The food was good, but a bit pricey for what you get (about $20 a dish). They have a fun s'mores plate for dessert that is a lot of fun for the kids. All in all, it was definitely worth the drive and was a fun night out with family and friends.

Not as impressive a view as the Oasis on Lake Travis, but the food quality here is eons better. A steep rocky descent walking from the parking lot to the restaurant might make this a poor choice for people who are challenged with their mobility.

We really enjoyed just chilling out lakeside with some iced tea and good company eating some of the best chicken tenders I've ever had paired with very nicely spiced french fries and delicious street corn. Carb overload but it was worth it.

There?s a small hike (a set of stone stairs) to reach the restaurant which adds to the charm. You can drive to the restaurant, butparking is on the side of the road and very few. The hike seemed to be a better option. We ordered the coconut battered shrimp,3?s company, Mac and cheese kids meal and the Lakeside s?mores. Everything was yummy! The view is amazing, without the crazycrowd you see in Oasis or Ski shores cafe. The only thing I would mention is there were not much options for vegetarians/vegans.

The drive out is nice, but the road is very winding. Parking is at a premium here as well, so be prepared for a steep walk.

Nothing jumped out at me on the menu, so I went with a burger. I had a Sunset BBQ burger and fries, and they were good. I also had a Jalapeño Peach Mule. It was nice and cold, and tasted good, though you definitely tasted the jalapeño. My wifehad the Meza's Camerones. She was warned that they were spicy, and they were. She ended up rinsing them in her water to coolthem down a bit. The service was good, and lake view was very nice. The restrooms were clean. We enjoyed our time there andcertainly come back.
