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.

    We have been to Irregardless at least 500 times - starting in the early 90's. Our most recent dinner was certainly one of the best we have had there. Their current menu is heavily vegetarian, which works great for us as my wife is a vegetarian. The beef bourguignon was simply fantastic for me. And best of all, the salad with the lemon tahini dressing has been unchanged since we first had it 30 years ago. We haven't been going as much lately as parking is a bit tricky, but I think we will be back more often again.

    Nice chill vibe, intimate without trying to be. All of our meals were well presented and flavorful. Delicately spiced and seasoned. Our portions were all generous too. The appetizers, the veggie spring rolls, were excellent. Also nice they have beers from Brewery Bhavana, next door.

    I had 6 special guests and the restaurant was the rave of all 6. Excellent food, we had a variety of dim sum dishes to start with our excellent cocktails. Some had entrees, others ordered some more dim sum. All good. Service impeccable. This a a large restaurant and a lively place but not all that loud- nice acoustics. A good Malbec wine at a good price. Excellent treat. Recommend!

    Such a great ambience. I recommend going 1 hour before sunset to get a great a great set of colors coming through the glass. Food was very tasty , the bread and salted butter on the boards is first class. Probably the best club sandwich I have had, and I’ve had a few. Fantastic way to spend an early evening then you get to walk and art gallery of furniture afterwards!!!
