I waited to try The Charlotte because Dallas restaurants come and go but GIRL...WORTH THE HYPE! Everything I had was a 10/10...the food was so seasoned and so good! The service was great and everything came out super fast surprisingly. I did make a reservation and got in quick. The vibe is really cute for happy hour, girls night or date night. I went for happy hour and it was great, I will be back! The best thing was the cornbread croutons!!! I know whoever thought about that was a genius read more

Obsessed with this place! Everything from the service, ambiance and food is amazing. The calamari is fried to perfection, Caesar salad is filling and fresh, the spicy lamb chops and vodka pasta actually has spice, and the Cajun truffle is well seasoned. The crab fingers were soft and buttery! I always look forward to dining at the charlotte, anything from their menu is extremely yummy. read more

We made reservations just in case and would recommend. Didn't take long to be seated and service was great. The bears are a cute touch and good for photo opps. Now for the food which I unfortunately don't have pictures of...I know. Cajun truffle mafaldine with crispy catfish 8/10: nice flavor and next time I'll ask for the fish to be cooked crispier. Or maybe just do the spaghetti and catfish. Shrimp and grits 9/10: nice flavor and shrimp cooker perfect. Frose 9/10: great balance of flavor and decent portion size for a drink. read more

I've been here twice and have only sat at the bar but both times our bartender was quick, gave good recommendations and was fun to be around. Cute decorations around the holidays, would come back to try more food. read more

The Charlotte American Bistro - CRAB FINGERS CALAMARI PORNSTAR MARTINI - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

4.1 of 5. The ambience is undeniably appealing. We sat upstairs at the bar, which has a stylish, relaxed vibe and sets a nice tone for the experience. Unfortunately, while the space was inviting, the service didn't quite match the setting. Our bartender, though pleasant, wasn't very attentive--we had to ask for drink refills and follow up more than once, which took away from the overall experience. The food arrived reasonably fast , which was appreciated. We ordered steak and eggs, the short rib, and milk & cookies. Overall, the seasoning across the dishes was well done. However, execution was inconsistent. I ordered my steak medium, but it seized up and was extremely tight and tough--very unexpected and disappointing. I also requested soft-scrambled eggs, but they came out fully scrambled. I asked for a refire, yet the second attempt was essentially identical to the first . The potatoes were tasty, but the portion was quite small. My wife's short rib was the standout--well seasoned, tender, and flavorful. That said, it was served with only one stalk of broccolini and a very small portion of grits, which felt skimpy. Dessert was enjoyable--the cookies and milk tasted good--but it was surprising that the cookies weren't warm. A few more cookies would have gone a long way toward making the dish feel complete and better suited for dunking. One positive note worth mentioning: the bathroom was clean, modern, and well stocked , which reflects attention to certain details. Take home message: If you enjoy trendy spots with a nice atmosphere, you'll likely be happy here. However, portion size matters--especially for low-cost sides like grits, broccolini, and potatoes--and those details are what could really elevate this establishment to the next level. As it stands, you may find yourself hungry again within an hour. read more

Everything was excellent! We were properly seated when arrived (we had reservations). I would suggest requesting the top level which is where we dined as the vibe was very classy! The food.....OMG, was seasoned to perfection from the wings to the Alfredo pasta!! Lastly, our amazing server Jordan was very attentive. She made us feel at home and was even gracious enough to take our picture as a memory when we requested it! read more

The Charlotte American Bistro - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We had a fun girl's night out at Charlotte's in Dallas, and it turned out to be the perfect spot! The whole place had a celebratory vibe -- lots of birthdays and bachelorettes at nearby tables, which added to the energy. I ordered the crab cake and the turkey club. For $22, I was expecting the crab cake to be a bit larger, but the flavor and crispness were excellent. And that sauce was a total show-stealer. The turkey club was good, and the fries were perfectly salted. For drinks, I had the Lady Lavender and loved it so much I ordered a second! The only downside was the service; our server seemed new and overwhelmed by the number of large tables. She mixed up several of our food and drink orders (even though most of us ordered pretty straightforward items), and it took over 30 minutes to get our checks after asking. It felt like she needed backup. That said, the food, drinks, and overall atmosphere were great, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

Came in randomly, and the place was superrr packed! This was expected though because it's been blowing up all over social media. There's a lot of places to sit.. so lucky we found seating at the bar! We literally had so much fun and tried most of the bar menu lol the drinks were good and the names were cool as well. The food was so/so but the rating comes from all the fun I had at the bar with the bartender. read more

