The fall lunch menu includes twice-fried chicken with potato gratin and carrots ($12), a Cane Creek Farm burger ($12) and macaroni and cheese with duck confit ($13). Dinner includes seared scallops with celery root purée, black truffles and local apples ($12) and grilled striped bass with bok choy, black trumpet mushrooms, duck confit, grapefruit and grains ($22). Fowler plans to source most of his food from local growers. Thus, the menu will change frequently depending on availability.
Fowler says Mandolin will also feature brunch on Saturday and Sunday and "a progressive and interesting wine list and craft cocktail program." To view Mandolin's full menu and hours, visit the restaurant online.
