Lived up to the recommendation, popped myself at the end of the bar and enjoyed a perfectly mixed negroni with an antipasto plate the highlight of plate was some pickled broccoli hearts and some top notch olive oil. Followed this with a cerviche of travelli with jalapeños and herb salad. Perfect mix of fish, heat and herb, washed down with a Riesling that matched perfectly. Staff attentive enough.

Not the cheapest eats either, but quality costs. Just don't come feeling too hungry - the serving sizes are on the small size, and really made to accompany the wine and cocktails more than to fill you up. Perfect place for a drink and a light snack before you head out elsewhere, or perhaps a quick one the way home.

I typically prefer pubs over 'bar' type establishments, but LongPlay was a pleasant surprise. The staff at LongPlay are knowledgeable and welcoming. read more I typically prefer pubs over 'bar' type establishments, but LongPlay was a pleasant surprise.
