Everything Duro Hospitality does is a hit, and The Charles is no exception! The service was impeccable, the drinks were top notch, and the food was delectable! We had a large party and showed up to the back bar an hour before for pre dinner drinks and they were so accommodating to take care of us and always kept us informed of the table. They treated the birthday guest to an amazing glass of champagne, and made the whole experience amazing. Charles was our server and he was great! Nate the Manager on duty as well as his whole staff was absolutely amazing. We will be back so many more times, and I am so happy that Duro has this gem in their repertoire!

il Bracco is my favorite restaurant in Dallas, but they completely exceeded my expectations this time - if that was even possible. I brought my sister and her boyfriend who are visiting from atlanta, and got engaged 24 hours prior, and the waitress brought them champagne to celebrate their engagement and olive oil ice cream for her birthday next week. The food was amazing as always, but the waitress went above and beyond to make them feel so so special, and they left raving about their entire experience. I already loved il Bracco, but the way they treated my sister and her boyfriend last night made me love them even more!!
