I recently had one of the best dining experiences ever at the Oasis Cafe. First, I called just to see if they were open New Years day. They were, and when I asked if I needed a reservation, they said that I would not need one, but that they would be pleased to take one for me if I liked. My wife, two year old little girl and I arrived and we were seated right away, we did not need to ask for a booster seat either, it was offered.\r

Our drink orders were taken promptly. I requested a glass of Champagne and some fresh cut limes on the side, no questions or weird looks, they just brought me what I requested.\r

After my wife ordered for herself and our little one, I asked if I might deviate from the standard menu by combining the Crab Cakes with the Eggs Benedict instead of the Salmon. Our waiter was prompt to confirm with the manager and get my special order placed.\r

I am a particular fan of Crab Cakes Benedict. These were the best Crab Cakes Benedict I have ever had! The Crab Cakes were the closest in flavor to real Maryland Lump Crab Cakes that I have had outside of Maryland. The hollandaise sauce was perfect.... Light with just the right amount of tanginess, not overly sweet and syrupy. My compliments to the chef.\r

The atmosphere was delightful. We came in at about 12:30 PM. Fresh snow had fallen that morning and into the open patio south of the restaurant, between the restaurant and the bookstore on the other side. The sun gleamed over the snow and poured into the dining area through the south facing windows, giving the whole place a feeling of warmth on that clear winter day. Perhaps it was the sunlight refracting in to the room, but as I looked about the restaurant everyones eyes seemed to have a sparkle of happiness in them. I was overwhelmed with joy as I dined with my family and played peek-a-boo with my little girl at the table.\r
