Ordered food and drink at 8.30.Drinks came immediately. After an hour ordered another drink ( which they gave us on the house because of the delay) were told we were next for food. After finishing drinks still no food so we paid and left.We would mot return or recommend. Very disappointed.

I recently had brunch at the Open Page and it was a great experience. The menu had a nice variety of options. The eggy bread, crispy bacon and maple syrup was delicious- lovely twist on the American classic! The cocktails were another highlight as is the wine list and recommendations. Service was prompt and attentive, and super friendly. The ambiance laid back and welcoming, and the presentation of the dishes was on point. The meal ended on a high note with an excellent cheese board Overall, The Open Page is a solid choice for brunch. I look forward to returning soon for their ever so popular Sunday Roast!

After a couple of really nice meals at the Open Page, we had a family meal there last night but left feeling really disappointed. We were surprised to see that the rugby was being shown and there was a large group of noisy lad who disrespected my wife, and turned the usually nice atmosphere into what you'd expect from a sports bar. Now I wouldn't usually link this kind of thing to the establishment itself but they seemed to know one of the owners, and we overheard him asking them to keep it down because of 'that table', which made us feel really awkward that somehow our presence was ruining their fun. Despite all this, the waiter was excellent and the food was really nice. Real shame because we've had some lovely meals there in the past, but I'll be much more cautious in recommending the Open Page in the future, particularly when they're showing sports.

This is a very chi chi gastro bar; the food and service standards are stellar. They obviously have a real desire to give a great customer experience. The decor and the ambience make this a great place to visit as a couple or with a group of friends. If you have an interest in rugby James (co-owner) is a passionate and knowledgeable England rubgy fan who is always up for the banter! Dom (co-owner) has a focus on maintaining a wine list which gives great choice and a chance for new vineyards to showcase their wines among the staples. Well worth frequent vists which will be your inclination after your first encounter.

I came for Sunday lunch with a friend, based on a recommendation he'd received and we weren't disappointed. The Sunday lunch was excellent. The meat was perfectly cooked, the Yorkshire pudding was homemade and the vegetables were plentiful and delicious. We both ate well and enjoyed both meats which we shared. I couldn't manage a desert, which was a shame. The Open Page has a friendly, welcoming, laidback feel and the team that served us were professional, turning up at the table just when we needed them. Also dog friendly which is also a win. There's a lot of good places to eat in the Earlsfield area, but The Open Page is a worthy contender. Highly recommended.

I had a lovely birthday dinner here with three friends on a Tuesday evening. The atmosphere was great, our waiter was really friendly and attentive and the food was really tasty. I loved my prawns and the tuna - and the £16.95 menu for two courses was great. They welcomed my newborn baby and my friend's puppy but lost a star for very average chips according to two of us. I'd still go back though!

We hosted my baby’s christening at The Open Page and were so impressed. Ahead of the day, we went for a planning meeting and wine tasting and talked through every detail we wanted. The venue also took receipt of balloons and decorations and set up for us. On the day we arrived to welcome drinks and a delicious 3 course lunch, which we pre-ordered. Our guests were really impressed and one even commented “one of the best roasts I’ve ever had.” Good quality, plentiful food and although we just had an area to ourselves, it felt very special. The staff were also great - clearly well trained serving staff rather than casual staff. We’ve been back many times since too!

Heard from a friend that the service was very slow but wanted to give it a try as always wanting to support local and independent but unfortunately mains took over an hour to come and even when they did it was a very poor standard of food.

We had a reservation then when we arrived we were told it would be 20 minutes for food. Fine. It was actually 40 minutes before we were even given our coffees. We asked if we could even see a menu and were then told it would be an hour before we'd be able to eat because they had a table of 8 to care for. This is ridiculous for several reasons. People who arrived the same time as us were being given their food, so not everyone was being treated the same. The table of 8 were given more than one round of drinks whereas it took 20 minutes for our waiter to even look at us and ask if we wanted anything to drink. I've never come across such poor service and any restaurant that can't handle serving 5 tables at really shouldn't be accepting reservations.

We were initially met with "sorry no space" (we took a chance and walked in with three small kids) but then relented and offered us a slot for 90 minutes which extended. Food was DELICIOUS. The childrens simple burgers were particularly good and my little girls pasta was wasted on her but a very generous portion of pappardelle with a simple sauce. Friendly staff, good drinks, great food. The only downside is I don't live in earlsfield any more otherwise I'd become a regular.

