Bobbie's is turning into one of our favorite restaurants. We have been there several times in the past year and it has been consistently excellent. We always make a reservation and so far they have been able to honor those (i.e., we get seated within a few minutes). This is not true at some other restaurants where a reservation doesn't seem to guarantee you anything. Bobbie's has a "happening" atmosphere and the food and service are excellent. We usually get the smoked salmon appetizer and someone (or two) always orders the crab cakes which are the best we've ever had. This is a great restaurant in a convenient location.

Located in downtown Dallas, right next to the peaceful and charming Saint Ann Court, the restaurant offers complimentary valet parking in front, which made the visit especially convenient. We started with the Bread Basket ($24), which included a croissant, cinnamon roll, muffin, and a lightly sweet cronut-style pastry. At about $6 each, they may seem pricey at first, but every item was generously sized. Sharing each pastry between two people was more than enough, and we actually ended up taking two of them home. The Fruit Plate ($12) was absolutely worth ordering. The pineapple, honeydew, and other fruits were all perfectly ripe. Their sweetness, flavor, and texture were spot on and arguably some of the best-tasting fruit I've had at a restaurant. My husband ordered his favorite, the French Dip, while I chose the Niçoise Salad. The salad was very well executed. The dressing coated the greens evenly without overwhelming them, and the large chunks of tuna sashimi were lightly seared on the surface, creating a delicious smoky aroma and satisfying texture. The white anchovies added a pleasant acidity that elevated the dish. My only criticism is that the potato portion was rather small, making the overall composition feel slightly unbalanced. As for the atmosphere, we were seated toward the back of the dining room by a window with a large vintage-style mirror. The location was pleasantly removed from the family groups and larger parties, offering a quieter dining experience. However, the ornate mirror frame looked as though it had not been cleaned for some time, with visible accumulations of dust. It was distracting enough that I found myself worried about dust falling onto our food. To the restaurant's credit, a staff member promptly came over and cleaned it when we pointed it out. Despite that issue, we thoroughly enjoyed our brunch experience. The food quality was excellent, and I would love to return in the future to try their dinner service.

We had an outstanding meal here celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday! The staff went above and beyond to make her night special. When she arrived, there was an envelope at her place with her name on it. Inside was a birthday card signed by each member of the staff wishing her a happy birthday! Each menu item was so unique, delicious and beautifully displayed. I’m not even sure what my favorite was! We had the smoked beef tartare- a definite treat and I’d highly recommend it. Mom had an oyster snack to start that she loved and lamb that was super tender for her entree. I had the cauliflower appetizer (amazing!) and the ricotta gnudi. Sister got salmon and they did a wonderful job accommodating my vegan brother in law with special modifications. They even included a happy birthday chocolate on her dessert. Quarter Acre is a special place for a special occasion!!

Another great evening at The Charles. Service was great and not a morsel was left of the half dozen dishes we ordered. Hard to pick a favorite when everything was a 10. The Charles has become a birthday tradition for our family. We look forward to returning in a year, and at least a few times before then.

Great vibe, facilitated by the background music that changed as the evening progressed. We were allowed to enjoy our meal at an unhurried pace. If your party cannot decide what to order, we found the tasting menu a good intro to their selection

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Evening at Mister Charles — Truly Exceptional in Every Way! Mister Charles will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Less than a year ago, we had our very first date here, and last night, we returned to celebrate our first evening as a married couple. To say the experience was magical would be an understatement. From the moment we arrived, the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel incredibly special. The warmth, thoughtfulness, and genuine hospitality were simply extraordinary. Every detail was handled with such care, and the staff made what was already a meaningful evening even more unforgettable. The food was absolutely phenomenal, beautifully presented, expertly prepared, and exceptional from beginning to end. Every course was a reminder of why Mister Charles is such an extraordinary dining destination. The impeccable service complemented the cuisine perfectly, striking that rare balance of elegance, attentiveness, and genuine warmth. What truly sets Mister Charles apart, however, is the way they make their guests feel. Fine dining is about so much more than incredible food and a beautiful atmosphere; it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime. The team at Mister Charles understands this better than anyone. To return to the place where our love story began, now as husband and wife, was incredibly meaningful. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this celebration so special. Mister Charles isn’t just a restaurant to us anymore. It’s part of our love story. ❤️ Thank you for an absolutely perfect evening. We cannot wait to return for many more anniversaries and celebrations in the years ahead!

    We've eaten here too many times to count but brought friends for their first time and they left exclaiming that Walker's is their new favorite restaurant in Dallas. Every bite of food was perfect and the atmosphere is very un Dallas in the best way. There is no where else like it in this city.

    Ate on a Saturday night, booth for two in the bar. Full house yet quiet. We had the fish tacos and the ribs... both very good. Half-price wine night, the return of the burrata appetizer, great service. Thanks for a very nice evening!
