Mr.Lynes, did you eat at Foliage and think it was worth 3 stars? I never did, but I live in North London and discovered Hywel Jones's food while he was at Lola's. I thought his cooking was amongst the best to be had in London. When he left for Pharmacy, I dined there shortly thereafter. Delays, yes, but nonetheless the same quality of cooking. But the restaurant itself was nowhere in the same league as Lolas, who I found to be charming and friendly. If I remember correctly, Jefford gave Lola's 5 out of 5 for their wine list, a rating I fully concur with as they are very enthusiastic about their wines, and not greedy on pricing. I think Maschler was correct in her rating of Lolas, as much because of their effort and sincerity as anything else. I too would sooner go to places like Chez Bruce or Lola's as Pharmacy any day, because, even though they make mistakes, there seems to be a genuine desire to please. Went there a week or so ago,with a new chef in residence. Still excellent.
