Reviews
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.
The atmosphere in downtown Washington, MO is great and makes it a perfect place for a relaxed weekend brunch. The service was friendly and the whole experience was top notch.
Their lunch menu looked amazing as well, so we’ll definitely be coming back to try it soon. If you’re looking for a great brunch, breakfast, or lunch spot in Washington, Missouri, Oak & Front Kitchen and Bar is absolutely worth visiting.
We’ve been here several times and it’s always a great experience. We highly recommend Oak & Front!
We started with the olive and mussel appetizers—both bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The cocktails were a highlight all on their own: The Pear Necessities, Old Fashioned, Weesky, and Meximule were perfectly balanced and crafted with care.
The evening was made even better by lively, welcoming conversation with some of the regulars. Between the great service, breathtaking views, and top-tier drinks, it was an evening to remember.
