Restaurant review: Lennan's Yard is a million-euro dining experience

"Named for Willam Lennan, a saddler who had a workshop on Dawson Street in the 1800s, it is difficult to get a grip on the extent of the space as it goes back further than you would think possible, and extends over a number of floors."

The money spent is evident in the furnishings, the lighting, and in the beautiful Alice Maher paintings on the tastefully scrubbed bare walls.
