"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.

    Food was excellent. Came by boat on a beautiful day. Easy docking. Service was very slow but friendly. Too many tables per server. Ambiance perfect.

    I was so excited to dine at Asado Life after seeing photos on Instagram. I was wowed walking in the door, restaurant and view are both gorgeous. There were no roasting meats over a fire which was disappointing. We sat on the covered patio as we knew there was a storm coming within an hour of our arrival. Our server was super friendly but the options for gluten free limited. We were told the few dishes that could be gluten free were not adjustable. We watched the storm roll in and only after the end started raging and diners getting wet did the staff start preparing. They started by clearing empty tables and rolling down plastics barriers on a side where there were no diners. We moved our table back to keep from getting soaked however when we asked if they could roll down our barrier we were told they were Mickey as fast as they could. At the time the staff was busier moving umbrellas than protecting the diners. After another 5-10 minutes we finally picked up our plates and went indoors. The staff needed to focus more on the needs and comfort of their customers. Besides that the food was average. Overall disappointing and for the money I wouldn’t go back.
