• Southern • Raleigh
Booked 30 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.

    Amazing food, warm and prompt service, and inviting atmosphere. There was live music which was loud enough to enjoy but didn’t overpower or distract from table conversation. Out server, Lily, was delightful! We shared the black eyed pea falafel and each had the spanakopita. Yum! The recent declaration of Irregardless Restaurant Day is well deserved!
