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.

    Had a lovely evening started off with grilled oysters, dined on salmon, octopus & okra. All delicious. Our server, Charles, was outstanding, definitely recommend a little pricey but overall great!

    I request Rome as our waiter every time. He is so kind and knowledgeable of the full menu. The fried squash with crab and ricotta cheese new menu item was incredible. My favorite spot in Dallas and so glad I could share this experience with my mom visiting

    This was our first time here and they pulled out the red carpet for us from the very beginning! The food was amazing in every single course, we ended up ordering family style and splitting 7-8 dishes! There were still so many things we didn't get to try that we will be back for.
