"The Charles impresses diners with its modern, Italian-influenced seasonal dishes such as wood-fired oysters, sweet corn angolotti, and grilled beets. The pasta program is a highlight, with freshly made fare and new dishes dreamed up by the kitchen regularly — and showcased on the specials list. This was the first of Duro Hospitality’s restaurants in Dallas and it remains one of the city’s best." - Courtney E. Smith
