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.

Wow, this was my wife, and I first experience with Lebanese cuisine. Sitti was amazing. Tonight ambiance was just right for late dinner for 2. We started out with the vegan tasting hummus, fattoush, and I my wifey fall in love with the robust tasty warak anab wrapped with grape leaves. To keep it safe, I ordered the Samkeh Harra it was pan-seared with the flaky bottom on kale. What a peacasterian delight for a great night at Sitti. The servicer was friendly and quick and efficient with our plates. If you are a vegan and vegetarian, I recommend Sitti 5 stars for date night in the heart of downtown Raleigh! It was overall 5 stars experience for the Bishop's!

This is our favorite place to come before attending an event at DPAC. The food is delicious and everyone is so friendly. Our server was Tassia and she did an excellent job!

Excellent service. Our waitress, Katrina, was thorough, thoughtful and friendly. We appreciated the way she checked on us during our dinner and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and arrived hot. We’ll be back.

Good local food and environment. It is not Ruth Chris but it also not McDonalds.
