I love this place. No, I mean I
really love this place. If I have people coming in from out of town (even vegetarians), I take them to
Oasis.
If friends of mine want to head out for a night on the town, that night more often than not starts at Oasis. Even the most picky and difficult diners will enjoy a meal at Oasis. Whether you like meat, salt, potatoes, rice, fish, or vegetables, you will like Oasis. Especially if you like meat and salt.

Oh, and if you are torn about what to do for dinner on a Thursday and think that watching Brazilian soap operas and listening to odd renditions of Cindy Lauper songs along with The Girl From Ipanema played on acoustic guitar, you are in for a night to remember. The drinks here, alcoholic or not, are great. Coconut, papaya, cashew, guarana, beer, wine, Caipirinhas, smoothies, all sorts of odd and different things. The menu is pretty big, and you can order from the menu or get the buffet, but I usually go for the Brazuka which is a choice of steak, steak, sausage, chicken, pork chop, sausage, chicken, steak, in any order, served on a sword. Yes, a sword. This meat sword is served with a ridiculous amount rice, farofa (fried cassava flour with bacon), fries or fried yucca, black beans and salad. 95% of the time you can substitute the potato salad for regular salad, as long as the potato salad hasn't run out for the night. 3 people can share a Brazuka, often with some food to bring home, for less than $20. That's a hard deal to beat. The only negative thing that I can say about Oasis is that if you order the steak raw, rare, or medium-rare, you are going to get a medium-well done steak. Very seldom will you find any pink in the steak on the meat sword unless you really stress it to the wait staff, who, by the way, are always sweet and friendly. Other than that, you can't beat this place. Everything is always good.
