The Oasis on Joe Pool Lake

In the past, the Oasis had been one of our favorite restaurants but unfortunately that has changed. On our last (and final) visit, we arrived there and was told we had to wait 20 minutes before we could be seated out on the patio because there were no tables. Even though we looked and noticed that the patio was only about 20% occupied, we informed the front desk we would be seated at the bar about 7 feet behind them. As 20 minutes turned into 30, we started to notice that folks who arrived after us were being seated ahead of us. Keep in mind, there were only 2 of us so we weren't a large party. After bringing this to their attention, we were told "oh, we were just about to seat you guys" Once seated, we sat on the patio for about an hour and not once did a wait person approach our table. The view of the lake was the only thing that kept us occupied. After speaking to the manager about our issue, he was not apologetic or sympathetic to our situation. In fact, his demeanor was as if we should have been happy to even be at his establishment. I've very dissapointed because I've referred this restuarant to others in the past and have often brought large parties to there but never again

I had heard great things about this place, and the food was good, but our service was horrible. We had a large party so the tip was figured into the bill, but the waiter didn't refill drinks or check on our steaks, etc. until we asked.

The Oasis is great stop to make if you are spending the day out at Joe Pool Lake. The food is good and the service is great. The View is like any lake view, beautiful. They are also a great place to hold receptions and small banquets.

Good place to go for the day. The service and staff was above average. Would take the family back soon.

This is a great restaurant for special occasions. The view of the lake provides a great backdrop for romantic evenings or special dates.
