"Upon entering Mister Charles, the space immediately feels grand and swanky—large teardrop chandeliers, soft pastel tones, and crisp linen tablecloths set the scene. There appear to be two distinct dining areas, with the second being more intimate and moody. We didn’t have a reservation, but were able to snag seats at the small bar tucked inside the smaller dining room. With only four seats, it felt almost like having our own personal bartender. We let the bartender choose our drinks, asking for something sweet and cute, and he absolutely nailed it. We started with canapés—literally one bite each, but just enough to set the tone for the meal. The corn and truffle beignets were very filling, though a touch heavy on the crème fraîche base. The Spanish octopus was the standout of the night—so tender I don’t even remember chewing. The crab cake was fresh with great flavor, but we paced ourselves to save room for dessert. The chocolate cake was incredibly creamy and decadent. This place is a whole vibe. I forget the bartender’s name but he took really good care of us. I’ll definitely be back."

"Moved to Dallas & scouted out all the Michelin recommended restaurants. Friends suggested Mister Charles. It's date night, we absolutely starving and ended up ordering a feast, and every single dish was worth it. We started with nearly all of the canapés (no chicken nuggets, haha). The Chilled Oysters with Strawberry Ponzu and Finger Lime were bright and refreshing, the Grilled Cheese with Truffled Cheddar and Prosciutto was decadent, the Ossetra Caviar & Egg Salad on Brioche felt luxurious, the Lobster Roll canapé was deliciously buttery, and the A5 Striploin on Brioche with Wasabi was melt-in-your-mouth good. Honestly, the canapés alone make this place worth visiting! For entrées, we shared the Beef Wellington, Whole Red Snapper Milanese, Tzatziki & Carrot Salad, and the lobster/uni pasta (can’t remember the exact name, but it was incredible). Everything was beautifully seasoned, cooked perfectly, and plated with so much intention. Dessert was the Banana Semifreddo Baked Alaska, which was the perfect finish, creamy, light, and super unique. For drinks, the Highland Park Pharmacy Penicillin and Crime of Passion were both fantastic, balanced cocktails. Service was great, the atmosphere felt upscale but fun, and the whole experience genuinely lived up to the hype. Can’t wait to come back and try more!"

"Great decor, good service, but I was a little let down given the Michelin recognition. My party of 5 decided to go meat heavy, so I missed in trying different and varied dishes, so I will definitely like to go back and try different things (pasta with hazelnuts, I was looking at you!). We had the Beignets (somewhat salty) and Octopus (probably the highlight for me) for appetizers. For entrees, we ordered the Wellington, Rib Eye and Filet, and they were good, don't get me wrong, but dishes were missing some character and a touch of seasoning. The wine list was amazing, but of course, somewhat overpriced. The place is loud, difficult to hold a conversation, which was not a good thing, given the category of the place."

"Oh man, what a wonderful experience this was. This restaurant is truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, from the service to the food was absolutely a 10/10 experience. My girlfriend and I made a reservation here for her birthday and it was quite a bumpy ride to get there. We initially had our reservation at 530pm but due to a DFW flight cancellation and delay, we had to keep pushing back our reservation. I pushed our reservation back to about 945pm initially, but we didn’t even get off of the plane until 9pm. I called in to see what the staff thought I should do and ended up speaking with Meg on the phone. Not only was she graceful, they made me feel totally fine about being late to our reservation and even pushed it back again for me till 1030 pm (even though they close at 11). It was a huge relief to me as it was already a chaotic and stressful travel day. We made it right at 1033pm and were immediately greeted by Peter, who happened to be from the same area we were traveling from in California and I immediately knew we were at an excellent restaurant. He was so nice and the building was absolutely stunning, the atmosphere was incredible . After that, we were sat at our table and greeted by our server Adrian who clearly knew the menu inside and out. He made excellent drink and food recommendations and my girlfriend said it was the best martini she’s ever had. I ended up going with the beef Wellington, which was perfect, and my girlfriend ended up getting the halibut. Both were 10/10 and I nearly licked the plate. Also, they give you the entire Wellington, not just a slice, which I thought was excellent. They gave us a few extra appetizers and desserts for my girlfriend’s birthday and due to the day we had, we left incredibly happy. Just this one stop was worth flying all the way to Dallas for. This was a truly special experience and I highly recommend coming here, even if it’s just to sit at the bar and enjoy some drinks. Thanks for the wonderful experience!"

"We celebrated my wife’s birthday at Mister Charles last night and it was perfect. The service was incredible from start to finish, and everyone made us feel taken care of. We asked about a tasting menu and even though they don’t normally have one, Chef Brendan Frankel put one together just for us with wine pairings, and every dish was spot on. He even came out a couple of times to check in, which meant a lot. The food, the wine, the vibe, all of it came together and made for an amazing night. Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday dinner for my wife. Big thanks to the whole team for making it such a special experience."
