Ummmm, don't come here for the food. The view is unbeatable and it is always nice to sit outside on a Mountain top and dine overlooking a lake. But at least the food could be enjoyable. The chips where out of a bag, a cheap one at that. The dips were like what I buy at walmart. Everything was bland, and just cheap supermarket fare. I didn't try a margarita but I hear they are good, so go for a drink on the deck and that's it. I think the prices are expensive for food you can't even eat.

Overlooking Lake Travis this outdoor restaurant and bar complex has the most amazing views over the lake. For a change smokers have the seats with the better views. Come before dusk in order not to miss a real amazing sunset. Don’t forget their Margaritas: They’re some of the best in town. This place is highly recommended and not to be missed.

My fish tacos weren't bad and the guacamole was pretty good. Steak and Chicken fajitas were very bland. Leave a Comment

 Garden at the Oasis by leeludalas
The Salmon with artichokes and mushrooms- also came with steamed vegetables. Very good!
As well, the seafood martini is good- shrimp and avocado in vermouth and tomato juice, kinda like a bloody mary/ceviche. Leave a Comment

The Oasis is really a getaway from Austin. While located in the city limits it is about a 20 minute drive from the downtown area. It is worth the drive though as it does have beautiful panoramic views of Lake Travis and really cool sunsets. It bills itself as "Sunset Capitol of Texas" and it really is. There are no better sunsets in Texas as views to the west are usually dreary affairs here. I have been coming here since the 80s and I have had a few drunken sunsets. Lightning struck the place in 2005 and it burned down. They have re-built and it is better than ever.
The shrimp tacos are Baja-licious!

It is at Lake Travis and you WILL get lost if you don't have up to date directions. The road out in that area are being rebuilt and there are new toll roads all the time. Any info I put here may be OOD by next month.Website: www.oasis-austin.com

I am very convinced that people are here mainly for the view. It over looks Lake Travis. I managed to catch the sunset and couldn't pay much attention to the menu at first. I had a Margarita and my husband ordered Enchiladas. It started to drizzle after the sun has set (just in time) and we moved from the deck to the indoors. We didn't get any chips till much later and the waitress looked frazzled but she was apologetic and sweet about it so that is cool. Enchiladas and Margarita came about 25 minutes later and I was immediately turned off by how it was served - on a styrofoam plate and I tought it could use a little art direction. I had my second visit not because I dig the food. Had a gathering with some friends and had chicken & beef fajitas. Shared it with my husband. Nope, didn't do it for me either. It was dry and bland. The margarita tasted like it was pre-made. Sigh.
A few of my friends who've been here agreed that the food at The Oasis is quite awful.
The pricing is above average. Pricey, more so because the food isn't tasty. But it's like paying the extra for the view.
I love love the view, but I won't go there for the food.
Enchiladas: $12.95
Chicken & Beef Combo (Double) Fajita: $29.95
Margarita: $6.25 Leave a Comment
