YUCK!

by jannieb

We drove out for brunch today. They list a Hatch Chiles omelet> I have never seen a smaller ombet. Could it have been a 1 egg omlet? Also, where were the hatch chiles? It was easy to try and find them with such a small omelet. We found 1 very small, piit would of diced hatch, we think. That one little peice could have fit on top of a pencil eraser.

I have what they called huge breakfast tacos. When finally came out, it was 2 small flour tortillas, small spoonful of egg and some unmelted shreded cheese. WHAT A JOKE! I hve never had anything so tasteless.

I know this is a tourist trap, but you would think they could at least have mediocre food so locals would come out ocassionally. I will never recommend this restaurant, but will definitely people to stay away!

• Pros: see how low the lake is
• Cons: terrible food - it doesnt deserve one star, needs -*

Total waste of time and money

by peppermint81

Other than the view there is nothing to be had here. Its like you pay for the view and that's it! So we paid $32 for 2 people to sit for 1 1/2 hr waiting for our bland cold food to see a setting sun.

Yeah that sums up our trip to Oasis.

• Pros: View
• Cons: Bad, food, service

Go for the sunset!!!!

by glamgirl6

The Osis is the place you want to be if you are looking for a magnificent sunset! At sunset the bell rings and the crowd cheers. It is a very unique and impressive atmoshere on lake travis! Overlooking the lake and the many boaters, great for kids too! Drinks are good food ok, but worth every bit of the travel to lake travis. If you go no where else go here!

• Pros: Awesome Sunset, Great Ambience!
• Cons: OK Food

Oasis does not care

by TexCat97

Never even made it out there. I tried to reserve a space to propose to my girlfriend and the hostess told me that they wouldn't even consider it. Said if I wanted a spot I should arrive extra early. Really put off by this, after reading the reveiws about the food I am looking for a new spot. Too bad, the sunset would have been ideal, but they don't own it.

Oasis

by mbsoccer3027

been to the oasis 3 times every experience was worst than the last. After the 3rd time ill never go back to the oasis. Fajitas were horrible got the fajitas for 2 with only 4 tortillas. Waitress never came around. The view is amazing but it does not make up for the terrible service and mediocre food.

you pay for location/view

by aretizzle

This place is incredible when walking in. The view is AMAZING. Overlooks lake Travis from atop a 400-something foot cliff.

BUT the food is less than great. I would only recommend this place if you want to have drinks or maybe an appetizer; chips and dip. The fajitas were probably the worst I've ever had. But i would still go back just for the view. It's quite sad how their effort ends at advertising and atmosphere:(

• Pros: VIEW

Perfect Wedding Venue

by Zanalou

Two months before our scheduled cruise ship wedding we had to change our plans because of Hurricane Ike. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon The Oasis and even more fortunate to discover they had one room left on my date! Jill Moore and Scott Tell were amazing. Jill was very patient with the many changes I made to everything. She was helpful in offering suggestions from the best place for the sweetheart table to tips on how to save money on linens. And then there is Scott - our actual day-of coordinator. Scott made my vision come to life. Everything was perfect. He was always right there when we needed him. He even escorted us to a perfect out of the way spot to take pictures with the full moon in the background. The entire staff was friendly and helpful and always there when needed but never obtrusive. And the food was incredible as well - we had many guests that had expressed dismay in the reputation of the cuisine but I can assure you the food was delicious! Everyone was impressed that we had such an elegant and expensive seeming wedding - but everything was very affordable (for a wedding). The only regret we had? That we hadn't planned a longer reception! Everyone was having so much fun it was hard to leave when the time came.

• Pros: Attentive staff, gorgeous views, fabulous food, perfect wedding/party venue
• Cons: None

Not for me - Never again

by tob1935

Outrageous prices for mediocre food. A baked potato is not available for a $25 steak. You want fries with that?

My party of 12 (or any other size) won't be eating there again.

• Pros: View
• Cons: Prices, Food

Ruined my birthday party!

by aerobicsgirl

The view is beautiful but that is where it ends. A group of friends met me there to celebrate my birthday. The waiter was completely rude and inattentive. Plus he forgot to submit my order so I didn't get dinner. When we asked him to remedy the situation he acted like he was doing us a favor by even waiting on us badly. We had 7 people in our party and it seemed like he didn't care because gratuity was included already. The manager didn't do anything when we complained. My friends shared what they ordered with me. The food was not good or near worth the price. I will never go back there again!

• Pros: the view
• Cons: food, bad service
