Mandolin

Most incredible brunch I’ve had in a long time, thank you so much for the perfect experience

We arrived for our reservation to find the restaurant closed and dark. No email or text to alert us, but when we called the phone number, the recording said they had to close for a covid infection. I feel bad for the restaurant, but why no notification, especially given we made the rez through OpenTable? Our first trip to Raleigh and it had been recommended, plus there is a hard stop rule in effect for dining, so disconcerting. Fortunately, we found a very nice place, Coquette, near our hotel and made it in time to have a delicious dinner. We will try again if we ever get back to Raleigh.

Amazing food, terrific service and offstreet parking!

Sean is an amazing chef; his tasting menus are always creative. The menu consisted of several options; each course was excellent. The wine pairings were perfect. Looking forward to our next dining experience at Mandolin.

New Year’s Tasting menu was outstanding. The service was impeccable. Can’t wait to go back.

Mandolin is very consistent. No matter when we go we have great food and service. The atmosphere is wonderful!

Mandolin never disappoints! My friends and I will be back.

Once again, Mandolin delivers an outstanding experience!

Awesome food and service. Good social distancing between tables.

Waiter was great. Service was fast. Social distancing was very good.

The steak and eggs were delicious! Also, the best biscuits my husband and I have ever had. We'll definitely be back soon!

Excellent and affordable bottles of wine. Fantastic service and very good food. Nice ambiance as well.

Food was good. Staff was accommodating. Wait times felt a little long for the food and dessert to arrive. Overall a good experience.

Amazing food and the mimosas were made with fresh squeezed orange juice. Great brunch spot!!!

Maybe they are trying too hard with some of their combinations.

Food and service great! Soup, salad, ribeye and red drum and those little cornbreads. Might suggest a pad/ cushion on the out door metal seating-in the fall weather that metal is cold to sit on.

Food (Pork and Rice) was cold.

The food was very over seasoned and the portions were really small compared to the cost. We were both really disappointed.

What a great time. We had the pork belly first course. I had the chicken and waffles as my second. Yes that one belongs on the menu forever. The cornbread was sweet like I like it, and the drink I ordered was delicious with the right amount of kick. I’ll go again!

Classy atmosphere with seasonal farm to table food.

Fantastic oyster starter, followed by a delicious beet salad. Entree was the chicken and waffles and it was amazing. Great service, love this local spot!

It was a perfect night, the food was outstanding and the wine selection was impressive. I love Spanish wines and they have so many to choose from by the glass or bottle. The server was too good we just happened to be low key and the server was very attentive. In these times of uncertainty it was a lovely night at an amazing restaurant. They clearly are taking everyone’s health and safety into consideration while also creating a space where you can enjoy the night with someone you love. 10/10!

Went for dinner and I was disappointed. The food lacked flavor and freshness. Oysters did not taste as fresh as some other dining establishments with similar cuisine. The best part was dessert.

It was my Birthday

The food was incredible: highlights include the pork belly, sweet potato soup, and shrimp risotto. The service was great. Well spaced out for COVID comfort and good protocols for everyone's safety.

I felt very comfortable with the layout of the restaurant given the pandemic requirements. The ambience of the restaurant may have suffered a bit from being less crowded. But overall it was a very nice evening.

The oysters were outstanding and the red drum was spectacular! Great service too!

Food was fine, service was sloooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww took us 2 hours. Won't be coming back.

overall ok . maybe the main dinner came out to fast. shrimp appetizer to salty. Beans missing in beef tartare

Delicious food. Great value. Staff was warm and inviting.

Great food and great service! Got the 32oz steak and loved every bite. Our server had us a new drink before it was half empty and was very impressed. Atomostphere was very nice. I celebrated a milestone birthday and would definitely go back!

everything about our experience was absolutely phenomenal.

Mandolin is one of our favorite places to eat and this time did not disappoint! We all had the chicken and waffles for the main dish with shrimp risotto and pork belly for 1st courses. Lots of flavor (my favorite food characteristic) in everything we ate.

Food and service were excellent. Don't hesitate to make a reservation.

This was our first time eating out in sometime and we had a very nice experience. They have the social distancing set up down and the food and service were excellent.

Wonderful first experience! We went for our anniversary and it was delightful. The food was superb with a devoted emphasis to local and seasonal ingredients. Our server was knowledgable and gave excellent service. One opportunity for improvement (though we made a same day reservation and these are strange times) was that we went for our anniversary which we put on the reservation and one of the party is vegan; but they seemed unaware of these details and made no acknowledgement of either. Our server did help out a great deal with the vegan option selection, but something for our anniversary would have made this an exceptional night.

Everything was wonderful. The biscuits and gravy with the fried chicken add on was so delicious!

Great service and great food! We really enjoyed it.

Great food, great waiter (Branden), social distancing, and an overall amazing restaurant.

Terrible dinner the very expensive 22 0z steak was not edible!
