The Sunset Capital of Texas The Oasis started off as just an idea. Beau Theriot, the owner of The Oasis , has always been a visionary, but never imagined what his idea would blossom into. Thirty-eight years later, The Oasis has become a well-known jewel nestled in the Austin hill country.
Located on a cliff 450 feet above Austin’s Lake Travis , the 30 thousand square foot restaurant (see our menu) and special event center houses eight event rooms and multiple dining decks overlooking the Lake , and accommodates parties from 2 to 2,500.

Lake Travis parks allow for a variety of activities such as picnicking, grilling, swimming , hiking, boat ramp access and more.
