Decked out with beach motifs and rattan lounge chairs, Summerlong is equally perfect for after-work drinks with friends as it is for sunny weekend brunches with the young ones. Executive chef Justin Hammond, who also heads up the kitchen at sister restaurant Neon Pigeon, serves up Eastern Mediterranean fare at this riverside restaurant and bar.

Be sure not to miss highlights like sweet corn and goat cheese fritters, smoked ribs, and classic chickpea with spiced lamb to go with easy-drinking cocktails that pack quite the punch.
