Editorial Review for The Oasis – by Nathan Stull
In Short
Hundreds can fit on this restaurant's tiered deck, which descends down the side of a 450-foot cliff above Lake Travis. Fervent sightseers can use the mounted telescopes to get close-ups of Mansfield Dam and Hippie Hollow. The Oasis has a broad range of food, including Tex-Mex favorites like grilled chicken enchiladas and crawfish etoufee enchiladas. Downstairs, the Longhorn Bar and the Starlight Terrace offer drinks, appetizers and in the Starlight, occasional buffets.

I think I need to stop checking the reviews on citysearch - as I'm afraid I'd never try anything since almost all the reviews are negative. Same thing here - I wasn't sure what we were getting into going to The Oasis on a weekend for a nice lunch. We were pleasantly surprised that we walked right in, got a nice table w/ a decent view and our server was nice. The food isn't gourmet by any means, but that's okay - it was good. I just wouldn't plan on going here for an "occasion" or a holiday as I'm sure it is totally packed. Overall, we had a nice time and even the kiddos behaved for a change.
