Mandolin Restaurant and Venue - Food (VIC)

5 /5 Kobei Vlogs: Had our Valentine’s dinner at Mandolin and it was a really nice experience. The atmosphere was lively and romantic, and the place had a great vibe throughout the night. The set menu was generous, with plenty of food, and everything came out fresh and well presented. Staff were friendly and working hard, especially considering how busy the night was. The desserts and drinks were also a highlight and made the night feel extra special. Overall, a great spot for a special occasion. We’ll definitely be back.

5 /5 Penelope Tafao: Nice view and affordable food. The service was okay overall—mainly the boys and the manager in charge were good. Unfortunately, the two girls were a little grumpy, with no smiles at all. I raised my hand twice, but she didn’t come to serve our table. I’m not sure if she didn’t see me or was trying to ignore us. However, overall it was okay and the view was amazing. When I booked our table, I added a note requesting a bottle of wine on the table with a “Happy Anniversary” message, but when we arrived, there was nothing. Despite that, everything else was fine and the view was beautiful.

5 /5 free range human: Restaurant with the best view in Caroline Springs. Wide range of Western and Middle Eastern food, with kiddo options. The steaks and dips are great, and I love the lemon mint drink which is cold, fresh and unsweetened. I also usually grab a box of assorted baklava to snack on or for my family or friends, nicely packaged and all great tasting. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is spacious, clean and well maintained, and you feel like youre in a comfortable setting whether for family, party with friends, or business. If youre in the Western Suburbs, this is probably one of the best places to grab a shisha as well! Go for the Love66 if you have a chance. Youll sit at the covered patio outside if you do, with the best views. Weekend evenings are crowded - but easy to get a table at any other time.

5 /5 Leighroy Jenkins: I had the Calabrese pizza and my partner had the Frutti di mare spaghetti. The price is fantastic and the quality that came out for the price is second to none. So much cheaper than most other venues I have been to which is refreshing. Staff where very friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend, great views from the balcony as well.
