Can't tell you about the food. Waited more than 2 hours for a table then left in frustration. Saw a nice sunset on the way to our car in the crowded parking lot. Maybe hundreds more behind us also waiting for a table, but maybe not caring. Definitely a place for young folks with nothing to do but drink, make noise, and wait for the sunset and a table . . . read more

Beautiful view, awesome food. We went there on a friday eve, the busboy was terrible but manager came over and was super friendly and made our experience worth it all. We were all so happy with the food... the live music on the third dinning floor was phenomenal. We all had a blast!!! read more

Let me just get this out of the way... the Oasis has spectacular views of (what's left of) Lake Travis. That's why the two stars. Now, on to the meat of the review. I've eaten here numerous times. I've never been wowed. Not once. Nope. But, yesterday was pretty gloomy on several accounts. The first was our highly tattooed waitress, Heather, who seemed more interested in hiding from guests than serving them. I guess service just isn't her bag. My mom and I wanted to split a dinner between us, but upon asking if they could put it on two separate plates, we were told "No, the kitchen can't do that." Note that it was a slow period and there weren't all that many guests at the restaurant. But, whatever. We ordered the shrimp tacos which comes with rice, beans, and guacamole. You'd think that was a large platter of food, right? What we got were two tacos, one spoonful of rice, one dollop of guac, and a tiny bowl of black beans. It was hard to even find enough to split... but we managed. Too bad we didn't have a magnifying glass. Anywho, one bite into the shrimp taco told me something was wrong. What do they use on that? Habanero sauce??? The heat rating (for me, and I hate spicy food anyway) was off the charts. I couldn't eat the taco. Had a little bit of rice, and a little of the black beans. That was lunch. I could see rain was on the way, so we looked and looked in vain for Heather. Nowhere to be found. I tried hailing a table cleaner guy... to give him my card, but he said, "No, we can't do that." They obviously can't do a lot at the Oasis. Finally, Heather shows up (and there was another table trying to find her as well)... when the rain began to pour. I mean deluge - not just pour. My mom and I had to find a canopy to hide under - wondering if we'd ever see my card or Heather again. After getting drenched and waiting at least ten minutes, our check got to us. Needless to say, the tip was minimal. But what really burns me is that the Oasis looks all so new and slick and polish with the recent remodel... it seems to offer up that it is a better quality restaurant than it really is. It lies. Just watch the sunset and drink a margarita... you'll be better for it. read more

Took reservation for large group, then told us we had an hour wait. Food is AWEFUL! Service worse than the food. Had to get up and find a server multiple times for more water, tea, beer. Steer VERY clear of the place unless you want to lose 4 hours of you're life you can never get back. It was soooo bad. read more

There is a sign in the bathroom that simply states our entire trip to oasis.... "All positions Available, now hiring". That about sums it up! What they need to do is close down the restaurant fire everyone and teach that customer service among anything is the most important! We had a group of 12 of my family members out and we had our food order taken and never once laid eyes on the waitress afterward. At the bottom of our receipt stated an 18% gratuity on parties over 7. Now we know why we never seen her again. I brought this up to management and he was accommodating by asking if he wanted us to take the gratuity off.... It was stated its a fail safe because this is a tourist destination and that Europeans don't tip. We'll to gain my business by disrespecting others is not the way to exemplary customer service accolades! FYI if you go here expect to wait for service that is way below par, customer service that is outmatched by McDonalds, and rancid patio waiters and waitresses that have sweat stains from days past! This is not a must see or an aspiring location. I implore you to contact me if you would like to touch base or if you are the owner reviewing this I look forward to your phone call. I can be reached at (803)316-3663. The only reason it received one star is due to the perched observation patios overlooking the gorgeous view. Other then that it would fail to acquire anything. TIP- cannot base anything off a view, the service must compliment! read more

