Fodor's Expert Review Mackenzie's

Located on the Grand Canal Basin which connects the River Liffey and the Grand Canal, the bright and stylish dining room of this popular new spot features an upturned rowing boat on the ceiling, a nod to its location between these two iconic bodies of water. An open kitchen lines the back wall of the restaurant, and features a copper wood-fired pizza oven. The fare is classic American, with generous pancake platters, cheeseburgers, pizzas, sundaes, and giant cookies all designed to encourage lively, casual gatherings and sharing. The bar is a lively spot for afterwork drinks and the outdoor terrace overlooking the canal is the place to be for weekend brunch, a fairly new concept and dining category in this city.
