Lovely view of the river when we were seated outside. Ordered the flatbread pizza which was so good we both could split. And Sam, our waitress was on top of all of it! Thanks for a great dining experience.

Our first visit and hopefully we can visit again! We came to grab an iced coffee and a small bite. We love eating outside and there's such a nice view, facing the river. My mom had soup and I had the hummus board with peppers, carrots, radishes and Naan bread. Best hummus I've had! All was delicious! Jenny was our server, she was attentive, patient and helpful. One thing I noticed that you never see.... The outdoor area was clean! Very impressive. Even the menus were clean. You know the funk that can get on menus. We also liked the carafe of ice water they brought out when we sat down! Very nice and necessary on a hot day. Our iced coffees were good, but not anything special, sorry. But they don't get any bad points for that. I hope they keep up the good work and stick around! Next time we intend to actually eat a meal and try some of the delicious sounding desserts! So, I came back! Brought my son here, after school, and we had a flatbread pizza and the gooey butter cookie dessert (it's not just a cookie BTW). There aren't enough adjectives to describe how good both were! I've been dreaming about that dessert since. My son puts it on top of his list too. And of course you can't beat the river view and we had a great server again. Thanks guys!!

What a flawless way to kick off the weekend! The weather set the tone for an ideal night on the patio, and we were welcomed with warm hospitality and seated immediately. Our front-table view of the water? Absolutely stunning. 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. Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!

Such a sweet place. They let us sneak into the bar during their Valentine’s Day event and have a few cocktails. The drinks were perfect. Black Forest Martini is incredible.

Amazing cocktails. The staff is great. The food also did not disappoint. The Old Fashioned is one of the best I've ever had. Excellent place for cocktails. The ambiance is comfortable and calm. Great spot in Washington. We went there twice on a 3 day trip and will continue to stop in any time we're in town.

Oak & Front is quite a gem for Wash, Mo. We were immediately impressed with the atmosphere and how welcoming the staff was instantly. We sat at the bar and ordered the sweater weather wine flight, the oak board and we had chocolate and espresso martinis. The bartender was great and the fellow patrons were nice. All in all, I feel like if Oak & Front was in St Louis County, it would be packed all the time! Oh and the bathroom decor was quite entertaining!
