Oasis, R.I.P.

This is truly a sad day. The Oasis was never a great restaurant, and the bar was ok. But what it had in spades was a view. You'd take your margarita to any of the seats, tables, booths, or outdoor tables and watch the sun set in glorious waves of yellow, orange and amber over the whispering gleam of Lake Travis. Set on a hillside overlooking Austin's most famous reservoir, the oasis at its best lived up to it's name. An Oasis of calm and peace, relaxing with friends or by yourself. Just sit back and enjoy the show. Rest in Peace.
