"A specialty of Chef Chuy, the crudos here are among the city's best — an off-menu kingfish preparation with black squid ink and garlic delivers bold, addictive bites accented by bright orange citrus, so shareable plates often end up eaten solo. Staff frequently suggest nightly off-menu crudos that tend to be the strangest and most creative options; pro tip: sit at the bar in spring and pair a crudo with a spritz." - Courtney E. Smith
"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
"During the Texas Michelin Guide launch the Dallas restaurant was misnamed in the guide (listed as “Mister Charles”), an error Michelin attributed to geolocation. As the guide explained: “This was a technical error caused by our geolocation process. The problem has been corrected in the most expeditious manner.”" - Brittany Britto Garley
"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