Oasis Texas - No description needed. They have to rest add to regain notoriety! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is an absolute dive. Its dirty, under staffed, unorganized and they provide cheap Sam's Club frozen food. Three children meals of cheese pizza was Sams Club frozen individuals. Our fajita meat was also Sam's club with minimal flavor. They served our salsa for chips in throw away plastic containers (similar to tuperware). We were sat in a dark corner with literally no lightimg. Seriosly, mot even a fixture. Everyone at the table was using their cell phones to read the menu. The food was alright, certainly not worth anything close to the $35/person it endedbup costing. One could seriously just keep going, but you probably have the point. I get it, a beautiful sunset view from this location. So many people come here dressed for a 4 star facility, and its lucky to not have the health and fire depts shut them down. Total thumbs downer frim this guy. read more

We came again and I have to say, the menu is limited and the food kind of sucks. The outdoor view is great but it's either freezing or too hot... Obviously they don't have much control over this but the whole umbrella thing is a huge hassle. They should have built pergola's that are shady all of the time. Asking the waiter to change them and manipulate them is quite annoying... But not as annoying as our waiter bringing back our change minus the actual coins. Seems he pocketed the change and only brought back $5 for each of us when we were due about $5.98... We asked him about this and also asked for single bills and he says "I don't have change, you'll have to walk to the bar for exact change" WTF???! In what establishment do they only bring what's available back for your refund? This was such a joke. My sister ended up talking to management on the way out... And hopefully they dealt with it immediately. Had he not stolen from us, we were going to give him a $14 tip on a $50 tab... But he chose to do the wrong thing and only got $7. He's lucky still. Plenty of kids would love to work here. Do the right thing kiddo. read more

I have lived here for 6 years and have avoided this place, because I have heard the food and service are terrible, and that would drive me insane. I finally went on Sunday , and I was very pleasantly surprised. We waited awhile for a server, but I flagged down Nick, and he was fantastic, he apologized for the wait and took our drink and food orders right away. The food came out quickly and he was on top of making sure the table was pre bussed and drinks refilled- he was really great! Our food was really good, the pecan chicken salad is delicious, and the views were killer. I am kicking myself for not visiting sooner! read more

I came here for my graduation dinner. I called several weeks early to be informed that they don't do "reservations". Instead, they do a useless call-ahead system. We arrived and could not find any parking in the parking lots or garage, and after 15 minutes of searching finally opted to "create" our own spot on a median. We were then told that despite our call-ahead, we had to wait in a long roped line directed by a woman outside. It took 30 minutes in this line just to reach the hostess. The hostess told us our call-ahead was basically useless and that it would be a 2 hour wait to be seated for dinner. At that point, we talked about finding somewhere else to go. However, since we had so many out-of-town guests it would be difficult to direct them all to a new location so we decided to wait. Some guests went to the 3rd floor upstairs for drinks and to listen to the Eggmen play. When we were finally seated (thankfully only 30 minutes after speaking with the hostess, instead of 2 hours...) we had a wonderful view of the lake just as the sun was setting. It was beautiful. That sunset is the Oasis's ONLY redeeming quality. Views are great, and atmosphere is great. Sadly, service was terrible. Our waiter left our glasses more than empty... I had to flag him down just to be able to get a margarita. He also brought us someone else's appetizer (which thankfully my Dad agreed to pay for because it looked good), and then he disappeared again. When we flagged him down a second time, he took our orders. It not only took an hour after we ordered to get our food, but the food was very bland and not nearly as impressive as the descriptions. My dad's grilled chicken came out tougher than leather and my dad was unable to cut it, even with a steak knife. It had to be sent back. Everyone else's dishes were disappointing, particularly for the high price. For our large party, the bill came out to $450. Our waiter is lucky gratuity is automatically included for large parties, otherwise he would have had to actually be attentive for his earnings. Overall, I was disappointed in both the organization, call-ahead system, parking, service, and food. I don't think I will ever return here for food. I could maybe give this place another shot for happy-hour, but I was kind of embarrassed to be bringing my guests here for a graduation dinner. read more

Elevator in parking garage has been broken for too weeks with no signage on it. This place clearly hates the handicap and parents with strollers. Thanks Oasis. read more

What a horrible place. Sticky tables, overpriced watered down drinks, slow and unenthusiastic service. The view gets a star, but for the rest, go elsewhere. read more

