The food is fantastic! So too, the mixed drinks, the relaxed vibe and the wonderful view of the Missouri River!

Wow!!! I am a half Korean woman, Family South Korean. The Rueben With Sauerkraut and Kimchi, FANTASTIC!!! Really Great Wine selection at Oak & Front! In a beautiful postcard perfect town!!!! Also, kind, warm, good female daytime bartender, very informative and easy to talk to. read more

Service was mediocre, lots of items not available and what was available to order was mediocre as well. At the end of the meal felt rushed and meal and drinks came out on seperate bills. Beautiful location and loved the patio cat! read more

Oak and Front | Kitchen + Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, Missouri

We had another great early lunch at Oak & Front. It was a perfect 70 degrees or so and sunny with expansive views of the Missouri River from the top patio. The server was polite and prompt, as usual. The goddess chicken salad sandwich was honestly amazing. The chicken pieces were large and generous, and the sauce was so flavorful. The brioche bun was also quite good, with very green spinach. The side apple cabbage slaw was very fresh, but a little bland, and I feel it could have had a slightly more bold flavor (either more vinegar or spice, depending on the desired direction). We will continue to enjoy and appreciate this little slice of Washington. read more

Oak and Front | Kitchen + Bar - Goddess chicken sandwich with cabbage slaw - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, Missouri

I love this place, but be forewarned, the service can be a little slow. That's okay, life should go slowly when enjoying wine and snacks while gazing at the river. The ambiance is everything here. The patio is lovely and very comfortable. The inside is beautiful as well, but when I'm in Washington, I want to look around. I love this sleepy town, the historic buildings and rolling hills. The drinks and wine here are outstanding. Servers are always kind and helpful with navigating the menus. Slow down and enjoy your surroundings!! read more

The Vibe: Elevated casual with a little bit of quirky artistic flair. The spacious second story patio offers scenic river views and has a mix of shade and sun. We had the very best riverview table- absolutely stunning, and the historically inspired mural on the adjacent building adds to the ambiance. We came for an early dinner anniversary date, and there were a few little kids there, but as the evening wore on, it became more of an adult crowd. I think you could feel comfortable wearing jeans here, but most men opted for chino shorts and polos or button down shorts, and there were several women in sundresses or nicer blouses and shorts. The Food: The hostess, who was likely the manager or owner, explained when seating is that the majority of the food is made in-house, and the rest they try to source locally, which is great. They have an incredibly extensive wine list, but we're craft beer snobs and luckily they had many offerings from local brewers, so opted for a few brews from 4 Hands. For our appetizer we went with the pimento cheese dip platter. The pimento cheese and the pickles were really good! It was supposed to come with naan, but it was more like blackened pita. For dinner my husband ordered the burrito special we saw on their social media because it looked epic in the pictures, but unfortunately what he got was an extremely dry burrito with no sauces, and some broken Krunchers type chips. Our server did bring queso and salsa verde when he complained. The queso was flavorless, but the sala verde was quite nice. He would've sent the dish back, but it had already taken so long to get out food that we were overdue to pick up our child. My entree, on the other hand, was extremely delicious! I got the seafood ravioli with chipotle cream sauce. It tasted handmade with love. The ravioli were tender and the filling lacked any off-putting fishiness I find so often in local seafood dishes. The chipotle cream sauce was very well-balanced- had just the right amount of spice. The accompanying salad with green goddess dressing and crisp leaves was a nice foil to the creamy pasta. The Service: We made online reservations weeks before we dined and requested a nice riverview table to celebrate our belated anniversary. We arrived a bit early, but the wonderful woman at the host stand, I assume she is probably the manager or owner, guided us to our reserved table at the very front of the patio, overlooking the river. It made us feel so special. She took her time explaining the history of Oak and Front, and how they made and sourced their food. She then went over their extensive wine and cocktail menu, and apologized that they didn't have much of a craft beer selection- but they actually do have plenty of local quality craft beer options in bottles and cans, so we clapped our hands! Our server was very friendly and very attentive at the beginning, but as the night wore on (we were there for nearly two and a half hours, as scratch food takes time), she was consumed by a large party and we struggled to get her attention for drink refills, etc. My husband ended up having to go into the bar to get another drink. She did apologize and explain that the large party was overwhelming. My husband and I are restaurant industry vets, so we understood. The Upshot: Overall we had a great time in a beautiful place, and although we don't live close, our family does and they're regulars, so we'll most likely be back again. read more

It was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. Sat out on the patio on this warm day in February had great service great food.. The drinks were fantastic. The pimento board is especially good and the soup of the day was when I've never had before cream of green bean and it was fabulous read more

I asked for a Long Island Iced Tea and was told they could make it. They brought out this thing that bore no resemblance to a Long Island. One taste, and the bourbon flavor was very dominant. We waited longer than we should have for a place that wasn't even at 25% capacity when we got there. The food did not impress us at all. We ate it because we ordered it. At the end I was handed a bill that was way too high. When I questioned it, they had failed to remove the hideous Long Island. The server was very friendly, and the atmosphere would have been nice except the country music going did not fit with the rest of the ambience. We paid the bill and tipped 20%, but I was extremely disappointed. This was not what I expected at all. read more

