So i ended up going to The Oasis around 7:30 didn't even have to make reservations. Got to see the sunset around 8:10. I recommend this place to anyone 
i will be going again that's for sure. Parking wasn't bad at all either, they have a new parking garage with people on golf-carts pretty much taking you right to the front door, so its like valet without letting someone drive your car!

Welcome to town man.
My favorite mexican food is Texican Cafe, there is one at the south end of manchaca and one at lamar and ben white.
Also if you like bbq salt lick is just out in driftwood. I work there and I will NEVER get tired of our food which is saying a lot if youve ever worked in a restaurant.

There are some really great places to eat around here:
Thai:
Satay
Steak:
Houston's (I don't dig other places near as much) I order the cowboy ribeye
Italian:
Sienna
Mexican:
So many....Fonda San Miguel is pretty good.
All worth the drive/$$. I don't eat at places just because they're expensive although I've enjoyed many of the previously mentioned places, these are a few of my favorite, but less well known.

speaking of austin, where can i find some nice driving roads? it's really hilly here, so i assume there are some backroads where you can really open up the throttle and have some fun in the twistys and etc.
sorry to go off topic.
i was at pluckers tonight. it was good. just moved here too. for school
