    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.

    This time we went on Thanksgiving. They had a special 3-course menu, but it was so worth it. I started with the roasted pumpkin soup. I did send it back because it was not hot enough for me. Our server was wonderful and he said they'd make a new batch. When it came out, I could immediately tell it was the right temp. So good. It was delicious. Then our prime rib - yum! Nice and rare with au jus and horseradish sauce (that I could have eaten by itself). The broccolini and seasoned mashed potatoes were perfect sides for the steak. For dessert we ordered both - apple crumble and pumpkin cheesecake. We took these home and enjoyed both later that day. Both were scrumptious and flavorful. Our server was friendly and professional, check on us several times during the meal. We loved it. This wasn't our first time at Mercury Chophouse and it won't be our last.
