamy and flavorful, and the profiteroles were the ideal sweet finish. This was a 10/10 dining experience, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend The Charles for anyone looking for an unforgettable evening!
