Totally disagree! The food is absolutely atrocious and way over priced. And the service is routinely horrible. To top it off, there’s way too many N.Y.C., L.A., Chicago and other “Carpet Bagger” transplants that have over ran this place as patrons because of how liberal Austin is. They bring their typical rude Yankee attitudes and demeanor with them, compared to real and native Texans who demonstrate hospitality.
I agree the food is poor and overpriced. Having been here (not by choice) for 14 years, I find the people from here very nice, I am sad you generalized that people from NY, LA are rude, some are, some are ok, some are as nice as most people from here. I am from Massachussetts, and have lived in California. Please be more open minded, we are. We have put up with the stupidity of UT and A & M, extend your wings and see the other states, TX is not that great. The weather is awful, and Texas travel magazines lie about the average temps.....108 here this summer daily, just about. Dave
When a place bills itself as the “Sunset Capital of Texas,” it better live up to the boast. The Oasis on Lake Travis does. It's located on a cliff 450 feet above Austin's Lake Travis, so customers get a masterful view. It also has the largest outside seating in Texas, so plenty of people can watch the sun going down while eating Tex-Mex and seafood. The view is so amazing, and such a draw that there's even an annual sunset photo contest.
The menu? It's Texas, so there's queso, of course. Some other interesting apps include, "fireballs" (spicy chicken bites with jalapeño ranch), and seafood-stuffed avocado. Mains include enchiladas, chile rellenos, and again, of course, "sizzling" fajitas.

Oh yeah. Might as well thrown the California Carpet Baggers in there, too!
The Oasis was the best overall sunset dining experience I've ever had, hands down.

I’ll pass on the Oasis.

They missed one - The Kauai Grill at the St. Regis Princeville on Kauai. Amazing menu and a Bali Hai sunset.
Absolutely a view to be included! The sunset, the rainbows and the food can't be beat!
