Price: Moderate

Booked 11 times today
Mandolin is a breath of fresh air to the Raleigh dining scene, combining a casual atmosphere with fresh, contemporary, Southern fare. Mandolin uses the highest quality local ingredients to create seasonal menus that resonate with foodies and casual diners, alike. We share our food in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere that replaces the stuffiness of fine-dining with Southern charm. The menu and ambiance reflect the character of Raleigh itself- a blend of rustic and refined, contemporary and traditional, rural and metropolitan. Mandolin, like the City of Oaks, is Southern at its roots, but draws influences from around the world. We love our new home in Hayes Barton, just a stone's throw from Five Points, on the corner of Oberlin and Fairview.

    Beautiful restaurant, service was good. Food was tasty, but expensive (which is what we expected). We waited quite a bit for our food, so I’m glad we ordered the corn bread, which was delicious. The lighting was shockingly bright and took away from the ambience of the dinner, which would be my biggest feedback! Overall good experience.

    Our server was excellent; making great recommendations and even gifting the table with an app for the table to try, keeping in mind our food allergies and preferences. Everyone raved about their personal dishes, including the pork belly soup, chicken curry, and a papaya salad with trout. Prices are fair and there is something on the menu for everyone, even if you think you’re not a fan of Asian food. Lovely atmosphere as well. Will definitely go again!

    You need to define or let people know where the parking is and have availability for handicap parking without walking a city block away The doctors parking across the street I am sure people are being towed from there as they thought that it was parking for your location
