[AUS] Best Lakefront Restaurant

**TexasMike** · #1 05-06-2006, 02:13 PM

What are your favorite lakefront restaurants in the Austin area?
I'm planning on renting a boat on Lake Travis soon and was wondering if there are any nice/neat places that I haven't heard of yet. Some place where you can dock the boat and enter from the water. No dress codes because we will be in our swim garb.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Not much help, but I've been trying to get to the Oasis for my first time, but everytime I want to go it's been raining or about to. :-(.

Try Shades, directly across from Lakeway. It has been years since I've been out there, so I'm not positively sure that it is still there, but it should be.

Didn't the Oasis burn down recently? I went there years ago and it was pretty nice.

I think they rebuilt some of it and it is now operational again.

It's been operational for a while (maybe even a year), it was partially open about a month after the fire.

There's also Carlos & Charlie's, around the corner from my old lake house. And Sam Hill Grill (or whatever it is now) just down the lake from there.

Oasis is at the top of the cliff, not waterfront......
