A lovey lunch. Staff were great with us and also dealt with a tricky customer really well beside us who I would say was angling for a discount. Well done all.

Mackenzie's is a really nice restaurant in an interesting location at Grand Canal Dock and close to the Bord Gais Theatre, which was what took two of us there. The menu is not terribly exciting but the cooking was excellent and the food well presented. Good wine, beer and cocktail list. Best of all was the service: efficent, friendly and helpful.
