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 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.

What a fabulous experience. We've dined there several times and had out-of-town guests with us! They couldn't stop raving about the meal, the service, the wait-staff and the ambiance. We were very happy to "show off" your restaurant! Thank you for an enjoyable evening! Susan McGuire
