The drinks are cold, and there's lots of room. It's a great combination—jaw-dropping sunsets and the jaw-dropping size of this joint. Get there early—the sun drops fast. Read more

The food is ok, margarita was good, the view is amazing but the Pokemon is ????lit????!!! The mermaid poke spot draws a lot of pokemon. Drop a lure, get some drinks and enjoy the view and Pokemons.

Dario Sepulveda

A must-visit place when visiting Lake Travis! It's a huge complex of different eating and drinking areas. The atmosphere here is outstandingly chill and tropical. Try the alien space ship!

Divya Mulanjur

Beautiful view and good margaritas . Come here on a lazy weekend after brunch to relax. Food isn't great. The burger is decent. But the view is worth the trip. Best is to get here via lime creek road .

Allie Wilker

The chicken fajitas are so yummy! Their queso and salsa are one of my favorites ever and their triple chocolate torte is the absolute best gluten free dessert i have ever had! #glutenfree #dessert

Jacobo Gómez

Beautiful place only a short drive from Austin. Come here to see the sunset

Rodger Dodger

This place is amazing. Only stopped there on recommendation of bellman as we were leaving a weekend at Lake Travis. It was amazing. Food was really good!!

Hollis Tibbetts

Great place to bring folks from out of town or for the view . I live nearby and can't imagine going there because of "the good drinks and the great food" - cuz neither the drinks nor the food are good

Colin Nelson

Best scenic views of the lake in Austin! Great margarita's ! And solid craft brew selection ! Don't forget to visit the gift shop !

Cesar Alberto

Very nice view , great for afternoons... But... The service is very slow, their food is not the greatest one, servers are very busy all the time... I had to stand up 3 times to look for the waiter

Brendan Davis

Watching the subset awesome , menu not great only one steak on the menu rest of it resembles a fast food place saying that service was 100% views awesome had a good night there price was reasonable

Aashima Ratti

Incredible day on the lake . Don’t splurge for the boat with the slide — your boat will link up to theirs anyway and you can just jump over and use it for free!

Christian Torres

This place is very beautiful and relax and the veiw is gourgeous.... I recommend if you decide to come to Austin Texas stop by come to this place you going to love it

Seth Vong

Spectacular views of Lake Travis and surrounding areas! Enjoy this hill country gem.

Jackie Easthom

Beautiful sunset ! Get the Shrimp Diablo .... to die for! Got mine with sweet potato fries .

Mitch

I had my wedding here in 2008. The restaurant is still really good. Margaritas are still good too.

Curt R.

Ideal spot to take visitors. Killer view and drinks. The food has improved over the years but is still a little pricey . Well deserved rep as a must-be place at sunset .

John-Paul Rojas

The Perfect Margarita and the Margarita Cheesecake were great. The food was like eating at an amusement park , passable if you didn't go for the food. The view is the reason to go.

Joe Breal

Great place to hang out and relax. Even with a lot of people around just sitting there looking over out of the lake is serene.

Roberto Bruder Aguiar

What is this place. Really an Oasis in Texas! Come outside and enjoy the view . The food is secondary.

Jennifer Ruiz

Gorgeous spot to watch the sunset with a margarita in hand! But get there at least an hour or two early - it gets VERY busy

Andy A.

Only the view is good here. It could be an amazing place to go eat at any time, romantic dinner , with friends, family, but unfortunately the kitchen is very disappointing. Like theme park food. Plane .

Daniel Cavazos

The lake view is awesome. Always crowded . If waiting for a table, you get a text msg when ready, it doesnt work for international users, so expect more waiting.

Bridget Webb

Chicken enchiladas on point! So yummy! Views are amazing (huge spider on chair was scary) I would go again! ????

Rossy Benavidez

Food isn't great but the view is Amazing!!

Riley L

Man is this place cynical and barely-servicable and MAN is this place beautiful. You gotta go at least once with your friends to be like "I know, right?"

Booker Fajardo

This place is awesome, lake infront of you & boats running back and fort

Elizabeth Hall

Best views of Lake Travis at sunset capital with Awesome food and atmosphere! You will keep coming back for more!

Kyle McKenzie

Great views . Wish I could say more about the service. Don't get a table on the extreme end of either side or your waiter will probably forget about you.

Vonia

Call ahead to see if there are sunset view seats available. No reservations , but good to know before going out there.

Kevin Suttle

This place is great for sunsets and beautiful views . The food is ok, so you probably don't want to make the trip just for that.

Paul Tran

Order the Combo Fajitas for 1 person; trust me, it can fill up two people perfectly fine in terms of a regular-sized meal.

Carl Votti

Come for the view , not necessarily for the food. The menu hasn’t really changed in years and that’s a good thing, but not great either. The service is somewhat lacking too. Can be EXTREMELY crowded .

SoundCloud

Pros: the views are terrific, the sunsets are to die for, the appetizers are good! Cons: a bit expensive Overall: worth it for the view

Sarah Hibbard

Classic Tex Mex , with a view ! Be sure you have a ride home if you plan on indulging in the Oasis' drink menu.

Manuel Zapata

First time back since the Fire and was surprised!! Very cool and the food and drinks were Great!! Service was the best! Good Times!!

Roger Willis

Way more touristy than I expected. So many bees. Nice place anyway. The bees were super polite and got drunk on my beer .

G Womack

Great view of the lake ! Beautiful!

RexAnn Shotwell

This is amazing. On a perfect day, with a perfect group of friends this is all you need. Go when its still hot and sunny for the atmosphere then stay until sunset for the experience.

Dianey Sandoval

Great Restaurant ... The menú is simple and basic. Sit outside the view is great!!

GourmetLive

Julie Claire Morrison of Confessions of a Napper says, “The Oasis has the best view in town . Situated on the shores of Lake Travis, the patio becomes drenched in the sunset each day.”

Shoshanna Mathews

The drinks we got were good. Believe it or not the bean & cheese nachos were really really good.

Corey

If you are lucky enough to come on a clear day, the sunset will blow your mind. Best thing about Austin!

ᴡ Meza

This is amurrica! Please avoid all food and just drink the margaritas with a Chambord floater (ok and maybe the free chips and salsa )

Kristen McClendon

View - great. Drinks - great. Food - absolute shit. I'd be willing to bet most of it is pre-made and reheated. Everything I ordered I can make better at home.

Lilly Calandrello

One of my ABSOLUTE favorite places to go especially in the summer. SPECTACULAR sunsets , outdoor dining on several different levels overlooking Lake Travis. Great food + cold Corona & Shiner Bock . Read more

Krista C

Wine Weds = 1/2 off all bottles and glasses! The bad news: wine list blows. Oh well , $15 bottle of Lamarca is better than $30 bottle of Lamarca.

Gabrielle Lindgren

Food is mediocre, but it's all worth it for the amazing view !

Rochelle Yousefian

Big portions of food. Beautiful scenery and sunset view . Multi level outdoor seating .
