About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Hot spot
A collaboration between Chas Martin, Chef J Chastain, Benji Homsey, and Ross and Corbin See of Sees Design, The Charles is a nightly eatery where Italian design and cuisine are interpreted through a Texas lens.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Duro Culinary Team

From the OpenTable editors: This Tex-Italian stunner was the original restaurant within the Duro Hospitality group, with sibling spots Mister Charles and El Carlos Elegante going on to make it into the MICHELIN Guide. But first, The Charles set the tone with leopard-spotted banquettes, zebra-striped chairs, golden bauble light fixtures, and other epic design details. Many come here for special occasions, to feast on pillowy lemon ricotta gnudi and octopus charred on the woodfire grill. If the evening calls for a glass of Champagne, start next door at the equally swanky Bar Charles before dinner at The Charles.

    Primera vez que estuvimos en The Charles, mi prometida y yo lo disfrutamos bastante. Increíble atención de Jonathan, fue grandioso en guiarnos durante toda la cena, incluso nos presentó al Chef Juan. Nos llevó a conocer la cocina. Mi favorito en Dallas.

    The only thing that tops the food is the experience and attention to detail. The highest level of service in Dallas. Everything is not just well-orchestrated but also perfectly executed. Every single team member, from the front to the back, is clearly bought into the vision of providing the best. Cheers!

    We had a fantastic experience with Rome as our head waiter for the evening. The service was attentive and intentional, while leaving room for us to enjoy the atmosphere and carry a spirited conversation. The Charles is one of my favorite restaurants and the service was exceptional today. We will definitely be back!
