At The Charles, a glitzy Design District spot, indulge in wood-fired Italian classics alongside creative cocktails amidst an ambiance that perfectly balances vibrant and intimate.
"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
"Beatrice and Zen Sushi, which Carpenter also owns, are on the list, along with Tiffany Derry’s Roots Southern Table, Rye, Crown Block, and Duro Hospitality’s full collection of restaurants, including Mister Charles, Sister, the Charles, and El Carlos Elegante." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Charles impresses diners with its modern, Italian-influenced seasonal dishes such as a pink snapper crudo in coconut-lime vinaigrette, lemon ricotta gnudi, and a wagyu bavette with roasted potatoes." - Courtney E. Smith
"Sure, the opening of Mister Charles (before that by El Carlos Elegante, which was proceeded by Sister — all excellent restaurants) from Duro Hospitality inspired this list. And it made us think, when was the last time we were at The Charles? It’s still the home base for developing a load of the dishes that hit the menu at other concepts and the home of weekly specials that the kitchen is workshopping. It’s the OG and working toward becoming a classic in the landscape of Italian food in Dallas." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Charles is part of Duro Hospitality’s portfolio, offering a high-end dining experience in Dallas with a focus on luxury and exclusivity." - Courtney E. Smith
