Restaurants near SMU Charming Cottage

My best friend and I celebrated my birthday with lunch at The Charlotte, and it was such a wonderful experience. We ordered the spicy vodka pasta and the Cajun truffle malfadine, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The restaurant was stunning during the day, and I imagine it would be even more beautiful at night. I highly recommend visiting, whether it’s with someone special or a group of friends.

I don't think of here often. The location was perfect. We had a party of 7 that was from 5 to 85-yo. I requested to be tucked away somewhere quiet. This was perfect! Everyone raved about their meals. My mother went on about how nostalgic it was to be there. Newly revealed lore is that I have been going there since before I was born. It is a rare old gem for Dallas that generally shuns what's old.

Delicious food and outstanding service every time we visit. A favorite.

The food was good but unseasoned glad they had salt & pepper on the table. Our waitress was nice & attentive but she never offered us the Mimosa flight. The manager was strict. Mimosas were not very strong. Very diverse crowd, low music playing would have been nice. I had the whiskey French toast. The French toast was nice and fluffy but if you’re not a whiskey fan, don’t get it. The whiskey was very overpowering. overall, nice experience. I’d go again.

Fun food experience ! Food is delish and service is spot on
