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.

    We went to The Charles for the first time tonight & could not have been more impressed! The food was excellent, but the shining star was the amazing service provided by every staff member. We had the pleasure of having Charles as our waiter, and he was fantastic. Can’t wait to go again!

    What an amazing night out. Loved every part of the experience. The service was 5 star all the way. The server suggested we order as a tasting menu which was spot on. We selected items between out party of 3. Squash Blossom and Pasta were the best. The beets not so much. the cuts were too thick and not cooked enough. Drink options we equally top notch
