I ordered the crabcake sandwich and fried pickles. My husband ordered the Oasis burger. We both agree that we should have saved our money. The food is terrible. I don't mean to be rude but, it's true.To the reply...I have no idea what you are talking about. We wasn't rude to anyone. The young lady that took our order was very nice. We had no reason to be rude. In going through the other reviews and the responses to your customers, YOU (whoever you are) are the rude one. And I WILL NOT apologize for that! Your customer relations suck. I have NEVER had someone to come across to customers as you do. We will not be returning to your establishment.

Been coming here a few years. I come for lunch, not the bar or pool. Food is usually reliably good, though the prices and portions have changed over the last 2 years.Fun and unique atmosphere overlooking a swimming pool and the river.

They had a delicious seafood platter that my husband & I shared. It had plenty on the platter for us both!Inside the place is clean, had a large bar as well as restaurant.Out back is unique, it has a pool, stage were bands play and another large bar.Behind this place, there is boat docking which made it convenient for us. There are private slips there to so watch for signs.We have been here a few times for live bands in the evening. This was the first time in daylight. The drinks are a bit pricey, that would be my only con.

Was there on a Saturday night (7pm) to see a tribute band. Not crowded at all. Great location! Was surprised they had a pool, too! Food was tasty but came out cold. We wanted draft beer but were told they didn't have any -- cans only. We tried to order something else & were told they didn't have that either. Settled on classic Mojitos. Not good. Switched to another drink & those were great. Signs state that pool was for 18 years & older ... not true. Kids were in the pool ALL night! Waitress was great! Always coming by to see if we needed anything. Well be back! Had a great time!

Great bands and atmosphere

Great marina bar! Furnishings outside could use a little updating but with a pool being available to the patrons I can see why they leave it be. We had a pizza which was ok. Fried Clam Basket was good, Mojito's were terrible but the Cranberry & Vodka drinks we had were good. Beer in cans only. They had a live band (Ultimate Rush Tribute Band) and that was awesome!

Bartender charged $2 more than the waitress for the exact same drinks. Which has happened to me before here as well. No one wants to walk away feeling scammed. Also the kitchen has issues. Chicken nuggets were gooey, yes gooey, it was disgusting. The Nacho chips were stale and some chocolate brownie bites given to the kids tasted like pickles. I only complained about the chicken nuggets but it's clear the kitchen needs some work all around. This place has great potential. I love the music and environment but I will watch my drink pricing and won't eat here again. *To the response- I ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri and a bucket... so no double shot option... but thanks for looking for excuses instead of addressing the actual issues going on. You have a great day as well

First time here and it was pretty busy. The bartender outside marah was the best caught her attention and she made the most refreshing margarita for my mother and I. My parents are in town from Connecticut and they are loving the vibe. We met old marketing guy David Orlando and he was right this is the destination for the summer!

Nightclub music in an open non-nightclub atmosphere.Starting April 2022 on Thursdays, Amazing!Underground EDM from House to Hardcore to top club dance music, 2 step, hip hop, to a thumpin' live dj mix set!I recommend bringing your friends!!If you go out on the St.Johns river with your party boat? This is a must stop marina!If you are driving? This place is as its name suggests; an Oasis.Just remember its 15mph down the drive into the marina and follow the road to the left, past the stop sign.In either case. Thursday night is the day to get your dance on!

My husband took me here for Valentine’s Day in hopes of eating outside. The ambiance outside is nice. However we didn’t because it was cold outside. The inside need a remodel. Its kinda of ran down. But the waitress was so sweet & attentive. Some patrons were loud & annoying but it was ok. The food was decent for a great price. They have an events calendar I wouldn’t mind checking out.

A hidden gem in Sanford that is overlooked. The food has been amazing since they’ve revamped their menu. The bartenders are always attentive and a ton of fun to be around. The vibes and waterfront view are what really sets Oasis apart from other bars and restaurants. Highly recommend.

Great service great food has a great big pool. They have a DJ and it's right by the water next to a marina. Family friendly. Full bar on pool deck.

Great experience here last night, no issues. Bartenders and staff were extremely friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very cool. My brother and I had tickets to a show here that was outdoors and it was a lot of fun! I look forward to returning soon!
