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.

    James was our waiter and was simply the best. Knowledgeable about the menu items and provided fantastic recommendations. If you get to eat one meal in Dallas, go to The Charles and ask for James.

    My server Jonathan was everything he was humorous and professional he catered to us.He served us in such a manner until we didn’t even know what we wanted until he brought it. There is a great appreciation for waiters that love serving .They care about and appreciate the customer . They appreciate the experience and Jonathan embodies all of that. Jonathan even took birthday photos as if he was apart of our family. Jonathan even walk us out.I flew in from Atlanta, Georgia to celebrate my birthday at this particular restaurant and it was worth every penny as a party of eight(6) I will be back. Thanks again.

    The Charles is amazing! It was the best restaurant experience I have had in Dallas this year. The service was magnificent. The food was amazing! I didn’t have a bad drink or appetizer/entree/dessert while I was here. Jonathan was a wonderful server and he took care of everything. I would definitely tell anyone to come to this restaurant and I will be back!

    Primera vez que estuvimos en The Charles, mi prometida y yo lo disfrutamos bastante. Increíble atención de Jonathan, fue grandioso en guiarnos durante toda la cena, incluso nos presentó al Chef Juan. Nos llevó a conocer la cocina. Mi favorito en Dallas.
