A sprawling Tex-Mex restaurant rising some 450 feet above Lake Travis, and offering expansive views of the gay beach at Hippie Hollow, the Oasis Restaurant is renowned for its extensive terraces and amazing views, not to mention filling if somewhat ordinary Mexican fare and very strong drinks.

This festive Tex-Mex restaurant with a gadzillion terraces and decks overlooking the lake burned almost entirely to the ground (it was struck by lightening) a few years ago, but it's been impressively rebuilt with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. The food's eh - decently prepared standbys like smoked-chicken enchiladas and guac-and-chips). It's a fun place for cocktails and brunch or a sunset dinner, before or after a visit to Hippie Hollow. The owners have even bigger plans for expansion underway, having opened a full outdoor retail and entertainment village. There's plenty of seating, although on weekends it can be challenging to get a table with a lake view.
