The Oasis restaraunt bills itself as the largest restaraunt in Texas and it is almost always hard to get a seat, especially around sunset. You don’t drive this far out of the way for average food and drink–people go to the Oasis for the spectacular view of Lake Travis from its many decks. The Oasis bills itself as “The Sunset Capital of Texas” and it does offer a spectacular view of the sunset across the lake. Beau Theriot, who opened the Brownstone Restaraunt in Houston and has worked as an interior decorator, has done quite a bit of work on the grounds and the interior space. The view off the deck and the breeze off the lake make it a worthwhile stop.
