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.

Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the place was cozy and the service was outstanding! Perfect for a special dinner. We went there to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and the waiters and waitress were so attentive and made sure it was memorable. Luna was super nice and helpful with her recommendations. We can’t wait to come back and try other dishes, they really were absolutely delightful (and so many vegetarian options!). Highly recommend!
