    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!

    Our waitress was a bar tender and while she would sometimes take a while to make her way back over to us, the service was incredible. I didn’t catch her name, but she recommended us some fantastic wine. The spaghetti alla carbonara is what me and my partner both ordered and it came out very quickly and was prepared wonderfully. Will 100% be returning in the near future.

    I was celebrating my son’s birthday-who is 52 years old. It was a wonderful celebration between a mother and her son. We had a very special time remembering his life and successes . Our server was very attentive and courteous and just really made our experience wonderful. The food was great and we definitely will come again. Thank you!
