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.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. We stayed a long time chatting and they didn't ask for the table back until after nearly 2 hours. Lovely food. I hadn't realised the kitchen closes for food at 11 when I booked the table for 10:30 but that was probably my own fault. Beautiful setting with great views and lovely decor. We were all very content leaving.
