- RRossVIPRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •279 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a wonderful meal at Mandolin. The service was excellent, as was the food (we both had the lamb dish). Their wine list is first rate, although not inexpensive. Very highly recommended - one of our favorite Raleigh restaurants.More infoMandolinPrice: Moderate• Southern• Raleigh•4.6

- LLisaVIPRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •75 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe've been to Tandem many times and always enjoyed our meals there. This time, we had three old favorites: the deviled eggs, the Caesar salad, and the short rib. We also tried the daily catch, which was sea bass with a truffle butter. It was excellent. We will return.More infoTandemPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carrboro•4.6

- BBobRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined on Feb 6, 2025This place is run and feels like an exquisite symphony. Everything was perfection. We had a few wines that I will remember for a very long time. So many personal touches too in celebration of my birthday. Personalized menus signed by the chef and a goodie bag of beautiful chocolates and a couple jellies. Really an incredible experience that will stay with me for a very long time.More infoFearrington House RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Chapel Hill•4.8