I have visited 5 times now - the first 2 (summer 2021) were incredible. Very high standards of food - we absolutely loved the tuna tartare with avocado mousse & the lamb rump with dauphinoise. We recommended to everyone we know that lives nearby as we felt we had discovered a real gem - amazing 'centre of london' food, in the neighbourhood and at reasonable prices. On our recent visit at the end of Jan, we came away really really disappointed. The menu had changed significantly and the food was poor - made even worse by prices that still reflected the high quality we had first had. I had the sautéd chicken livers on toast, which whilst edible wasn't great and was served on a piece of warm bread (not toast). My wife had garlic prawns with toast - again not toast, but the prawns looked like the basic ones from a supermarket. Our main courses arrived after a lengthy delay. The risotto was cold, undercooked, no seasoning/ flavour and a tiny portion. The lamb shank with lentils was edible, but also cold and served with beans - a rip off at £18. I left with the feeling that I could have cooked a far better meal, which when you are paying £85 for a meal for 2 is not great. It's really disappointing to see how quickly this has gone from high-end dining to somehwere that is serving cheap products poorly (livers, lamb shank) at the same prices as old menu. I understand the previous chef is no longer there, but they need to fix this or change tack with the menu/ style before we return.

A disappointment overall. The chilli squid was so crunchy and we could barely find the tiny scraps of squid inside - it was more like fried Skips. The Tiger prawns were actually 8 King prawns which was a rip off for £10.80! We both had a burger for main. The bun was dry and tasted like it'd been defrosted quickly. There was hardly any sauce either. The table next to us complained about the lack of sauce on theirs too. Our bill came to £80 for 2 starters, 2 mains and some non alcoholic drinks which feels very overpriced. On the plus side, the waitress was lovely and friendly and the restaurant decor is nice inside too. We left feeling a bit sad as last year's reviews looked great and we wondered what's happened since then? Perhaps the challenges with covid have forced them to cut corners. Maybe there's been a change of chef. Whatever it is though I'm afraid we won't be going back.

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Really wanted to enjoy this but just missed the mark in a few ways. The staff were all very friendly and the restaurant inside looks great. But sadly it took 1.5hrs after sitting until our mains came and really didn’t see a lot coming out the kitchen at times. One starter (the ham terrine ) was good, but sadly the muscles were a bit underwhelming . For mains we had the fish and it arrived cold and not a huge amount of flavour, burger was overcharred and dripping with oil, and the fry’s were not fully cooked through. it was a good menu but like it was another chef who was cooking it vs who came up with it. My reservation was on OpenTable but was removed meaning I couldn’t feedback directly to the restaurant on the platform, so no choice but to review via Google. Lovely place with a good vibe and I hope the feedback is taken onboard. This might have been an unlucky meal we had, as other reviews are good

Unfortunately this was one of the worst dining experiences my partner and I have ever had. I had been DYING to visit The Open Page since they opened, and we finally had the chance to go last Friday, 15 Oct. Sadly, the food was disappointing in every single way, and we left hungry. Starters*: Gin-cured Trout Game Terrine Mains: Lamb Rump with Dauphinoise Potatoes Corn-fed Chicken Breast with a mushroom cream sauce Side of Seasonal Greens (tenderstem broccoli) Drinks: Bottle of Argentinian Malbec (*The gentleman who brought the Starters to our table informed us they would be taken off the bill to compensate for the exceptionally long wait we had. Not the greatest start.) Being creatures of habit, we both ordered dishes we love. Gin-cured trout is one of my very favourite starters when I go out to eat. If it's on a menu then I'm ordering it! Unfortunately The Open Page's gin-cured trout was inedible. The most unappetising greyish-pink, the large chunk of trout was tough and bitter - it was as bitter as the pith of a grapefruit! I couldn't eat it and set it to the side. Our waitress, bless her, was lovely and offered to replace it with an order of their Focaccia with dipping oil and balsamic vinegar. This replacement starter of "focaccia with dipping oil" was merely three large pieces of deep-fried bread. It smelled like a plate of oily donuts. Not great. I tried a piece dipped in the oil - which most diners would assume would be Olive Oil. No. This tasted like cheap cooking oil. My partner was so unhappy he asked what the oil was which the waitress checked for us. Indeed it was not Olive Oil but Rapeseed oil... and it was not a good quality at that. My partner's Game Terrine was interesting. The Terrine slice itself was edible, but it was more like a cold, meat pie than a terrine. Sadly the terrine was let down by the accompaniments on the plate - some tasteless, crunchy onions which seemed to have been sweetened with brown sugar (no, these were not caramelised onions) and a beetroot-goats cheese mousse that didn't really go with the terrine and tasted like something from the shop. Our waitress was lovely yet apologetic as she cleared our plates. Then came the 30-40 minute wait for our mains. Food takes time, of course, but we placed our initial orders around 8:15pm and by 9:42pm still had no mains in sight. At this point I started a 5 minute clock saying to my partner I was happy for us to pay for the wine and leave to get food else where. To say our confidence in the mains had evaporated would be an understatement. That 5 minutes passed, and we called over a member of staff to ask about our mains/getting the bill when we then saw our waitress approaching with our food. My lamb rump looked acceptable, but a bit messy. That I could forgive as I was becoming hangry. My partners dish, on the other hand, was interesting to say the least. The chicken had been rolled up, cut at a sharp angle, and stood on the plate so it was spikes up. The same with the potato. These chicken spikes alternated with the potato spikes which resulted in a strange 4-pronged plate of beige. The chicken prongs were over-seasoned, and the potato prongs were under seasoned. There were two slivers on mushroom in the sauce, and it wasn't particularly appealing. My lamb rump was under seasoned, but it was cooked beautifully rare in parts. Other parts of it were a bit blue which is simply too rare for my personal taste. The dauphinoise potatoes were undercooked and topped with a cheese sauce that tasted like something from the shop. The carrots and onion (maybe a radish?) on the side were disgraceful though. The carrots had no seasoning and were not cooked properly. They tasted old as opposed to tender. The onion/radish situation was very disappointing as well. I couldn't tell if the little, round, white, vegetable was an onion or a radish that had all the flavour boiled out of it. Both vegetables I love, but they were soft and tasteless - again, not seasoned. The tenderstem broccoli hadn't been properly cooked either. It hadn't been steamed long enough, so it arrived quite raw and tough but also a bit charred. It wasn't dressed in anything other than some flaked sea salt - no olive oil, no butter. It wasn't a treat to eat. The positives? The wine and our waitress. Our waitress was so lovely at every turn and she was receptive to our criticism of the food. We saw other diners' dishes be sent back the same night, and keeping her grace and composure must have been difficult on such a challenging night. But she was great, and our wine was delicious. Never before have we sent a dish back nor have we gone for a two course meal and left hungry, but I suppose there is a first time for everything. Based on that one experience, I would not recommend The Open Page, and I have no intention of returning.

