I have tried this upscale downtown restaurant and highly recommend it! Among Dallas’ high-end restaurants, the Charlie Palmer restaurant is ueber-excellent in every way. You can find it inside the Joule Hotel across from the Iron Cactus south of the original Neiman Markus store on Main. I would say that by “celebrity chef standards,” Charlie Palmer does keep its flame burning red-hot, because what we hear from our guests it surpasses all expectation consistently! It’s as serious as a migraine, only in a good way--a very positive dining experience. You really must try the lobster corndog and the dry-aged NY sirloin with bone marrow flan. D Magazine rates this dry aged steak thee very best steak in Dallas. My wife enjoyed the blue cheese crusted filet mignon. And we both loved the Hen of the Woods, the Trumpet Royale and the Cremini Oxtail Ragout mushrooms! I call the Charlie Palmer very straightforward Progressive American. The superb cuisine is served with the best of service—very attentive and awake. You basically pronounce the name of the hotel just like you would a precious “jewel” in English and the word comes from how electric power is measured—very fitting. Fully alive! —Kurt W. von Schleicher
Pros: GM Mr. Enam Chowdhury and American-French Fusion Cuisine!
