What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This lively American restaurant and tiki bar is praised for its great atmosphere, friendly staff, and generous portions that offer good value. While many enjoy the seafood and beach vibe, some reviews mention inconsistent food quality and occasional service issues, particularly during busy periods or near closing.
"Oasis exceeded our expectations in every way! The entire staff was welcoming and this restaurant not only had The 'Cheers' vibe was spot on, but also family friendly. We chose to eat upstairs where we enjoyed the upbeat atmosphere and sports TVs. Our server, Alison, was phenomenal – knowledgeable, attentive, and warm. She knew the menu inside out and shared the restaurant's history with us.
The food was incredible! I devoured the seafood trio platter (blackened mahi, fried oysters, and shrimp) with delicious squash and Mac 'n Cheese. My husband's fried mahi sandwich was massive and mouthwatering, served with crispy onion rings that were a highlight. Everything was served piping hot, and the presentation was great too.
The sunset views were stunning, and our manager was helpful in capturing the moment. We highly recommend Oasis for its exceptional hospitality, amazing food, and welcoming atmosphere. Alison's service was top-notch, and we're already planning our next visit! A well-deserved A+ for this gem!"

"I have dined here before and have always experienced good food and service.
Today we came in for breakfast. It wasn't too busy. We placed our order. A few other tables received their food even though they had come in well after us.
Food finally shows up. I ordered corned beef with bacon and eggs. I don't know what the corned beef was but it wasn't corned beef. Bacon and eggs were fine.
So when the waiter came back to ask how our food was I explained the dilemma with the corned beef. The waiter asked if I wanted to exchange it for something else at no charge. So I ordered white toast. We waited so long that we were already done with our meal when the toast showed up.
So he comes back and asked if we wanted anything else or if we were ready for the check. I told him we're ready for the check and that was another 30 minute wait.
Probably will not find here again."

"We came in on April 6, 2025 hungry. Luckily for us we found this restaurant with great service!! Emily served us right away and she told us a variety of things she had liked and she answered all our questions about things we were curious about. We all ordered and the food came out quick and delicious. When something didn’t come to our expectations, someone came over and swapped it out to how we liked immediately. We will be coming back!"
