The Charles Dallas Reviews
So disappointed in this restaurant.
The service was decent, but way too fast to enjoy a leisurely dinner and food was very bland. We got the bluefin tuna carpaccio for appetizer...only thing you could taste was the japapeno. Very bland Ordered two main courses with a side....veal rag

I wouldn't give just 1 star because the service and hospitality were pretty good. They keep an eye on you, refill your drinks, and clear off the dirty plates. But the meat we had was honestly one of the worst I've ever had at a restaurant.

I have been all over the world an I had the best service I have ever had outside of the Middle East last night at The Charles! The entire wait staff was amazing but our server Tamara was the star of the show. The food was also amazing, but the hig

The Black Pepper Bucatini is one of the best dishes I've tasted all year! It's creamy and flavorful. I'll go back just for more. Everything else was okay. The oysters have an overwhelming amount of toppings, but they didn't have t
Another restaurant "week" review.
This was absolutely the best meal that I had all month- so good that I forgot to take pictures of most of it. As a welcome snack, we were give a little cup with manchego cheese, olives, and artichokes. It was a nice surprise and a nice way to start

A relative newcomer to the Dallas fine-dining scene, but it feels like it has been here for ages. Terrific all around, from the food to the service, as are most places owned by this hospitality company.
Let me start by saying.
.. FINALLY!! I have been wanting to try this place since it opened, and we finally did. My regret that we didn't go before now..ugh. The service was superb! The food was even better! Clay was our server in the speakeasy area. He was so welc

Visited The Charles during restaurant week so we did the $59 tasting menu. The service was great, our server was friendly and very attentive. To me, what makes a good restaurant stand out is the attention to detail. Having someone make sure we had cl
Very pretty restaurant on the inside.
Easy to pass on the outside if you're not paying attention. Service was spot on. They were very friendly, quick, and everyone seemed to help each other out. Before we even ordered, had a free snack brought to the table of a pepper and cheese.
Disappointing date night
Major disappointment, to say the least. The evening started off good, we were sat down and our waiter Rome came and introduced himself. He was very welcoming and told us he would be back to talk about the menu and tell us about great special th
Well worth the price!
It was about as close to a perfect visit that I've ever had. The food is pricey but well worth the cost. The pasta dish I had and the branzino dish my had were exceptional. The caesar salad was big enough to share and one of the best I've t
A MUST in the Dallas area
I have been to The Charles a few times and I am shocked that it’s not a Michelin star restaurant! The staff, the management, even the Valet staff will treat you like a close friend. The service at The Charles is second to none in the DFW metropl
Top quality food, service, and drink at excellent prize-value ratios
Top quality at every turn! We were told we'd need to wait five minutes for our table (we had a reservation) and after about 5 minutes someone came over and apologized for the wait and led us straight to a beautiful booth. Our waiter--coincidenta
Hidden gem.
The Charles is a hidden gem that blends modern Italian cuisine with a lively, eclectic vibe. From the moment you walk in, you’re struck by the bold, stylish décor that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu is inventive, offeri
Good, not great, poor value.
Pros and cons, but given the hype and the cost, a disappointment. Our table was not ready on arrival so they escorted our party of four to the back room to awkwardly stand among those with tables. We were seated about fifteen minutes later. The se

Amazing food! Great service! The venue was beautiful! I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend it to everyone
Enjoyable
First of all this is a very different, very eclectic take on Italian cuisine. There is some pasta with shrimp (very good) and fig/burrata salad (good) with a chicken dish (fairly smoky) and very good okra (hardly Italian). It is a “shared plate”

My wife and I went for our anniversary.
I called to make the reservation and spoke with Bridgette who took down our information and asked about our wedding (COVID WEDDING) When we walked in we were greeted and sat immediately. The service and intentionality of the staff here is unmatched
I have no words.
We have dined here before and thought it was life changing, but the meal we had this time just blew everything out of the water. The service is impeccable. Our group of 10 had everything we needed. The waitresses offered to design a meal for us, and
I had a wonderful time here.
The ambiance and staff involvement is very unique. Reminded me of the Copa Cabana scene in Goodfellas. The lobster with spicy squid ink pasta was awesome. The veal ragu was an interesting twist and very creative.
EVERYTHING YOU HEARD!
If you’ve heard of, or been referred to The Charles and comments include, beautiful, amazing service or exquisite cusine; They’re all true! Hands down, one of the best dining experiences I’ve enjoyed in Dallas, and I’ve enjoyed many amazing

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food.
They have an excellent selection of liquor and wine. And you should definitely check out the speakeasy in the back.

Charles made my birthday dinner unforgettable.
...in a wrong way. We were taken to a back room which is just an ordinary room with loud music. Entrees were served with sides that didn't quite match the menu description. My plain, grilled branzino was covered with arugula; no artichoke hearts

I hate to say it, but these days, I'm almost a restaurant Luddite, at least when it comes to joints in Dallas. Other than the places I frequent, I generally have no clue as to what's hot and what's not. So when some friends suggested The Charles, r

This is absolutely my new fave go to place when traveling in Dallas. And that's big praise because the Big D has plenty of great restaurants. I'm not saying they've reached that NY/Chicago/LA/SF tier yet, but they're gaining and not too far behind! B

I totally understand the hype now! Went here for my husband's birthday. Before we even got to the restaurant they sent me a text to ask the birthday guests' name which was very thoughtful. Our waiter Max was super friendly and helpful with explaini
Great, romantic place
This restaurant was extremely accommodating when we were seated next to the front door. It was our anniversary so it wasn't an optimum location. The food was great. We ordered octopus, meatballs, a pasta dish or two and dessert. You can't go wrong wi

Amazing experience
The food and service were amazing. The waiter took the time to explain the menu and offered some of his favorites. The staff were all attentive and thoughtful. Our waters never got below half full, they were clearing plates to bring fresh ones betwee
Amazing Experience!
I cannot say enough good things about The Charles. We celebrated our 10th anniversary at The Charles. My wife and I had such a great time! Once the staff found out that we were celebrating a special occasion, they made us feel so special including ch

Overall - 7/10The decor was a little weird to me personally, but that's personal taste, I just tend to like more minimalistic vibe. A little dark, restroom kept nice and tidy. Gave hand towels instead of paper towels, so fancy.Service was excellent,
Dined here last week and had a decent experience.
Food was tasty, drinks were ok. Had the oysters, short rib, halibut, and beet salad - all of which were pretty good. Where things went south was the dining area by the bar where we were seated. There was absolutely no space between my chair and

While I still enjoy the food, the sommelier completely ripped us off. We told her that we preferred not to spend over $150/bottle on an Italian wine and she stated she had a wine off the list for $149 (what a coincidence). Upon delivering, we pointed

I was really looking forward to trying this place based on the reviews and sadly left disappointed. The inside was decorated nicely. They sat us in their speakeasy section in the back but honestly wish they hadn't since it was super loud that I could

Excellent date night place or business dinner.
Cocktails were fantastic and they had an extensive wine selection. I recommend ordering several apps to share. Our group of six shared three meals and there was more than enough. Still had to have some chocolate cake to finish off though. Highl
Excellent food! I love eating here.
Would give 5 stars except they have a dish that needs more explanation. It's a chicken dish that is spicy "on fire"hot! I recommend this place and forget to warn friends about the chicken dish. Someone always orders it and literally can't e

Connect with users posting reservations for The Charles Dallas
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Charles Dallas. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Charles Dallas at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Charles Dallas page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at The Charles Dallas to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Charles Dallas!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