Food was far from good, actually it was awful. Not sure what happened to this place. Have been here several times but something has changed. Very disappointed. read more

Went on Saturday afternoon and sat outside. Very pleasant experience. Had the Goddess Chicken Sandwich. It's actually a chicken salad sandwich, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! It's served on a brioche bun with tomato jam and a green goddess dressing. It also comes with a side. Amazing! My husband had the Cuban, which he also very much enjoyed. We will definitely return next time we're in Washington, MO. read more

Gold stars ... everything was outstanding and our server Sam was a doll !!! And, Cheers to the small touches ... framed pictures that add a flash of quirky fun. read more

We love Oak & Front. Its so nice to have such a wide variety of great wines available in Washington. Their outdoor patio seating offers a good view of the river. Indoor dining is great too - especially in the bar area. We've been here at least 10 times in the last year, sometimes with a group of 8 or so, and we have always received great service here. Staff knowledgeable about the wine and spirits. Food is upscale casual and delicious. A great way to spend an afternoon or evening with family and/or friends. read more

We've made this a regular stopping point when we're in town. Their wine list and service are fantastic. We walked in 30 minutes until closing and our server pulled gelato for us, even though the kitchen was closed. Fantastic Bee's Knees read more

First, the good. The waitstaff was pleasant and attentive. The carbonara was just okay. The bad, the drinks we ordered were so late they came after the main dish was served. The risotto I had was tasteless and watery. A couple of small pieces of asparagus and not much else. I could better at home. Not recommended. read more

The prosciutto flatbread was unlike anything I've ever had before--and amazing. Next table got the margarita flatbread. Also saw a cheese board that was gorgeous. Tough to decide which to get! Beet salad was super yummy. My bf got a whiskey. He said the selection was really good. I loved my Cali rosé. We sat on the patio and watched the river roll by. Good band playing. Oh, and the cheesecake was to die for!!! Adding to our "favorite places" list. read more

I don't know why they have such low stars in reviews because I thought it was pretty good. With that being said I didn't get wine, I was feeling cocktails that day so I got my good ol old fashioned, which was fine. Got a huge charcuterie board to share, couple of flat breads and a sandwich. I would love to come back here again and try their wine as well. Small space but nice and cozy. They have patio outside and live music playing on Saturdays read more

We stopped in for a snack between lunch and dinner as the meat and cheese boards were highly recommended at our previous stopsWe ordered the pretzel board which is described as whole grain mustard cheese sauce, local meats and cheese. The pretzel was great. We did not receive any meat on the tray. The cheese was nice but only 8 pieces came on the board. The drinks are great. They offer many local options as well as global options. We try to drink local when we visit any location. Definitely worth a try. Staff was all friendly and attentive. read more

Enjoyed some excellent small dishes. The special spinach flatbread had a nice little kick of heat, and the the peach bruschetta was a lovely bite to commemorate the end of summer stone fruit. Very interesting range of featured cocktails - I chose Jazz Hands and couldn't have been happier. The server was just the right amount of attentive for our group. A very nice addition to the downtown experience. read more

We have been to Oak and Front several times with just 2 of us or with a group or 6 and 10. Every time the food has been delicious and well presented. We like to sit on the patio whenever we can but we also love sitting in the bar area or the dining room. Their wine flights feature great wines from around the world. Great place to hang out for a while. read more

I love the wine selection, whiskey selection, small bites, and ambiance. I love everything about this place.

Absolutely the BEST! This is our favorite place for great drinks, outstanding food, and fun, relaxing ambiance! We have been here several times and each time we have had an amazing experience. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, the bartender makes amazing drinks. We have had the pleasure of meeting the owners- good people! Can't say enough about how well they treat their customers. They have great live music as well. They are very accommodating for our large family gatherings, as well as a bachelorette party I recently hosted here. Whether it has been a large gathering or just my husband and I with a couple friends each time the service and experience has been wonderful. Just an overall fantastic place! We highly recommend!

Honestly. I really want to like this place and we have gone several times. Nice atmosphere, fresh menu options. But it's really hit or miss on the service, which can make or break the evening . Buy the bottle of wine because the pours are exceptionally small. Fingers crossed for improvement. read more

This place is a must in downtown Washington. The service is wonderful and the options are diverse. I always love coming here! And we can bring our dogs too! read more

This is such a fun place! Easy-going atmosphere and great service. Love the flights of wine, charcuterie boards, and cheesecake with amaretto cherries is my favorite. It's fantastic for both a girls night or date night. Highly recommend! read more

Horrible service. The bread pudding was very dry and the waitress was not familiar with the menu regarding drinks or food. Very disappointed in the service. read more

My friends and I went there for a quick drink and my friend didn't like the drink that was made for her, the waitress told me that she could get us a different drink if she was not happy. We ordered another drink and told the MANAGER that she didn't like it and HE MADE HER PAY FOR OWN DRINK AND THE OTHER DRINK THAT SHE GOT !!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND read more