My review aligns with many of the others that i have read about this place. My wife and I are newer to Austin and we have been up here a few times solely because of the gorgeous views you get. That is really where the appeal of this place ends. The SERVICE IS TERRIBLE from the moment you walk in to interact with the extremely indifferent hostesses until the minute you leave your table after spending way too much on an overcooked burger with terrible service. Our latest encounter here, and likely one of our last, involved the waiter telling us we couldn't make any substitutions for anything at all. It was what it was basically and he claimed the kitchen made this abundantly clear that morning before they opened for business because they "don't want to create long ticket times". Let me add that there were about 5 total people there at this time. The food takes forever and a day to come out so luckily you have the view to keep you occupied and that helps not to dwell as much on the horrible customer service this place has. If you're looking for scenery and maybe a beer or two then come here and go to the bar specifically but do NOT come here if you want to sit down and have a meal. It has been a disaster every single time for us. Get it together, OASIS! I hope you're able to stay in business with this kind of crap. read more

Nature is awesome. It's really good place for taking picture also musics are good. I like Oasis

i'd give zero stars if that were an option. the food and service was horrible. the only thing this place has going for it is the view. we had to send back an order that was cold three times before it was sent back to us hot. another order was just not what we ordered. the server was rude and pretty much acted put out the entire time. the chef and management staff needs to be replaced to make this place what the view promises. read more

I was visiting the Austin area, friends took me here although the location over looking the lake is beautiful. The waiter we had was unfriendly and seemed as if he was not happy to be there. He messed up our orders and never checked on us till after it was time to go. He gave us plates the top one was clean but underneath every other plate had ketchup or sauce on them so they were used.. Thats so gross! The food could use some revamping because it was mediocre. Best thing of it would be the view and the Guac dip was good. read more

Meh. It was loud a.d. busy, the service was slow and the food average. My shrimp came out grey and tasted like fuel. My side was wrong (fixed after I was done), and the veggies were raw (especially the onions). The view was nice but not worth the price. read more

This place has to be one of the worst rip offs in Texas go for the view, but do NOT eat the food. The costs are high, but combined with the plastic chairs and plastic baskets that the food is served in, makes it hard to swallow on any budget. Avoid at all costs! read more

Worst. Drinks. Ever. Margaritas are just water, that's it. Order overpriced garbage beer and enjoy the view.

Nine years working for the food service industry and I have never seen such bad food. My shrimp was cold, flavorless, and the fried part was bad as well. The service was horrible as well. We had a table of eleven people and still was hard to get an ones help. The chips we got in the beginning where OK at best. The only thing good was the sunset but I'm from Florida where we have a better sunset so that to me was boring. I was not the only person to complain at my table about the food either. We didn't say anything or ask for a manager simply because it would have taken another thirty mins to get our food replaced. I would rather eat at McDonalds then eat here again. All other one star reviews are accurate too. read more

Well let's start with the wait they say an hour we waited an hour and 45 minutes we walked up and said that we could of had a table already buzzer never went off then we finally get seated order wait another hour and 45 and we gave up we walked out they said the kitchen was behind I'm sorry this place is huge and nice hire new people or more people will never come back ever read more

The view. That's all I Can say. The wait staff and food runners were so rude. I used to work as a server, I get it. The job sucks. But, at least try a little. I know I did and my rent depended on it. Go for the view. Thays about it. read more

The restaurant was beautiful. The food was exquisite however I found our server, Brad, to be one of the worst human beings on this planet. If I owned this establishment I would take brads apron away and fire him immediately. His service appalled me. His overall demeanor appalled me. He is a disgusting human and made me feel uncomfortable. Besides Brad, I had a lovely experience ^_^ read more

If I could give the food a zero I would. We ordered the chicken sliders. The chicken was tasteless. The bread was so hard and stale it would have been better suited to feed chickens. Nice view but avoid the food. Also, drinks are weak and expensive. read more

Thought I would give the Oasis another chance yesterday. And yes, the food/drinks/service still sucks. Nice view though. read more

Spectacular view, mediocre food, very nice staff.

