We visited Mister Charles for a birthday celebration (party of 4) and found the experience a mixed bag.
Ambiance: The dining area was far too dark, even with two small table lights. The music volume fluctuated between songs, sometimes jarringly loud, and the eclectic mix of styles and tempos didn’t create a cohesive vibe for dining versus a ‘bar’ experience.
Service: While polite, the service felt distant and unengaged. We noticed several staff members standing near the kitchen, idle and preoccupied with their phones. Surprisingly, no one checked in to see if we were enjoying the food or if it was prepared to our liking.
Food: The Ossetra Caviar and Egg Salad on Toasted Brioche was a standout, as were the Corn and Truffle Beignets. The Little Gem Caesar was good, though trimming more of the stalk would elevate it. However, the Whole Dover Sole with Lobster Beurre Blanc was a major disappointment. At $105, the fish was overcooked and dry, with scant lobster in the beurre blanc. The presentation was lacking — fillets (browned on both sides) were hastily scooped out of the pan with a spoon rather than properly deboned tableside.
Other mains were a mix of highs and lows:
The Texas Wagyu Short Rib Wellington, while flavorful, was difficult to cut even with a Laguiole steak knife.
The 8oz. Painted Hills Filet Mignon was well-cooked and delicious.
The Fusilli and Caviar pasta was enjoyable but not outstanding.
The Passionfruit Entremet dessert was lovely, but the cocktails were unremarkable. One advertised specialty cocktail was unavailable because the bar lacked lime sherbet—a detail that could have been easily resolved with a quick walk around the corner to Trader Joe’s.
Overall: While there were moments of distinction in the food, the experience didn’t live up to the Michelin-starred hype or the high price point. For a special occasion, there are many other dining options in Dallas that offer a more memorable experience.
