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.

We had the shoulder of pork as our main course which is the house speciality which was really special a lovely dish served with potatoes, salad and apple sauce. The desert of canoli was superb. We left very happy and off to the bord gais theatre. We will be back and would highly recommend this restaurant.
