After many years I came back here to show my family the spectacular views. The drinks, service and views were the best this about this place which is why I gave them a 4 star. Unfortunately I feel like they only do the minimum when it comes to their food because they can get away with it because of their view and location. Food is definitely lacking in flavor, the only thing I liked was the queso and some of my fajitas but they definitely need to upgrade. They have added vendors inside and they had plenty of room to sit at, inside and out.

The views and restaurant are spectacular!! It definitely was worth checking out. There are several small gift shops in this area. Our waitress was friendly and handled our large party well. I ordered the Chicken club and the bread was amazing. I wasn't feeling the chicken and pulled it off the sandwich. Which was much better. I wish there was a BLT or wrap option on the menu. If we had more time I would have liked to do a kayak ride on the lake.

I had not been to the Oasis in many years and was surprised how much it had changed. The buildings are nice, and the place is big. It was also busy, but we had no problem finding a place to park. We came early on a Saturday afternoon. We had lunch in Austin earlier and came just for cocktails and to check the place out for a future group get-together, so I can't comment on the food. There was a line for the restaurant, but we saw a banner for the Oasis Brewery and went upstairs. When we got to the next level, there was a sign on the door that it was closed for a private event. We then went up to the top level and found an outdoor deck area with picnic style tables and an indoor area with normal table seating. There was a live band inside. There was a cocktail bar in the outdoor area, but no one was there. We walked around looking at the views and then found a seat at one of the outdoor tables, despite it being crowded. I went inside and waited in line at what turned out to be brewery. I got to the ordering station and asked about cocktails. The bartender was unaware that the lower level was closed and had to go talk with a coworker. I then asked about the adjacent cocktail bar and he said it was closed (This was during the heat of the day on a Saturday afternoon.) I went back to our table and we sat for about five minutes when I saw someone go behind the bar and open it up. I got a couple of drinks that were good. The bartender was neither rude, nor friendly, just business. The view is fantastic! The drinks were good. The service side seemed unorganized and maybe a little spotty. I'll probably bring a group back soon, but with the expectation that the great view will be tempered by so-so service, lines, slow pace, and a crowd.

If you want a really nice view this is the place to eat. The food is decently good. The service is not worth what you pay. Nice people. Just very preoccupied. I would highly recommend the nachos! Great place for photos.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
