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 got there very early, and Ginny at the front found us a great spot. We appreciated it so much on Christmas Eve. Lilly was our server and was fabulous! She never missed a thing even though she was busy. The food was so good. My husband had a filet & lobster tail, with lobster bisque. He said it was great. I had the golden beet salad (for the 2nd time), which was so good. And, a filet. Both filets were done perfectly. What a nice Christmas Eve!

This was a wonderful dining experience. The focal point is the stunning skyline view of downtown Raleigh. As we enjoyed the view we sipped wine and enjoyed freshly made pasta. My dish was a parmesan risotto with scallops in brown butter. This was a special and was mouthwatering. Dessert was the Tortina, a chocolate pastry accompanied by strawberries and gelato. To close our meal we had a complimentary Prosecco. This is a wonderful restaurant and bar. We look forward to returning in warm weather when we can enjoy the outside deck.
