    This was my first visit, and I was genuinely pleased. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the food was delicious, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and professional. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable, and I appreciated that the manager checked in just the right amount, present without being intrusive. A great overall experience!

    I went there with an optimistic mindset because I was unable to get in touch with the venue. The phone number had a voice mailbox that was full and the company name was even different. I was thinking they may try to charge me for guests that didn’t show up for the reservation, but that wasn’t the case. The food was great actually, and because we went on a Wednesday, we got the best prices on food and drinks. I will go back.

    I had dinner at The Charlotte last night and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt special—elegant yet welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious across the board, but what really made the night unforgettable was the birthday cake. Not only did it taste incredible, but it felt like a genuinely thoughtful touch. It was a perfect place to celebrate a special night, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Dallas has a lot of great restaurants, but The Charlotte just jumped to the top of my list.
