Reviews

A hidden in plain sight, gem. We dined nearby at R21 and Gebr. Hartering and stumbled across HPL. The cocktail menu is crafted with such care and ingenuity and watching the mixologist at work was as much a part of the great experience as the drinks themselves. A lovely place to start or end your evening. You’ll feel…
