Restaurants near Stunning Grand Canal Square View

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.

Overall everything was lovely apart from when we finished our main course. 3 out of the 5 of us ordered a dessert and our dinner plates were never picked up from our table. Once our dessert came, it was placed beside the empty dinner plates and the staff left them there. This was not acceptable. Service was quite slow and this was poor. However every course was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Really great food in a restaurant with a lovely ambiance in a good setting. White chocolate panacotta was divine.

Amuse bouche was a burrata with tomato emulsion. Scallops as starter and venison for main course were perfectly cooked and delicious.

The service was excellent. very friendly. We were running late on the night, the hotel was very busy but the manager ensured we we got our food order in straight away and made the show wee were attending in Bord Gáis. Very kind. And the burger was delicious. Thank you so much. Very grateful to the staff.
