What People Are Saying About Charlie Palmer at The Joule

Well-heeled hotel patrons and Dallas foodies peer into the Next Vintage wine shop before approaching polite and attractive hosts. A champagne or cocktail is offered while guests relax on tall leather bar stools at the dimly lit bar. Oversized turbines leisurely spin overhead in a room done in earthy ambers and rustic reds. The warm aroma of roasted garlic envelop diners as bison rib-eye steaks are whisked by as wonderfully meticulous waiters allow guests to personally build their meal.

Bad Service

by Tambi

We love Charlie's in Vegas and were excited when they opened a restaurant here. However the service in Dallas leaves a lot to be desired. From the hostess stand to our waiter, nobody seems to care if we were there or not.

  • Pros: Food
  • Cons: Service

Dining Around The Theme Of Electric Power ..Measured!

by KurtWvS

I have just personally tried this upscale downtown restaurant recently and highly recommend it! I think it’s among Dallas’ high-end restaurants, the Charlie Palmer restaurant is excellent—go check it out when you get the chance. You can find it inside the Joule Hotel across from the Iron Cactus south of the original Neiman Markus store on Main Street. I would say that by “celebrity chef standards,” Charlie Palmer does keep its flame burning red-hot due to their attention to detail in more than just the area of grub. And according to the feedback I hear from my friends, this place surpasses all expectations consistently! I told someone recently that it’s as serious as a migraine, only in a good way—yup, a very positive dining experience. Ya gotta try the lobster corndogs and man.. the dry-aged NY sirloin with bone marrow flan was a carnivore’s delight. I noticed that D Magazine rates this particular dry aged steak (BTW: they age them right there on the property..) thee very best steak in Dallas. My wife enjoyed the blue cheese crusted filet mignon. We both loved the Hen of the Woods, the Trumpet Royale and the Cremini Oxtail Ragout mushrooms! You can probably tell that I’m no high-brow snooty connoisseur or “foodie” per se, but I would call what the Charlie Palmer puts out, very straightforward Progressive American. And this superb cuisine that would please a real connoisseur is served with top notch professional service. Our wait help was very attentive, personable, and awake on more than one level. How does one pronounce the name of the hotel where it’s located? Basically, just like you would a precious “jewel” in English but the word comes from how electric power is measured—that’s why the décor deals with wind, turbines etc. Very fitting theme—fully energetic! —Kurt W. von Schleicher

  • Pros: GM Mr. Enam Chowdhury and American-French Fusion Cuisine!
  • Cons: No drawbacks that I could see, taste ..or smell thank God!