I've been wanting to check this place offer sometime. I'm so happy that I did. The location is very centralized to 75 and easy access. They offer valet parking for free. The food is absolutely delicious. We ordered the crab fried rice, Cajun pasta, pancake, pancakes, and spinach dip. The spinach dip was so good. I had to order two. Our server Brittany was an absolute sweetheart. She kept our drinks filled. The ambience is amazing. I took a picture with the teddy bear. They are huge and heavy! They had a lovely Christmas decor, and it definitely set the vibes. I hope this place sticks around for a long time. Definitely check it out if you're in the area! If not make plans to visit! read more

We made reservations for the Charlotte this Sunday for brunch. The valet parking is a nice touch! However, I wish it was complimentary. The staff were friendly and you could clearly tell who the managers, chefs, hostess and servers were. Everyone had on uniforms which I felt was a nice touch. The place is smaller than I thought, but with careful table placement and a nice playlist it was a very cozy stop! We ordered the frozen espresso martini, the froze' and a regular espresso martini, the drinks were really tasty! We ordered appetizers, the crab fingers, oysters and fries. The fries tasted just like McDonald's fries! I don't know who has the hook up on the recipe but they got it! Lol The butter on the oysters and crab fingers were so good! Everything was really flavorful. We also ordered the catfish and grits, the grits were warm but not hot and the dish itself wasn't very flavorful. The crab fried rice was soooo good and the salads are to die for! I did find a hair in my oysters. The manager came over and addressed it immediately, bringing me a menu to order something else and comped both items. Things happen! It's all about how you handle it. He was professional and apologetic. Great manager!! I ended up getting the spicy lamb chops and they were BUTTERY. So tasty and tender I would definitely come back here. Great service and tasty food! read more

I Made a reservation on Open Table for dinner There's parking behind the building, and it's on a busy corner. It's charming when you walk in, and it didn't take us long to get our seats. Lucky for us, we got Deannah, and she was awesome--attentive and great. The drink, the food, and everything else were good about the experience. The calamari was delicious, crispy, and seasoned well. The crab cake was just as good. I'm not even a fan of peach much, but I'm happy Deannah recommended it. Because it was delicious, and let me tell you that spicy vodka is so good you can share it if you want . And the cornbread under that short ribs and grits, 10/10 SN: When getting the plates and cleaning up the table, I would suggest using a rag or napkin for the food dropped from the table on the table instead of using her hands to wipe it. But it was Easter Sunday and it was busy which I get. The second part was overhearing the conversation when asked about reserving the room we sat in for a later date or gathering, and overhearing the conversation made it awkward. Information about booking big groups or information, in general, should be shared with staff or hosts beforehand or away from customers hearing you would prefer not to meet them or ask the server to get their info instead. Overall, we enjoyed everything we ordered. The cookies and ice cream were so good, and the music playlist had me singing. great is a great spot to hang out with friends, go on a date, host a dinner, or just come for the good vibes and food read more

The ambiance was beautiful, service was mid. The food overall average; the crab cake was above average could have had another, I love me a good calamari but this one was okay. The fish was pretty good, it needed to be scaled a little more and next time cut the gills out the head (very picky when it comes to my fish as ah island girly). My overall experience wasn't the worst, it was calm/cool. read more

My boyfriend and I visited The Charlotte today for lunch, and it completely lived up to the hype. It was pretty busy when we arrived, but a very kind host noticed us looking for seats and helped us find spots at the second-floor bar, which we really appreciated. From the moment we sat down, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming bartender who truly made our visit. When I was torn between espresso martini options, he even let me sample one to help me decide; such a thoughtful touch! The drinks were amazing, and the food was just as good. There was a small spill while we were eating, but the way it was handled spoke volumes about their customer service. Our bartender immediately offered a replacement drink and even a new burger without hesitation. That level of care is hard to find. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, this place delivers on every level. The entire staff was incredible, and the customer service was some of the best I've ever experienced here in Dallas. We're already looking forward to coming back another day for dinner. Shoutout to our bartender/server Michael, thank you for such a great experience! read more

