  • Hot spot
A collaboration between Chas Martin, Chef J Chastain, Benji Homsey, and Ross and Corbin See of Sees Design, The Charles is a nightly eatery where Italian design and cuisine are interpreted through a Texas lens.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Duro Culinary Team

From the OpenTable editors: This Tex-Italian stunner was the original restaurant within the Duro Hospitality group, with sibling spots Mister Charles and El Carlos Elegante going on to make it into the MICHELIN Guide. But first, The Charles set the tone with leopard-spotted banquettes, zebra-striped chairs, golden bauble light fixtures, and other epic design details. Many come here for special occasions, to feast on pillowy lemon ricotta gnudi and octopus charred on the woodfire grill. If the evening calls for a glass of Champagne, start next door at the equally swanky Bar Charles before dinner at The Charles.

    We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and let me just say it as a great experience. From the time we parked valet was very nice. The hosts were nice and friendly. Our waitress was so helpful with recommendations as it was our first time there. And everyone came over at some point in the night to tell him happy birthday. Food was 10/10 and our drinks were sooooo good. I highly recommend.

    The best experience ever!! Me & my girlfriends came for my birthday dinner & I truly felt like a celebrity. Rome was our server & he had all of our names memorized & was so tentative. All of the staff & management made us feel like queens! Plus the food is UNREAL!

    This was my first time at The Charles. From the minute we walked in, it was fabulous. We got the best seat in the house and the service was impeccable. The waiter was able make some of the dishes vegetarian for me. After dinner, they escorted back to the speakeasy and they brought our dessert there. It was a great night. I will definitely be going back.
