"Mister Charles in East Dallas swings big, and that includes the dining room with two-story-high ceilings and a bar that spans nearly the entire restaurant. The food takes French and Italian classics and puts a luxurious spin on them—a whole dover sole comes swimming in a lobster beurre blanc, buttery and light as a cloud, or fusilli that shows up covered in fontina and glittering with caviar. The desserts tend to arrive on fire, like a dome of meringue hiding baked alaska with banana, which is an appropriate spectacle to end a meal at a fine dining spot that knows how to have fun." - nick rallo

"What kind of mind combines baked Alaska and banana pudding? One that knows what’s delicious. There’s nothing quite as fun as having dessert set on fire in a fancy restaurant, and the team at Mister Charles seems to be well aware of that. The Banana Semifreddo Baked Alaska has an unlikely origin story: One of the owners, Chas Martin, wanted banana pudding, in honor of his sister, who he says makes a mean one, while the culinary team wanted Baked Alaska. Et voila, a double dessert — and this one is big enough to share. If you’ve seen the sprinkler candles on desserts flying around Dallas restaurants, this takes that idea and one-ups it, big time. It’s worth mentioning, too, that you’ll be eating it in one of the most beautifully designed restaurants in Dallas. Plan to share, since it’s a big portion." - Courtney E. Smith
"One of the city’s most beautiful restaurants is not a bad place to tie the knot. The space, designed by Sees Design, opens into a mix of Parisian bistro design (so much brass) accented with Venetian decor (so much crystal) and patterns that shouldn’t work together but do. There’s a small private dining room upstairs, and to the left of the entrance is the “dark side” — a second dining room with a completely different design. It is perhaps better suited to a reception than a wedding ceremony. The kitchen serves pasta like truffle carpinocchi, short rib dumplings, and fusilli and caviar, along with a top-notch (and costly) menu of steaks. This place may be a match for the couple heading to the courthouse with a few friends for the ceremony who want to blow out their budget on the reception." - Courtney E. Smith
"This spot from Duro Hospitality has the impeccable design elements of all its restaurants, plus a menu of classic American fare served on fine china. Head in for whole Dover sole served table side, excellent cuts of steak that start at around $100, or uni shells carbonara. (It is also possible to cobble together an entire meal from the shared plates on the menu at a lower price-point.) The restaurant is divided into two breathtakingly decorated sides, light and dark, so it is possible to have an entirely different experience on your second trip." - Courtney E. Smith