Such a cute and memorable spot! Charlotte has the perfect mix of great food and Instagram-worthy vibes. The ambiance is adorable--green is my favorite color, so I was obsessed with the décor, and the teddy bear theme added a fun, playful touch without feeling over the top. Food-wise, everything we ordered was delicious. I had the tuna tartare to start--super fresh and flavorful. For my main, I went with the pasta with salmon, which was creamy and well-balanced. My friend had the crab fried rice and the braised short rib--both dishes were beautifully presented and full of flavor. They do offer valet parking, but you can also find parking nearby in the area, which is always a plus. I would definitely come back--whether for the food, the vibe, or just to snap more cute pics! read more

I was really excited to try this place out, I looked at the menu before hand so I already know what I wanted to order. We were seated very quickly and the waitress was very nice. She gave us menus but it didn't have anything that I wanted on the menu. The waitress stated that they started a new brunch menus the day before, so she couldn't recommend much because she had not tried anything yet. I thought I'd keep it simple and order the chicken and pancakes. Well the chicken was like a shake n bake crust, which I didn't enjoy, and the pancakes were dense and the bottom was burned. The drinks however were delicious. I think I will give them another try for the evening menu. I'll update after that experience. read more

*DISCLAIMER: I absolutely hate leaving negative reviews. But you have to give the bad and the good. Also, we were there for dinner on a late Friday evening.* My best friend had her birthday dinner here on a late Friday evening. I was a bit thrown off by this place. First off the valet parking is stored in the back of the building with no entrance available. So, you're walking around the building to get to the front door. The waiting area is small. There were at least 15 people nearly hugging each other at the door. We had reservations and were all on time. So, not sure why we waited 15mins + for our table. Which seemed to be the same issue for 3 other reservations. The decor is very pretty, and upscale modern. But then you see these random big ole bears sitting around like it's some kids room. I thought I saw it move! I jumped! So, there are some conflicting themes here. At least to me... The appetizers were on point, for the most part. The crab fingers were delicious, but could've used a bread or toast for the sauce, the Charbroiled Oysters had a nice flavor, but was not charred, the calamari was awesome and the wings were amazing. I enjoyed my extra dirty martini so much that I had 2! I had a Cesar salad w/ the cornbread croutons- stellar! But the Smash Burger was a whole "NO" for me. The jerk aioli completely threw this burger off. It was like eating a heavily seasoned muddy burger. The jerk aioli was thick as mud. **The service staff was amazing! Very attentive and swift** Also, the DJ was really off for a Friday night. He played nothing but 80's & 90's slow jams. We were all yawning by the time the dinner rolled out... There is room for improvement, especially for the prices... If I return, I would definitely stick with the appetizers and no surprises with my meal. Try the extra dirty martini! read more

This was my first time going to the Charlotte it was great! I will say plan to get here a little early as the valet line was a bit long and congested. The place is decorated very nicely and has bears everywhere! Our waitress was very nice and although the restaurant was super busy at the time, she was also still very attentive. The food was definitely tasty and my mocktail was tasty as well. I'm not sure if there is a reason for me to return outside of an occasion but it was still cool! read more

The experience was good from start to finish. Made reservations for me and a friend to celebrate our birthdays. Went on a Sunday around 5:00pm. Valet was quick and efficient. Once inside the restaurant was really cute and the outside area as well. I spotted one of the huge teddy bears that I've heard about. We were seated shortly and because we were by a window with bright light the curtain was pulled for us. Our server was Braxton and he gets five stars. He gave great recommendations and he even got a sample of sauce for us try so we could see if it would be too spicy if we ordered it. This is a nice place for a date night or a girls night. I plan on going back with my hubby so I can try the whole snapper that's on the menu: read more

As a disclaimer, my review is based on a dinner I attended here held monthly by The Experience and it's hosted by the Charlotte head Chef on the 2nd floor. Tickets are purchased in advance and the chef creates a 4 course pre fixe dinner with wine. There is also live entertainment. My first time visiting. The look of the restaurant is warm cool and modern. The staff was welcoming and personally escorted me upstairs to the dinner event. The event staff was friendly, professional and attentive. The room was intimate had a bar and tables. Tables nicely set with gorgeous fresh flowers that incorporated actual fruit and vegetables ( done by the company Taru). The food was phenomenal! The tuna was fatty and fresh. The wagyu arancini was tender and flavorful. The chicken Milanese was bigger than my head! Absolutely no complaints and will be back next month! read more

