   We had the most incredible experience at The Charles! From valet to paying the check, each and every service member we had the pleasure of interacting with was SO polite and attentive! Every detail was perfect. And the menu was beyond. Will definitely be back soon

   The restaurant is great, we wish the menu was a bit more expansive. The staff was great but it felt that they were a bit too attentive, we felt a bit rushed. Multiple staff members came by multiple times to try and collect plates while members of our part were in the restroom. Also, the ambiance is cool, but it is a bit too dark honestly.

   Salvador, Thank you for joining us for Blanca's birthday. We appreciate all feedback, and we take every note seriously and use any opportunity to improve. We understand that our style of menu is a bit different than your typical restaurants. Our menu is designed for you to try a little bit of everything, and it is not portions that typical "Family style" restaurants present. Our dishes range from small to medium sizes for appetizer styles and pastas, but our entrees are 9-12oz besides out Long bone tomahawk. I love that our team was attentive but looks like they were a bit too much. We have reached out to you personally, and we hope we can remedy the situation to welcome you back. We have noted that you would prefer Main Dining room as well. Best, The Charles Management Team

   Really great experience. It was our first time that going, and we went to the back for drinks in the private bar. Our waitress did a great job of guiding our food journey for the evening, and we shared a bunch of plates that were really tasty and complemented our drinks. We had the Kingfish Crudo, which was impaired well with the lemon ricotta gnudi. The pasta was fresh and had herbs incorporated into it. The winter berry drink was the best. We understand why this is a Dallas staple.

   Our group of six came here after the opera. The food was amazing. The service was as amazing. We sat in the back room which was new for us. It was the perfect late night dinner at what that night—last night—was a perfect restaurant.

   The service was excellent! Our cocktails were exceptional- very well balanced. Our steak tartar entree was divine. But the 2 pasta entrees we had were not good. One tasted exactly like a can of spaghetti Os and the one with wagu beef was utterly tasteless. It literally had no taste. I asked for salt and pepper just to taste something.

   Dennis! Thank you so much for the feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our cocktails and beef tartare was one of the best you had! We're sorry to hear that our pasta entrees didn't meet your expectations and looks like we missed the mark. We take all feedback seriously and will certainly pass your comments onto our culinary team for review. We appreciate your patience and hope that you'll give us another chance to impress you with our food in the future. I have personally reached out to you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon, and we thank you again for your praise of service and cocktails and the 5 stars! Best, The Charles Management Team