The scenery is spectacular, food is average or below, ordered combo fajita plate, comes in a iron plate, but no hot, unknown why, the price in the menu was 14.95, and when I received my bill they charged 21.95, the waiter indicated that he charged the dinner price in error, but when the bill came back, it had been lowered to $17.95, and the excuse was that they charged more for shrimp, the menu did not indicated such. I went ahead & paid the 18.95, did no wanted to waste time arguing. :( read more

I had a margarita on the patio and it was great! View is amazing, margarita was delicious!

To me, this place defines Meh. No doubt, the view is amazing, but that is where my enjoyment stops. I have never found 'thee' things to get on the menu. Everything I have tried is just meh -- nothing has stood out to me. As far as value goes, it just poor... the food would be OK at 1/2 the price. Overall, come for the view -- its definitely amazing -- and expect to be disappointed by the food and the bill. read more

They need to add a better Tequila selection!! This is Texas!! And nobody likes Cazadores or Corzo.. The view looks nice though with the water back up. Just had apps read more

Views are great, that's why everyone comes here I suppose... food is just ok. Service was hurried and a bit scattered and confused. Our waitress seemed to be on the verge of a meltdown, but did get most of our requests correct. There seems to be multiple places to eat here, so it may be worth to check out all of the options as far as wait time before you pick one. read more

Guacamole was very good, actually. Chicken balls were pretty good. The big bummer was the pre-mixed margaritas. I tasted zero alcohol. Fun on Sunday night when the salsa band plays at 7pm. They have a great sound and they pack the dance floor. Just be sure to arrive at 5pm when then place opens to get a table. Great view. read more

It's been a while since I've been here. As always everything was great, good, service, Jessica was awesome, great attitude and service. The shrimp tacos were delicious, I will come more often. read more

The food at this restaurant isn't the best but the view and location are worth the visit! We went on a sunday night and they have free salsa dancing! read more

The view and the drinks are really good but the food is mediocre at best. You are definitely paying for the view. Had a great time on the 3rd floor listening to Check 1. If however you want good food...this is not the place. read more

The food is okay and the drinks aren't impressive. I still haven't had 1 decent mojito in all of Austin, but I'll save that rant for another day. I came here for the views and Oasis delivered. We stopped by last night and enjoyed listening to "The Brew" perform salsa, cumbia and merengue on the 3rd tier. Luckily, we were able to find a table (it's self-seating) and didn't have to wait 45-60 minutes as we were told on the ground level. I will come back to Oasis every chance I get. read more

The Oasis is a beautiful center with allot of potential, but they need to get rid of their leasing agent and this restaurant. The food is overpriced, the wait times are ridiculous for the amount of space that is available and it remains empty which tells me that they are understaffed. The group of 5 hostesses sat behind the entry desk with daft looks on their faces every time someone came in to ask of their tables were ready. The food is disgusting. You can taste the poor quality & uncleanliness of the food surfaces. The sodas have a metallic aftertaste and the bar smells filthy. I had on an occasion eaten here with my husband & kids after a realtor recommend it, but it's a tourist trap and a disgusting one at that. Not only that, but I walked out with a very bad Gluten reaction which had me miserable and recovering for days after a few bites of salad. The second time I came here with an out of town friend and just wanted to show her the view, which is the centers saving grace along with the eclectic statues placed askew in the front like a long overdue estate sale. We ended up at the bar on the third floor which the Oasis restaurant vehemently denied was even there when I had politely asked if any cleanlier establishments were available nearby. I was able to take 4 of their customers out the door with me after they'd witnessed the terrible treatment my kids & I were given. The bar upstairs served simple selections, but the quality was a million times better & a fraction of the cost. read more

Aweful service and food. The server Lastain was the worst and rudest to our group of 15. We will never come back here. I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The food is not crazy good, but it's just fine, and the view here is spectacular. The space itself is also fun- kitschy, but fun. Servers are super nice, etc. Worth going here for a fun time and a great view. read more

4 stars for the view. -1 star because Food was not that good. Atmosphere is nice! pretty patio area that is clean. The view of the lake is so pretty that you can possibly ignore the icky food. I would love if they re-did the menu. The drinks are great. Might come back just because it's so pretty read more

Had a very similar experience. Food is ok, service is barely there, but the view is amazing!! Tables all around us uncleared when we got here and now there are just more of them uncleared as we are leaving read more