Finally made it to The Charlotte. I'm actually very disappointed as it was so hyped up. I chose to get all appetizers which is probably where I went wrong because almost everyone was getting catfish and spaghetti. I wasn't a fan of the seasoning on the skewers and the martini was not definitely made with fresh lemon. I also got the crab fingers with both garlic butter and Cajun butter. They were overpowered by lemon. Lastly the crab fried rice. This was good but overpriced considering the crab was in the side, not mixed in, unseasoned and definitely out of a can. But I sat at the bar and the bartenders were nice. read more

I had an amazing time my first time at The Charlotte. The experience from beginning to end was amazing and the customer service was exceptional. The vibe was very nice lit candles R&B music gave a nice vibe. Our server Jemiracle was amazing she gave great recommendations for us off the menu. We started with the spinach dip which was good. I was a tab bit disappointed that they were out of the short rib. So I ended up with the catfish and spicy vodka pasta. The food came out fast and there was no extreme wait. Water was constantly flowing from everywhere making sure we were good which I enjoyed. I was told to come back for happy hour during the week and I cannot wait to go back!

We booked a table at The Charlotte after seeing the reviews. We had family visiting from Denver and wanted to take them somewhere a bit elevated where we could enjoy a great evening on the patio. We were seated quickly and got an amazing corner booth. My wife ordered the spicy vodka pasta with blackened shrimp--amazing--and we also had the oysters and corn. Everything we did get was absolutely delicious. Where things went off the rails: I sat there for about 45 minutes before we realized they never brought my steak frites. Our server was nowhere to be found and didn't come back after taking our order. I ended up going inside to speak with the manager, Brazil, and let her know my meal had been forgotten. We waited another 20 minutes before I finally went back in, found our server (on his phone by the heat lamps), and told him to just cancel it. At that point, we waited another 10 minutes before I saw Brazil again, along with someone who seemed to be her boss. I explained the situation as politely as I could and asked for a dessert menu since I still wanted our guests to enjoy the night. Brazil came over with a boxed steak frites, apologized, said she'd comp the entire ticket, and mentioned she'd provide a gift card for a future visit so we could have a proper experience--which was appreciated. Unfortunately, we never received a dessert menu or the gift card, and after waiting yet again, we decided it was easier to leave. For context, we had a 7:30 reservation and didn't leave until 10:30. The icing on the cake: when we got home, I realized even the boxed steak frites was wrong. I had ordered truffle fries, and instead got a lukewarm steak with a handful of under-seasoned fries. read more

February 2025 Reservation for lunch through OpenTable Parking: valet, complimentary. They text you a confirmation with a link for car retrieval. There may be street parking further down, but opt for valet for convenience. Very friendly service. Initial observation: cute- different than what I expected. Coats hung up at the front. 2 stories. I dined solo, upstairs. Friendly staff. Menu pricing : $$ my meal was $60 with tip included. What I ordered: Pornstar martini $18 (5/5), crab fried rice $26 (4/5). I really enjoyed my drink! I was already drinking before I got there, so I cannot speak to whether this is just a cutesy, flavorful drink, or one that could be categorized as a "limit 2" type of drink. I'm leaning towards the former. These martinis are 1/2 off during HH, when I will be returning to sit at the bar and try their smash burger. The crab fried rice was good- expensive for an appetizer, but I did eat it as a lunch entree and it was just enough. I would request less sesame, next time I order this, FOR SURE. Happy hour: Sunday through Friday, from 4 to 7 p.m., select bites and drinks are on special for $7-9. Included is the Caesar salad, calamari and a smashburger. The entire scratch bar craft cocktail menu is $9. Source : The Observer and menu Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience and will be returning. Suggestion: Next holiday season, not making reservations $95 per person, paid in advance. My plan was to dine there for dinner, but when I saw that , I was turned off. read more

I ordered the burger, spinach dip, and martini during happy hour. This place is gorgeous! It was perfect for girls night. The bar upstairs also has huge TVs with whatever game is currently on. I thought the burger was cooked well and flavorful! Their house sauce is great. I am not a fan of pickles so I was pretty disappointed when I found out that the happy hour burger doesn't come with fries and only has the pickle on the side. But my friend said the pickle had a great Cajun style seasoning on top. The spinach dip was also great with lots of cheese. I just wish they gave more chips proportional to how much extra dipping items they give you. The drink was strong and sweet! I appreciated the extra champagne on the side. Our server was kind and quick throughout the night! Overall I enjoyed it here! I think it's definitely more on the overpriced side during normal hours so definitely take advantage of happy hour to feel like you got a good deal. The vibe itself is worth at least one night out with friends. read more