First time I’ve left a restaurant hungry!!Didn't make a fuss as I was being treated by my family.Informal Sunday lunch booked well in advance but a 1 and a half hour wait for food?Not on.I had the so called fish pie which was basically a ramekin of mush.In spite of being asked which potatoes we’d like, it arrived only with a few stems of overcooked broccoli.I was told it didn’t come with any other vegetables. The owner did come up with 2 roast potatoes between my niece a I and a couple of tablespoons of mixed vegetables.So disappointing.I was literally hungry on leaving the place.Basically the venue looks the part but obviously can not come up with the goods.Will not be returning

Great outdoor seating, high quality food, attentive service. Not cheap, but fairly priced for the quality. Delicious treacle tart :) We ate out Thursday evening around 6:30pm and it started off quiet but started filling up. The indoor seating looked good too.

Outstanding!!! I have come to the open page a few times now and the place never disappoints! Staff is super professional and friendly and the food is Michelin star level! Lucky to have this restaurant almost on my doorstep!

It's a pity that Google can't yet tell whether I visit a business premises because I'm a customer or because I was there to maintain the electrical system at the property. Even though, I've worked in the kitchen several times, and I can honestly say that all the food created by Harry and the kitchen team, looks exceedingly yummy, maybe one day I'll have the time to sit down and experience their culinary skills.

I only went here for beers and although they don't have a massive selection there were pretty decent choices. However, this place has an absolutely delicious sounding menu, and a decent chef poached from Trinity in Clapham. I was salivating looking at the menu and am definitely going back to eat.

Please improve the menu! It's a nice place, the staff are friendly and it's fairly priced but...the brunch options are so limited and lacking imagination. It is the only reason that the place across the road has a queue to get in and the OP you can just walk in. I can pretty much make all those things at home - pancakes, breakfast butties, omelettes, eggs on toast and granola. Not exactly pushing the boundaries...

Excellent new local in Earlsfield - has a slight ‘New York’ feel to it - friendly and welcoming staff. We came for brunch, really tasty food, Bloody Mary and coffee were great, and they are also dog friendly! Perhaps a more extensive brunch menu would be better at weekends, otherwise can’t fault them. They have a nice heated and covered outdoor area too. Will be back for lunch soon I’m sure.

Had a family meal here for a birthday and the food was absolutely delicious, very high quality ingredients and felt like a very special meal. Outdoor space is covered and also has heaters so was great for a rainy day. Highly recommend.

The restaurant is located directly on the Thames and has a circular floor to ceiling glass layout. The ground floor is essentially a coffee shop that serves meals and the first floor is a restaurant.
