Burgers are mostly gourmet. Also, Dogs are offered and 2 salad choices mentioned by another reviewer. So, quite limited menu. We had a mushroom burger w/slaw and a meatloaf burger with sub fries for +$1 and 2 ultras - bill was $36.36. With our $7 tip we spent $43.36 for lunch - a little on the pricey side even if the food was very good. I think I can get a black and blue burger at the bar in the Lopez restaurant at the same or better price and get a beer on happy hour or soda with refills.
Can't comment on the adirondeck chairs as we sat out by the pool in the priority area, but they do not look comfortable for a sit-up-to-the-table environment.
Hope they take a second look at the changes they made - all may not be the best for TV community. Hours are 11 - 7. No breakfast and no Friday night burger special with music. I'm afraid the updated decor does not make up for the take aways for the customer.

My Wednesday golf group visited the Oasis after golf today. 9 of the 11 left without eating after looking at the menu which several others have basically described as limited and very pricy for a crumby pool bar. Of the 11, four of us run groups of between 8 -16 players who intend to boycott the Oasis Burger Company in favor of several decent and more reasonable restaurants in Mulberry Plaza on each of the 15-20 times annually that we play at Lopez. Made our feeling known to the new Manager who indicated she would advise "Mr. John" of our concerns. Another complaint we offered was that they now have no tables that seat more than six people. Don't they realize that they formerly catered to large groups of golfers at tables that would accommodate the entire group. Thanks for the upgraded facility Mr John but we liked our old Pool Bar venue, not the upscale rip off version that you have created. If you want to visit us to discuss this further when we eat after golf you'll just have to go down the block to visit with us at Beef O'Bradys. Oh, by the way, $3.95 is a bit much for a side of waffle fries and $2.75 for a coke with no refills ain't no bargain either as was the $2.95 Glass of Lemonade.
