"The true essence of an Asado engages family & friends long before the food hits the table."

ASADO LIFE is a full-service, experience-driven waterfront restaurant. Nestled along the picturesque San Sebastián River, Asado Life offers a dining experience like no other. Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner or a lively gathering with friends, the serene backdrop of the river enhances the ambiance of our restaurant. At Asado Life, we believe in the art of live fire grilling—a method that infuses every dish with unparalleled flavor and aroma. Our chefs skillfully harness the power of open flames to create mouthwatering grilled specialties.

Our Asados are rain or shine occasions. We have covered dining areas in the event of rain. Please dress to your comfort level for outdoor dining.

We do not allow outside wine or beverages.

These meals are prepared hours in advance and cooked low and slow in order to achieve the smoky, rich, bold flavors that develop over a longer grilling time. We do not accept cancellations or changes within 48 hours of the scheduled Asado. Cancellations will be refunded less processing fees. Our Asados are rain or shine events.

We booked a party of 11 for a birthday celebration and they could not have been more accommodating. We spoke with them a few times before arrival and they were so friendly and professional which carried over to our experience at the restaurant. We ordered from both the pre-arrival and the dinner menu and everything was fantastic. The only downside of our experience was it was a colder than average evening which caused the patio roll downs and heaters to be necessary. When we were first seated, the breeze, ok it was wind, was coming through gap in the flaps making one section of our table uncomfortable. They were so accommodating at shifting our table to move it so it was no longer in the wind. We would absolutely dine here again.

Asado has just started with a “regular” menu for a few nights a week. It was wonderful. The steak perfectly cooked, the potatoes, vegetables, salad were very good. Both of us enjoyed the evening immensely. Service impeccable.

Very happy overall! Server was great even with our large party. It was pretty loud out on the patio with work parties going on and such. The food was exceptional as always although I wished we’d known about the pre-order items. I also would suggest letting guests know if they’re sitting inside or outside. The drinks were the only hiccup.. my friend ordered an espresso martini which was flat, no foam and not that good. Then she ordered a dirty martini which was also very off, although we couldn’t pinpoint why.

The level of Service at our table was very bad for the amount that this restaurant charges. This could be a great spot, but they need to level up on the service. Bar tenders prior to us sitting were great and cocktails were delicious. Poor attention to detail overall however. We made a reservation for 10 weeks in advance but they sat us outside in basically a patio that was covered in plastic to block wind, but also blocked view and we were basically sitting on patio furniture and spent over $150 per person, was quite disappointed.

The flavors of the marinades & sauces and quality of the meats, cooked to perfection, keeps Asado Life at the top of my list of St. Augustine restaurants.
