Food Scene
The Oasis Restaurant is VERY close to our house. The atmosphere is outstanding, the views are usually spectacular, the food is fine and the margaritas are awesome! You can actually spot our house from their deck! Just look toward the Dam. Don't worry if there is a wait, because the Oasis is so huge you won't have to wait long.

Spicewood is very casual and they are dog friendly. They have a variety of offerings and we love their "Independence" red. They don't just have random people doing the tastings. It is usually one of their principals. Their cheese plates are awesome as well.

Hamilton Pool is a rare jewel. It was created because a cave roof caved in and exposed a natural swimming area. We are told that it has become popular over the last couple of years, so you need to make reservations.
